Psalm 91:2(I will say of the LORD, He
is my refuge and my fortress: my God in him will I trust).Psalm 46:11(The LORD
of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge).
Number 35:11(Then ye shall appoint you
to be cities of refuge for you, that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth
any person at unawares. 12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from
the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation
in judgment. 26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of
the city of his refuge, whither he was fled; 27 And the revenger of blood find
him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and revenger of blood kill
the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood).
The bible describes the city of refuge
as a safe place from avenger of blood. God in his infinite mercy has made
available for us a city of refuge. God is our refuge and our city of refuge
today is the house of God (the church) and Jesus Christ is the head of the
Church. He is our high priest. It is a place where we go to purge our sins. No
matter the gravity of your sin or who is pursuing you as soon as you come into
his presence you will be saved. As long as you genuinely repent and surrender
your life to Jesus, he will present your case to his father that you are among
the people that he died for on the cross of Calvary. His blood will cleanse you
from all your sin. It is not enough to run to him, you need to be planted in
your city of refuge. Make it your home. Just like the people in the Old
Testament. The law says if a man slayer comes out of the city refuge he shall
be killed. Whatever is chasing you will be on the lookout to see if you are
going to come out of your city of refuge. It is risky to be found without the
border. 2 Samuel 7:10( Moreover I will find a place for my people Israel,
and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no
more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them anymore, as before
time). Our city of refuge is our appointed place of worship. In this place
you are not permitted to be afflicted by the enemy. God himself watches over
the place. It is a place that God has appointed to meet with his people and it
is a prepared place. Everything you need to live a stress free life is made
available for you. It is very important to know your own city of refuge where
God wants you to be. Jeremiah 3:15(And I will give you pastors according to
mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding). We need to
understand our new found relationship with God and maintain it, we need a
teacher. God said he will give you a teacher, the one you will understand. I
have found mine; I pray you will find yours in case you have not, in Jesus
name. Deuteronomy 12:13( Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt
offerings in every place that thou seest: 14 But in the place which the Lord
shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings
and there thou shall do all that I command thee). It is a place that God
has chosen for you and me. You will not labor in the wrong place in Jesus name.
Ask God to open your eyes and lead you to a place he has chosen for you to
serve him acceptably. If you are not established in a particular Church you may
not learn how to serve him acceptably. The proof that we are in our city of
refuge is peace and joy. That’s exactly what happened the first time I stepped
foot in Winners Chapel. I still remember the theme of that year because I found
what has been missing all along in my life. I was like a child that found
a new toy. Are you laboring under generational curses or any curses? Are you
being pursued by the wicked powers, cry no more and run to Jesus for refuge. If
you have not made God your refuge, take advantage of this opportunity and be
saved in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a
sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your
precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord
Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
