As
Christians, there’re certain things that have been handed over or bequeathed to
us as a heritage. Divine protection is one of them; it’s your heritage in
Christ. Our opening scripture says, “No weapon that is formed against thee
shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD” (Isaiah 54:17). This scripture was a
promise in the Old Testament, but it has become a reality for us in the New
Testament.
Romans 8:1
says, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” This is also your
heritage in Christ. You can't be judged anymore. This makes you a master over
life and circumstances. Luke 10:19 says nothing shall by any means hurt you;
that means you’re impregnable to everything and anything that the enemy can
conceive or concoct against you, physical or spiritual. Thus, it’s impossible
to defeat you.
Isaiah 43:2
says, “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through
the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire,
thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” Could it
get any better than this? What a life we have in Christ! Keep going upward and
forward, for the Lord is your refuge and your fortress. He's our salvation and
deliverer from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
No wonder
He says, “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow
that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for
the destruction that waste that noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and
ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with
thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou
hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy
dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all
thy ways” (Psalm 91:5-11). Glory to His Name forever!
PRAYER
Dear
Father, I thank you for my heritage in Christ; divine protection is mine. No
weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me
in judgment, I condemn. My life is a manifestation of the Word; therefore,
victory is mine, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Psalm 149:5-9 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.

Luke
10:18-19 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over
all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
