Memorise: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall
abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalms 91:1
Bodyguards
are specially trained security persons who usually protect very important
people wherever they go. They are commonly sighted around government officials
and members of their families. Because moguls, multi-millionaires, mega stars,
and TV personalities enjoy going around with them. As a matter of fact, many
will not be seen in public without their bodyguards because they don’t feel
safe without them. However, bodyguards are limited in power, and the cost of
having them is beyond the reach of the average person. The good news for
Christians is that as we have bodyguards in this world, we also have spiritual
bodyguards. They are automatically appointed to every child of God at the
moment they become born again. They are invisible, they operate at a speed much
faster than the speed of light, they have limitless power, and their services
have been fully paid for through the blood of Jesus. That is why Psalms 91:1
says:
“He
thatn dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the
shadow of the Almighty.”
I once
taught some of my children that when a child is born, what happens to the child
depends on the available support system.
The
stronger the support system, the more fortified that child is for success in
life. Within our Father’s support system are angels. Psalms 91:10-13 says it is
the duty of our Father’s angels to ensure no harm befalls us. The angels are
instructed by God to go with us wherever we go. If the children of kings are
going out, they don’t go alone. If they are going to school, they are
chauffeur-driven, whereas, children of ordinary people trek even through the
woods unaided. From this day, you shall go on angelic rides in Jesus’ name.
There is a
testimony a brother shared concerning his trip by air. He said while airborne,
the first two engines of the plane suddenly stopped. The pilot panicked, saying
that if the third engine follows suit, the plane would crash. Then the third
engine also stopped. The whole place was in pandemonium but this brother who
was seated by the window turned to look through the window on his left and saw
a huge angel smiling at him and whispering to him that he was carrying the
plane. To the surprise of everybody else, the plane landed safely an hour
later at the nearest airport. The brother saw three angels there. Nobody could
explain how they managed to land except this brother. In the Bible, when Daniel
was thrown into the den of lions, an angel went ahead of him and stopped their
mouths. Similarly, when Peter was locked up in prison, an angel came to him,
woke him up and led him out.
Prayer
Point: Father, please don’t let me ever do anything that will drive my
spiritual bodyguards away from me in Jesus’ name.
