SPIRITUAL BODYGUARDS
Memorise: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under
the shadow of the Almighty. Psalms 91:1
Read; Psalms 91:1-12, 91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will
say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I
trust.
3 Surely
he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome
pestilence.
4 He
shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his
truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou
shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by
day;
6 Nor
for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that
wasteth at noonday.
7 A
thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it
shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only
with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because
thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There
shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he
shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They
shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Bible in one year: 1st Kings 15:33-17:24, Proverbs
18:15-19:4
MESSAGE
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.
