IT PAYS TO LIVE HOLY II
Memorise: For I, saith the LORD, will be
unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
Zechariah 2:5
Read: Job 1:8-10, Bible in one year: Acts
27:28, Song of Solomon 8:8-14
Everybody in this world wants to secure.
Witchcraft is prospering because people feel insecure and they are looking for
security from any available source. The unfortunate thing is that, looking for
security from the forces of darkness is looking for security from the very
person who wants to destroy you. Those who are living a holy life have the
protection of the Lord Almighty. This is because God has built a hedge around
them. In Job 1:9-10, the Bible tells us that God had put a hedge around Job and
his household. God put a hedge around job because he served Him. Job got into
the predicament that befell him because God wanted to prove a point to Satan.
Around every holy child of God, there is an unseen wall. Satan cannot pass
through this wall because it is made of fire. The Bible in Zechariah 2:5 says,
“For
I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire around about, and will be
the glory in the midst of her.”
Satan knows that he is going to end up
in the Lake of fire. He is therefore not very
anxious to taste this fire yet, so when he sees anybody who is surrounded by
this fire, he keeps his distance.
God has made so many promises to those
that are holy. Psalm 91 contains classical examples of these promises. You cannot
abide in the secret place of the Most High without being holy. Without being
holy, God’s promises cannot be yours. The fire of the Almighty God is so hot
that when it surrounds you, the fire of this world will make way for you to
pass. We have a good example in Daniel 3:24-28, where Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego were put in the fiery furnace. Their experience confirms what the
scripture says concerning the holy in Isaiah 43:2:
“When
thou passed through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers,
they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt
not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”
There is however one thing that can
remove the security covering from you. This is sin. Whenever you sin, you create
a barrier between you and God. It is therefore dangerous to sin, not even for
once because you may not be able to recover from the devastation effect of the
ensuing satanic attack in the course of your backsliding. I pray that your fire
will not go out in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point
Father, whatever will take away your
banner of protection over my life, withholds me from such from now on.
