HORSE GATE

🐎 THE HORSE GATE 🐎

Neh 3:28 Beyond the Horse Gate the priests made repairs, each in front of his own house

The Horse Gate stood north of the Water Gate, adjacent to the temple area. God warned His people not to trust in horses and chariots, but Solomon imported them from Egypt and they became an important part of the nation’s defense system.

Priests, Sheep gate and the Horse gate:

🔆The priests repaired the Horse Gate as well as the Sheep Gate.

🔆Both were near the temple area.

🔆The priests offered the sacrifices and were their spiritual warriors through prayer.

The Horse Gate reminds us, there is warfare in the Christian life and that we must always be ready to fight.

🛡Ephesians 6:10-12 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.🛡

Christians are called to fight for their Lord against the adversary. We do this through

🙏PRAYER

📖THE WORD OF GOD

🛡THE ARMOR OF GOD

🛡 Application ⚔

Have you entered the horse gate?

Are you engaged in spiritual warfare?

Are you relying on the Lord in prayer?

Do you use the Word of God as your sword?

Do you take up the armor each day for protection?

*If you want to be victorious these things are vital*.🏆

Sisters, today let us analyze ourselves.

▪What do we do during trials? Take it to God or take it out on the person?

▪Do we use the word of God or our own words?

▪Are we relying on God or are we relying on our own strength?

He is there to fight our battles, when He fights, we get victory! May we always run to Him and not take things into our own hands! May we learn to walk through the Horse Gate!
