Day SEVEN of Seven Days of Encouragement with Ms. Ongel
Quote by Ms. Ongel: “Lift your standards against the enemy so you will not be shaken”
Bible Verse: Isaiah 59:19 “..When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him”.
I can’t believe it’s now the SEVENTH DAY of Encouragement!! Sis, thank you so much for Rocking with me and for encouraging me. I love it!!
Ladies!! Ladies!! How many of you enjoy walking along the seawall and/or along the beach? I do so much, that on my 30th birthday, I asked my husband for us to do our date night walking along the seawall in Georgetown, Guyana. Yes!! I am originally Guyanese (South American) for those of you who don’t know my nationality. I enjoy listening to the sound of waves; feeling cool ocean breeze blowing against my skin; and watching the sun set. No doubt, I do admire the seawalls because they stand against High Ocean tied, and flooding in coastal communities. However, I never enjoy seeing high waves lashing against seawalls and water flowing over these walls. Sis, the purpose of the seawall is to serve as a defense against flooding of coastal areas; as well as, to protect areas of human habitation and the land from erosion. If the sea defense is broken, it is likely that the area would be flooded, erosion would occur, and disaster would strike. Additionally, people living along the coastal areas would experience flood in their homes, loss of live stocks, and loss of farm crops which causes a delay in certain food supplies within that given community. I believe that seawalls are brilliantly constructed to serve as a form of protection for coastal communities.
Just as seawalls serve as defense against tsunamis or flood; it’s the same way the Lord God Almighty serves as our defense against the enemy when he comes to attack us. When the devil sends sickness, disease, plagues, or launches wicked attacks to make us feel hopeless; the Lord lifts his mighty arms of protection and intercept all these things from affecting our lives. The Lord will position his angels and/or the right people in the right place to surround you, so that you will not be affected by the plots and plans that the enemy have against your life. Ladies!! If you can testify to the Glory of God that you have escaped what was meant to kill you, then you would understand how God lifts up a standard (wall of defense) against the enemy for his daughters.
The Lord promised us in his word that when the enemy shall come in like a flood, he will lift up a standard against him. I want to encourage you to hide under the shadow of the Lord so that you can continue to receive victories against the enemy. Note, if the seawalls aren’t maintain they would break after a period of time, and coastal areas would be flooded. What does this mean? This means the more you maintain your relationship with the Lord, it’s the more you will see his promises being fulfilled in your life, and you will be untouchable by the enemy and his devices. Thank God for his protection & love for us!!
I love you Sis, & pray that you will receive ALL that the Lord has in store for your life.
May you flourish in your God given Assignment
Stay Blessed!!
Go ahead and “Girl Just Shine”.
Yours Truly,
Ms. Ongel
