1 John 5:4 “Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith’.

DAILY READING; • John 6:60-71; 1 Chronicles 25-26; Zechariah11

Archibald Edward Glover, was a British missionary who served with the China Inland Mission during the boxer rebellion in China where many foreigners were killed.
At the beginning of the riots, on July 10 1900, Chinese soldiers came early in the morning to the mission station to take Archibald Glover and his family to safety.
After being driven for 30 miles in a crude open cart, the soldiers brought them to a town where they were to rest a while before continuing their journey. Knowing the town to be particularly hostile, Glover and his wife cried out to God for protection.
Their escorts drove them to an inn in the town. But in no time news of their arrival spread and a mob gathered and began calling for death to the ‘foreign devils’.
In the confusion, Glover, surprisingly noted that the soldiers who were supposed to protect them had sneaked away, abandoning them to their fate.
Looking up to God to save them from imminent death, Glover and his wife specifically asked Him to put His fear upon the people of the town in such a way that no finger would be lifted against them.
As they stepped out into the street, Glover quoted Psalms 93:3-4 “The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. The Lord on High is mightier than the noise of many waters.”
Something amazing then happened. As they walked through a path in the midst of the crowd of about a thousand people, a force seemed to suddenly paralyze them all. The crowd stood silent as stones.
It was indeed phenomenal as Glover and his family witnessed the mighty power of God. Their hearts were bowed in worship before God as they freely acknowledged, “This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.”
They passed safely and found the soldiers standing further down the crowd. The soldiers were also in awe of what had happened. Once again Glover and his family entered into the cart and continued their journey to the next town, unharmed.
Glover ended up being among the few foreigners who escaped during the Boxer rebellion that cost the life of many foreigners.

Truly, The Lord on High is mightier than the noise of many waters!
When you engage the Word in battle, no opposition can resist your authority.
Though you may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, when the Lord is with you, surely you shall fear no evil.
God’s enemies will always perish at His Presence. The floods may lift up their waves, but the Lord on High is mightier than them all.
Though the medical report, financial challenge, family crisis may seem to be lifting up their voices against you, your God is greater than them all. Just ensure His presence is with you through prayers, study of the Word and praise.
As you stay strong in faith, you will surely overcome every gang-up against you.
It doesn’t matter how bad any negative situation may appear, the Lord with you is strong and powerful. He is the Lord, mighty in battle, against whom no gate of hell can prevail.
This should give you confidence when the enemy is saying that there is no way out for you.
As a child of God you can never be stranded. No matter how it may seem you are surrounded or outnumbered, always remember that the greater One lives in you.
Certainly, greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.[1 John 4:4].
God is the mighty Man of war. When He comes in His might, the earth trembles, He makes every opposition to bow.
He is the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Ancient of days. There is no one like Him.
He is the Commander in Chief of the Host of Heaven; He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
He has redeemed us by His Blood. And because we are redeemed of the Lord, we are destined to always overcome.
Surely “Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith.”[1 John 5:4].

PRAYER: Lord, I deeply appreciate You for the deliverance power that is available to me through the Blood of Jesus. Thank You for causing to triumph always in battles in Jesus Mighty Name.
