THE LORD OF HOST Psalm 46:1-11
Devotional: -“The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge” (V. 7) NKJV
Jesus is the Lord of hosts. That is, He is the head of the army or the forces of God. Remember the forces of God carries out the word of God and Jesus is the commander in Chief (Ephesians 1:17-23). He is the Lord of hosts. That is why you need not to be afraid (Psalm 23:4). Your Savior, your Redeemer, your Lord is the head of the army of God (Philippians 2:9-11).
The word of God says, the Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge. Jesus earns this position because He came to die for the sin of humanity. No one else has done such a sacrifice, acceptable to God for the remission of the human sin and redemption of his soul. Because Jesus humbled Himself to die for the sin of humanity God gave Him this exalted position of authority (Philippians 2:9). That is why we are to pray in the name of Jesus (Philippians 2:10) This makes the word of God so powerful. As the commander of the host of God, all you need to call is His name, ‘Jesus’ and the host will respond.
Friend, you need to believe and accept the truth of the power in the word of God. You must learn to keep speaking it, you must learn to always remember that the Lord of host, who is your Saviour will always bring it to past. He was in battle with Joshua (Joshua 5:14). He was in the fire with the three Hebrews (Daniel 3:24-25). He is always with you (Psalms 46:11). Always declare the word in His name and it will not fail. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, help me never to lose sight of your presence.
“WHEN YOU HAVE THE COMMANDER, YOU HAVE THE COMMAND”
