DIVINE BACKING 

Matthew 18:18  Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Nothing enhances a man’s destiny like God’s backing.

A deep rooted tree that survives a terrific storm needs no questions to how he survives it , the secret is the root that is deep rooted.

A life that is deep rooted in God can not be pulled down and shaken away by any power because He has the backing of God.

The Divine Backing is Divine Support Of God That Would never want to let your enemy see your nakedness.

The Divine Backing Is Divine Support Of God to give you victory over those that are stronger than you .

Beloved this world is too mysterious to go through it without Divine Backing.

Who Back You determined The Level of Your boldness.

A life that Has the backing Of God is like a house that is built on the rock, No flood , no storms can pull it down .

No matter how hard they try , they will fail , this is the greatest enjoyment of those who are doing the Will of God.

This is why our text gave us the simplest definition that :

What you bind on earth Shall be bind 

What you lose on earth Shall Be lost .
