THE MYSTERY OF THE STRONG CITY (PART 1)

16526. EVERLASTING FATHER, WE THANK YOU AS WE BASK IN THE PLUNDER AND SPOILS OF THE BATTLE OF THE GATES TESTIMONIES. THANK YOU FOR REST AND RECUPERATION.

16527. THE MYSTERY OF THE STRONG CITY (PART 1)

MATTHEW 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A CITY that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Proverbs 10:15
The rich man’s wealth is his STRONG CITY: the destruction of the poor is their poverty

Psalm 31:21
Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a STRONG CITY

Psalm 108:7-13 (KJV):
7. God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

10 Who will bring me into the STRONG CITY? who will lead me into Edom?

11. Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

12. Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

13. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

16525. ISAIAH 26:1-3 (KJV):

1. In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; WE HAVE A STRONG CITY; SALVATION WILL GOD APPOINT FOR WALLS AND BULWARKS.

2. OPEN YE THE GATES, THAT THE RIGHTEOUS NATION WHICH KEEPETH THE TRUTH MAY ENTER IN.

3. Thou wilt keep him in PERFECT PEACE, whose MIND is STAYED on thee: BECAUSE he TRUSTETH in thee.

16528. BEFORE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT A STRONG CITY IS, LET US FIRST UNDERSTAND WHAT IS A CITY? BOTH SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY

A CITY IS AN URBAN SETTLEMENT. IT IS A PLACE OF HIGH LEVEL OF TRADING, PRODUCTION, AND COMMERCIAL SIGNIFICANCE AND INFLUENCE.

IT IS A PLACE PROSPERITY AND SOPHISTICATED MODERNITY IN TERMS OF HIGH CONCENTRATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE OF POPULATION.

A CITY IS THE EPITOME OF HIGH TOWERS 🗼 🗼 🗼 AND TERRITORIAL GLORY.

BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE ACTIVITIES OF A CITY, MOST CITIES HAVE THEIR OWN AUTONOMOUS, OR ALMOST INDEPENDENT SELF-GOVERNMENT

EVERY CITY IN THE WORLD TODAY HAS INVISIBLE MAGNET 🧲 THAT CONTINUALLY ATTRACTS PEOPLE AND PROSPERITY TO ITSELF.

JESUS USED THE METAPHOR OF A CITY TO DESCRIBE AND DEFINE A BELIEVER. HE SAID IN MATTHEW 5:14 – “Ye are the LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A CITY that is SET on AN HILL CANNOT BE HID.”

THAT MEANS AS A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, YOU HAVE AN INVISIBLE AND INVINCIBLE MAGNET 🧲 IN YOU THAT ATTRACT FAVOURS, PREFERENCE, PROMINENCE, IMPACTS, EXPLOITS, BLESSINGS AND CANNOT BE REJECTED BY GOOD THINGS OF LIFE.

EVERY CITY IS A CUSTODIAN OF LIGHTS, PROSPERITY, WEALTH AND EXCEEDING TRAFFIC OF HUMAN TALENTS.

EVERY GREAT CITY IS THE SEAT OF POWER AND HEADQUARTERS OF RULERSHIP OVER ALL OTHER PARTS OF THE NATION OR COUNTRY.

THAT MEANS EVERY CITY HAS AN INVINCIBLE THRONE THAT RULES A COUNTRY OR NATION.

16529. GOD CALLED YOU A 3-DIMENSIONAL CHRISTIAN!

1. A LIGHT ED ☀ CITY
2. A GLOBAL 🌎 CITY
3. A HILLTOP 🏔 OR TOWERING 🗼 OR PROMINENT CITY

A FORTIFIED 🤺, MAGNETIZING 🧲, AND TOWERING 🗼 CITY THAT CANNOT BE REJECTED!

(MATTHEW 5:14) – “Ye are the LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A CITY that is SET ON AN HILL CANNOT BE HID.”

“LIGHT OF THE WORLD” MEANS YOU NOT A LOCAL NUISANCE, YOU’RE NOT A DEFICIT, YOU’RE A GLOBAL ASSET THE WORLD IS LOOKING FOR. YOU’RE A GLOBAL PHENOMENON IF YOU ACTIVATE THE INVISIBLE AND INVINCIBLE MAGNET 🧲INSIDE OF YOU.

YOU CANNOT BE CAGED BY CHAINS OF YOUR NATIVITY OR LOCALITY. YOU’RE BEYOND THE REACH OF THE CAPTIVITY OF FAMILY LINEAGE. , VILLAGE, ANCESTRAL AND LOCAL BONDAGES!

“SET ON AN HILL” MEANS, YOU’RE NOT A PRISONER OF THE VALLEY OF FAILURES. YOU’RE AN “ABOVE ONLY” CHRISTIAN. YOU’RE A MOUNTAIN TOP 🏔 BELIEVER. YOU ARE A TOWERING 🗼 CHRISTIAN AND VISIONARY OF DISTINCTION THAT SEES FARTHER AND BETTER THAN YOUR PEERS!

“CANNOT BE HID” MEANS, MEANS THE CHAINS ⛓🔗⛓ OF OBSCURITY CANNOT CAGE YOU. THE DEMOTION AND REJECTION OF POVERTY CANNOT CATCH UP WITH YOU. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS YOU CANNOT BE MOLESTED OR DEMOTED BECAUSE THE MOUNTAIN TOP🏔GIVES YOU PROMINENCE AND DISTINCTION!

16530. IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DISCUSS PROSPERITY WITHOUT MENTIONING A CITY. GOD ASSOCIATES CITIES WITH PROSPERITY. (ZECHARIAH 1:17) – “Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; MY CITIES THROUGH PROSPERITY SHALL YET BE SPREAD ABROAD; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.”

16531. GOD BLESS OUR VILLAGES AND VILLAGERS AND TOWNFOLKS, BUT THE THE MAGNETS 🧲 OF PROSPERITY ARE IN THE CITIES.

YOU WILL NOT DIE IN THE OBSCURITY AND POVERTY OF THE VILLAGE. THE LORD SHALL SHOWCASE YOU AS HIS SYMBOL OF PROSPERITY AND DIVINE PROMINENCE IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME
