READ: ZECHARIAH 2:1-5
We must constantly pray for the Holy Spirit to
continue to teach and enlighten us spiritually concerning the mystery of divine
protection. There is an invisible hedge of protection around every child of
God. You don’t have to be a man of God to enjoy divine protection. For example,
when a house is protected, even the youngest baby is secure. God has built an
impenetrable wall of protection around every member of the household of faith.
This protection is our bonafide right. In Zechariah 2:4-5, the Bible says: “Who
said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem shall be inhabited
as towns without walls, because the multitude of men and livestock in it. For
I, says the LORD, will be a wall of fire all around her and I will be the glory
in her midst.” The Lord says He will prosper Jerusalem and, unlike
other cities of the olden days, there would be no wall built around it for protection.
What would surround the city is the fire of God. It was this type of hedge
built round Job that made Satan to ask for permission before he could attack
him (Job 1:8-10). There is a hedge round about us too if we fear the Lord and
live the life of holiness. You may not see this wall of fire but it is there.
The devil confessed that he tried to get Job but he could not because God had
made a hedge round about him. In Isaiah 41:1-16, the Almighty says a lot of
things: That, He can help us to stand, and that those who try to move us from
where He has placed us would be shamed and confounded and we would seek them
and not find them. He says He would hold us by His right hand and help us. The
only thing that God asks from us to establish us forever is recorded in Isaiah
1:19: “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.”
Also, if you are willing and obedient, you will get to Heaven. Whatever the
enemy may be doing to get you off track will surely fail because God will help
you. Do not be afraid.
MEMORIZE: ISAIAH 1:19 -If you are
willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.
