Resting in God’s Peaceful Refuge – Bro. Samuel Dhinakaran

My friend, it’s a pleasure to greet you today with God’s promise from Psalm 9:9 where the Bible says, “The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” What a comforting promise of God!

The Lord is indeed a trustworthy refuge in times of trouble. I would like to share a heart-touching testimony of a sister who found refuge in God when she was going through much trials in life. Every single day, this sister’s life was miserable because she was going through so much abuse from her mother-in-law. She felt as though she was living in hell and she lost all her happiness in life. The very thought of her being trapped in this situation for life drained her of her strength. In this situation, one day, she happened to watch one of our Jesus Calls programmes on YouTube. At that very moment, God’s peace filled her heart. Since then, every time she had a tough time at home, she would watch our videos and receive great consolation from God. She contacted the Prayer Tower and received prayers from the intercessors and she also attend the Prayer Tower meetings. A great peace filled her heart. In one of the Prayer Tower meetings, God filled her with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. She then got trained in the Prayer Tower and started praying for other people. God used her mightily and transformed so many lives through her. People came running to her for prayers. Whenever she got time, she served the Lord and God raised her up to be a powerful vessel. What a beautiful testimony, my friend!

Today, are you also facing trials and tribulations in your life, bombarded by problems one after another? Maybe you too are going through some sort of physical or mental abuse in life and feel so tortured. Maybe you are saying, “Lord, I can’t do this anymore! There is no strength left in me to fight.” The Lord understands your pain. So, take heart, my friend! Come running to the Lord and build your relationship with Him. Trust Him with all your heart. He will surround you with His presence and will become a stronghold of refuge and support in your life. He shall fill you with His perfect peace that passes all understanding and will make you shine for His glory!

PRAYER: Loving Lord, thank You for promising me that You will be my refuge and a stronghold at all times. Lord, even now, I pray that You will grant me the grace to keep my eyes fixed on You always and not on my problems. Help me to trust You in all situations. Fill my anxious heart with Your perfect peace and calm all my fears and worries. I believe with all my heart that You have begun a good work in me and will make me shine for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
