YOU ARE BUILT FOR STRENGTH

Psalm 84:7 KJV
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

Dear Believer,

We are called to increase in strength. The reason is that the longer we are in this world, the greater the challenges we face. And if the challenges increase, there must be enough strength to handle them.

Yesterday’s strength won’t be enough for today’s challenges. You can decide to grow in any aspect of your life, but if you aren’t growing in strength at the same time, whatever you gain through growth in those other areas will be lost. This is because you won’t have enough strength to defend it.

“They go from strength to strength” means going from one level of strength to another, or a greater level of strength.

What is the secret of this increase in strength?

First, it is about moving to Zion and second, it is appearing before God in Zion.

Note that this passage was primarily written to Old Testament Believers. These people moved to Mount Zion in Jerusalem to connect to divine strength. We New Testament Believers are blessed with a greater advantage.

Hebrews 12:22 ISV
Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, to tens of thousands of angels joyfully gathered together.

We aren’t marching to Zion, like that beautiful song says; we are dwelling in Zion! We are in the same city where angels dwell, called the city of the living God.

Many Believers have the idea that they need to get to Zion, a far away place to connect to God’s power. That makes their faith weak. But from what we can clearly see in the Word of God, what they are looking for is already with them; they aren’t just aware of it.

Strength to achieve, to overcome, to defend and to build — all this has been made available to us as Believers. We take it by faith and move with it.

Zion is well defended. It is the city of God. It is surrounded by the mountains of God’s power.

Psalm 125:1-2 KJV
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

Believer, you have access to strength. God the Father has never birthed a child that He has given over to weakness. What many Believers don’t know is what is killing them. They are seeking for strength instead of realizing that the door to strength has been open to them.

God’s Holy Spirit is already given to citizens of Zion. The supply of strength is inexhaustible. But like the proverbial fool who is thirty in spite of abundance of water, many Believers remain weak in Zion, the place of inexhaustible strength.

God has made available all the strength you’ll ever need for any kind of challenge. Having fellowship with the Lord is the way to constantly refill the power. The rivers of living water and the strength of God will keep flowing from your spirit as long as you keep connecting through fellowship with the brethren in Zion and the Holy Spirit.

You are built for strength as speed. Rise up and move!

Move to prayer. Move I to the Word. Move towards great things and achieve them in the strength of the Lord.

Have a beautiful day.

Your friend,
Deon.
