MFM Daily Devotional 1 July 2023 MESSAGE
The world is used to interpreting a fortress as a place or building of exceptional security, but in God’s Kingdom, a fortress is not just a thing, it is a Person. Every time God is referred to as a fortress in the Bible, these words commonly appear: refuge, rock, strength and trust. In God, we have a well-protected refuge that is difficult for enemies to invade. In God, we find strength for defence and victory. In God, we can put our trust and have nothing to fear or worry about. In God, we are fortified.
So what issues are confronting you? What enemies are hindering your progress? It doesn’t matter how many they are. It doesn’t matter how strong they claim to be. It doesn’t matter it your family and friends have abandoned you. As long as you have God, there is hope for victory. Having challenges doesn’t make you abnormal. Jesus says we shall have tribulations in the world, but we should be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world (John 16:33), and handed over the victory to us.

Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Is the enemy pursuing you? Are your enemies wicked and unrepentant? Run to Jesus. Make Him your fortress and strong tower. Beloved, whatever your problems may be, take them to God in prayer; He is your mighty fortress; rejoice and trust that no enemy can have the final say over your life. You are more than a conqueror!
