THE INVASION WILL NOT HAPPEN
Read: Isaiah 7:1-9
Meditation verse:
“Thus says the Lord God: “It shall not stand, nor shall it come to pass (Isaiah 7:7).
These are very soul trying times. Insecurity, high cost of living, flooding, terrorism, and invasion of our land, resulting in the killing of innocent souls. The arrogance of the wicked is frightening. Globally, the picture is not brighter, with the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, pandemic, flooding, costs of living crisis and global recession. All of which is leading to a spiral in mental health issues: – depression, stress, and anxiety.
Amid all of these, God is sending His word of comfort to you this day. “O you afflicted one, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with colourful gems, and lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of crystal, and all your walls of precious stones. All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed, they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. Behold, I have created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the [b]spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me, says the Lord” (Isaiah 54:11-17).
But you must believe and keep faith. Do not give up. Do not lose your faith in God. “If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established” (Isaiah 7:9).
IN HIS PRESENCE is written by Oke Chinye.
Have you asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart?
He says in Mathew 11:28, “come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He longs to give you rest."
Would you like to do so now? Here’s a prayer you can say:
Dear Jesus, I believe that You died to save me from all my sins. Today, I invite you into my heart and I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive all my sins and help me to live my life for You.

I would love to pray with you personally and send you a copy of my book; ‘Living the Life’ to encourage you as you begin your new life in Christ.
