THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)

DATE: WEDNESDAY, 25TH OCTOBER, 2023 

TOPIC: THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD

TEXT:  MICAH 4:1-2

1. Now it shall come to pass in the latter days [That] the mountain of the LORD's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And peoples shall flow to it.
2. Many nations shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
 
MESSAGE: 
The mountain of the Lord is referred to as the abode of God, that is, the presence of God. It is a place of salvation; God revealed to prophet Micah in Micah 4:2, that in the last days, people will come to the mountain of the Lord for safety. The temple of God is the mountain of God and it is the Lord Jesus Christ because Micah 4:1 says the mountain will be lifted and so our Lord Jesus Christ has been lifted to provide salvation to the perishing. We are now in the end times where there is no safety - the whole world is in chaos without peace. These are the signs of the end times (last day). However, on the mountain of the Lord there is deliverance, salvation and hope. With the hopelessness around us, we need to all run back to the mountain of the Lord because there is no other place to hide anymore.
 
The rate of sin in our society today is high – people commit atrocities like a husband without a care about the effects of sin on the family, nation and the world at large! Everything is falling apart and we need to come to the mountain of the Lord for forgiveness and deliverance, and even for safety. If we run to Jesus today, He will save us. Tomorrow may be too late!
 
PRAYER:
Draw me closer to You today, dear Lord, so I may be safe. Amen.

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh...
