READ: PSALM
91:1-16
“Behold, I send you
forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be you therefore wise as serpents and
harmless as doves.” (Matthew 10:16).
When you become an instrument in God’s hands to honour him, you automatically become an enemy of Satan. He would be only too glad to finish you off. As you serve the Lord with all your strength, you become a target of the satanic kingdom. But even though Satan and his cohorts will fight against you, they will never prevail over you.
A man who had belonged to several cults and who had served the devil, was converted and began to preach Christ and to expose the futility of the devil’s kingdom. His former colleagues did not take kindly to this. One day he was on his way to preach a sermon when the bus on which he was travelling was attacked. There was a terrible accident, and several lives were lost, but he was supernaturally transported out of the bus and found himself unharmed some distance away from the accident scene. He praised God in a loud voice.
Another time this man was visiting one of the village markets commonly found by the roadside. The wicked one manipulated an oncoming lorry and caused the driver to lose control. The lorry veered off the road towards the man, destroying several stalls and killing several people. Again the man was supernaturally kept out of harm’s way.
God is our chief security officer. If he looks after you, no one can harm you. If he doesn’t, all the gadgets, security measures and police escorts in the world won’t do you any good. Serve God fearlessly and count on him to protect you against any evil that may befall you.
