The Name Of The LORD IS A Strong Tower

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
— Proverbs 18:10

Are you in distress? In poverty? Pain? Bondage to debt? Are you fearful of the future? In great danger?

God spoke through the Holy Spirit-inspired writer of Proverbs to give us the answer: He is our strong tower! The righteous run into His arms of protection and are safe!

But what does God mean when He calls Himself a strong tower?



Your Refuge




A “strong tower” refers to much more than the typical watchtower that surrounded many ancient walled cities. During the time when Proverbs was written, a strong tower was a place of safe refuge, huge and heavily fortified, built with thick stone blocks. The tower’s large walled areas protected many soldiers and replacements.

David wrote:


“From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is Overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings” (Psalm 61:2-4).



Your Provision



Man PrayingGod is a tower of refuge for those who put their trust in Him!

During ancient times, strong towers were built to hold huge amounts of food and supplies. Even in the midst of warfare, these fortresses housed great storages of provision.

What’s the significance to us today?

In this passage, the Hebrew word used for “Lord” is Jehovah, or Yahweh, “my Lord God,” which occurs 6,823 times in the Old Testament.

God not only provides defense and protection for the righteous, but He is a covenant-keeping Yahweh who will never leave us, fail us, or forsake us. Glory to the name Jehovah!



Your Protection




The safest place for anyone is in God’s hands, living within His fortress tower. There, the righteous are promised protection:


“Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever” (Psalm 112:1-3)

And our protection is ensured with a seed:


“Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth” (Ecclesiastes 11:1-2).

“Bread” is the Gospel. “Waters” represents the world. In other words, giving to spread the Gospel to the world protects your future against evil!

We literally protect our tomorrow by being a lover of the Gospel. And as a giver toward the Gospel, we have legal rights and protection provided by God Himself. In fact, the apostle Paul wrote:


“That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come” (1 Timothy 6:18-19).

Giving to the Gospel is your protection for the future! Giving toward the Gospel puts you in a safe place financially!



Your Future



MightyWarriorStorms will come, even if you give and are righteous, but when that happens, you can choose to not focus on the storms: “He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap” (Ecclesiastes 11:4).

Look to God!

Keep sowing, even when storms come.

Keep your eyes on Him, for He is your strong tower! If you want to protect your tomorrow, God has provided you with the secret: Fill your storehouse in the strong tower by continually planting your seed toward the Gospel. Don’t miss it!

Do you want protection that is endless and bountiful? God supplies the seed. All you need is a sowing heart, and God will use what you plant:


“He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully” (2 Corinthians 9:6).

We give because it is God’s will. We give because it is His command! We give because it is His law. We give because the Lord has asked every believer to give. And the Lord Jesus assures us that when we give, we will surely receive.



Your Opportunity



promisesofwodswordWhen we give for the preaching of the Gospel, we don’t have to wait for the harvest. The harvest will be waiting for us! The harvest will come our way as surely as the sun will rise again tomorrow morning. Be encouraged by David’s psalm that says:


“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread” (Psalm 37:25).

The Lord will take care of our needs and our children’s needs, and will never forsake us—as long as we obey the Lord and live a righteous life.

But the days are short. We must get the Gospel out. I believe with all of my heart that harm to the unbeliever is on the way. The Scriptures tell us clearly that evil is coming to the wicked, but God’s people, who love and obey Him, will be protected.

That is God’s Word!

I believe there will be people in the future who will lose everything because of their disobedience to the Lord. But I also believe with all of my heart that you, as a believer, will have nothing to worry about, because as you remain faithful the Lord will protect and bless you abundantly.

This is the time to prepare by sowing seed.

As you sow, you prepare for the blessings that will come upon your life tomorrow, no matter what comes. And as you sow during this time of supernatural planting, the Lord, your strong tower, will surely send you a supernatural harvest and release protection over your life and finances, not only right now, but also in the future!



Financial Victory – Today and Tomorrow



The key to walking in financial victory now and in the future is our covenant relationship with God, for He promised, “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips” (Psalm 89:34).
Pastor Benny HinnYou are a covenant person, and God has promised to take care of you, even in times of famine and difficulty. We are promised:


“The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied” (Psalm 37:18-19).

So as a covenant person today, run to the strong tower of refuge, provision, protection, and opportunity! Sow your seed in faith and believe the Lord to take care of you. Sow today and activate the law of the supernatural harvest that is coming your way!

Wrap your faith around your seed and sow with excitement and expectation! Do not negotiate with the Lord, but obey Him today. Be faithful to God, and He will never let you down.

Release the seed today from your hand, and He will give you more seed to sow and multiply the seed sown. Sow today and activate the law of the supernatural harvest that is coming your way!

Rejoicing with you for your season of divine harvest and freedom from poverty!
