He Shall Give His Angels Charge Over Thee
Psalms 91:11 (NKJV)For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. When Amara sleepwalked into the street at night as a little girl, she did not know that she was protected from danger that night by mighty angels. She got to know about this much later in her life when the sorcerer who had been monitoring her family to harm them confessed to her. He was now a Christian and he told her how they planned to kill her that night, but there were certain powerful angels protecting her. Angelic protection is more reliable than the best human security arrangement. Yet many times Christians take this for granted and do not take full advantage of it through faith. I remember the story of a celebrated American war hero who would never be killed in the harshest of battles. His fellow soldiers couldn’t understand his secret, he was simply fearless. He later told them that he was safer in the battlefield when in the center of God’s will than in the safest bunker when outside of God’s will. That was his reality. It was clear that he enjoyed angelic help. Many do not have faith in the protective power of God over them. For some it is because they are not sure they are walking in God’s will, for others, it is because they have not been properly taught. Walking in God’s will is made easy when you live in fellowship with God through His Spirit and let His word rule your life. Go Into today expecting to be protected by God’s mighty angels. Jesus has paid for this. Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you walk in His perfect will at all times. —Abraham Damilola Arigi Bible in 1 Year: Proverbs 5-6 If you wish to start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio early every day, Send us a message or Click here to join a Streamglobe WhatsApp Group☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/FF0paY813vZGyJisZ1s9Rr Send WhatsApp message to: +2348034420524, +2348138224547 (send Testimonies and Inquiries here too) http://listen.streamglobe.org/Devotional%20Audio%202599.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download ()Subscribe: RSS
Take up the helmet of salvation
Ephesians 6:17 (NET) And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. How do we take the helmet of salvation? From time to time, some evil thoughts would come to Grace’s mind to make her doubt her salvation. “Are you sure you’re truly born again? Are you sure you’re ready for the coming of the Lord?” These thoughts would throw her into restlessness to the point where she would start confessing the sins she had long repented of. Because of this that kept happening to her, she lived under a cloud of condemnation and was not confident enough to serve the Lord the way she ought to. She learned how to take up the helmet of salvation when she attended a conference and the teacher explained that her salvation was not her idea but God’s plan from the foundation of the world. She was also made to understand that God wants her saved more than she wants to be saved. The teacher now went on to explain how the fruits of a tree are the surest way to identify the tree. For the first time, she was made to understand this verse: 1 John 3:18-19 (NET) Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue but in deed and truth. And by this we will know that we are of the truth and will convince our conscience in his presence. 1 John 4:7-8 reveals to us that it is only those who have been born of God that can walk in [unselfish] love. One of the biggest proofs we have to show that we are truly saved and belong to God is that we bear the fruit of love. Unselfish love is that kind of love that is not propelled by what we can get but is inspired by the desire to give and be a blessing. Go into today remembering that the way you will know for sure that you’re of the truth, and convince your conscience in His presence that you belong to God and have His nature is when your life bears the fruit of love. This is a sure way to take up the helmet of salvation and guard your mind against the accusations of satan. Prayer: Lord, help me walk in your nature of love and properly represent you in this world. Amen. —Abraham Damilola Arigi Bible in 1 Year: Psalms 72-74 If you wish to start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio early every day, Send us a message or Click here to join a Streamglobe WhatsApp Group☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/FF0paY813vZGyJisZ1s9Rr Send WhatsApp message to: +2348034420524, +2348138224547 (send Testimonies and Inquiries here too) Click here for the Audio Version: https://bit.ly/aud2598 http://listen.streamglobe.org/Devotional%20Audio%202598.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download ()Subscribe: RSS
