Pastor Femi Paul led the church in prayers on "Strength to Obtain God's Promise". Using Luke 22:41-43 (NKJV) as the lead scripture, he illustrated Jesus' moment of intense prayer and divine strengthening:
> "And He was withdrawn from them about a stoneβs throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, 'Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.' Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him."
Pastor Femi emphasized that divine strength is essential to fulfill God's promises. Just as Jesus was strengthened by an angel in His moment of need, we too require heavenly strength to endure and triumph. He emphasized that in moments of deep struggle, God provides strength, just as He did for Jesus. He further highlighted 1 Samuel 2:9 (AMPC):
> "For by strength shall no man prevail."
Reflecting on these scriptures, he reminded us that human effort alone is insufficient. True victory comes from relying on God's power and aligning with His will.
Let's draw strength from God, trusting Him to empower us to obtain His promises in our lives.
