You are preserved and blessed throughout this Month, Quarter, and the remaining half of the year, in Jesus Name.
Introduction:
The strength of the LORD is behind the maker of men in life and destiny. The Psalmist said “For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall” (Psalm 18:29).
You need strength (energy) to fulfill purpose and destiny. We need strength in these days of turmoil, perplexity, uncertainty and fears, where a lot of people’s strength have failed them, because of the happenings and the confrontations of hell against the people of God.
The strength of the Lord is superior to our labour, wisdom, intelligence, knowledge, expertise, influence and connections. It is the secret of impact and exploits in life and destiny. Also, it is the secret of supernatural speed.

It is my prayer that the hand of the Lord rest upon us throughout this month and the remaining half of the year, and it shall occasion drastic changes, growth and phenomenal exploits beyond comprehension in our lives, in Jesus Name.
I also pray that our strength will not fail us, in the day of adversity, in the Name of Jesus (Proverbs 24:10).
