Memorise: For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of
fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. Zechariah 2:5
Read: Job 1:8-10
8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my
servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright
man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? 9 Then Satan answered the LORD,
and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 10 Hast not thou made an hedge about
him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast
blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land...
Message
Everybody in this world wants to be secure. Witchcraft is
prospering because people feel insecure and they are looking for security from
any available source. The unfortunate thing is that, looking for security from
the forces of darkness is looking for security from the very person who wants
to destroy you. Those who are living a holy life have the protection of the
Lord Almighty. This is because God has built a hedge around them. In Job
1:9-10, the Bible tells us that God had put a hedge around Job and his
household. God put a hedge around Job because he served Him. Job got into the
predicament that befell him because God wanted to prove a point to Satan.
Around every holy child of God, there is an unseen wall. Satan cannot pass
through this wall because it is made of fire. The Bible in Zechariah 2:5 says,
“For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.”
Satan knows that he is going to end up in the
God has made so many promises to those that are holy. Psalm
91 contains classical examples of these promises. You cannot abide in the
secret place of the Most High without being holy. Without being holy, God’s
promises cannot be yours. The fire of the Almighty God is so hot that when it
surrounds you, the fire of this world will make way for you to pass. We have a
good example in Daniel 3:24-28, where Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were put
in the fiery furnace. Their experience confirms what the scripture says
concerning the holy in Isaiah 43:2:
“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.”
There is however one thing that can remove the security
covering from you. This is sin. Whenever you sin, you create a barrier between
you and God. It is therefore dangerous to sin, not even for once because you
may not be able to recover from the devastating effect of the ensuing satanic
attack in the course of your backsliding. I pray that your fire will not go out
in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point: Father, whatever will take away your banner of
protection over my life, withhold me from such from now on.
