DIVINE SECURITY

II Kings 6:8-23

“Don’t be afraid “, the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them”. And Elisha prayed “O LORD, open his eyes so that he may see”. Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. (Verse 16-17)

As Christians we most time do not really know our worth both in physical and spiritual wise. My sister once shared a testimony of her maids’ confession. "My maid said she was possessed with evil spirit and was sent to either break my marriage or to kill me but in her words she said “any time I enter your room to execute my part of the plan especially when you are asleep at night fire comes from your belly and burn me and my cohorts waiting for me outside your room. We try to know the source of the fire all to discover that it was a resultant effect of God’s divine protection upon your life”

God has given us authority over principalities and power when he said ‘No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you, Isaiah 54:17 CEV, They lost heart; they come trembling from their stronghold Psalm18:45, The LORD will grant that the enemies who raise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven. Deut 28:7. God’s plan for man is not destruction but divine direction and life eternal.

      Whenever problem comes our way, we are to call up to God as recorded in Jeremiah 33:3. We are his heir and an heir has free access to his/her father’s presence and servants without inhibition. It is worthy of note that God’s angels are always at your command, do not let the problem worry you but you are to worry your problems. Bishop David Abioye once said “everybody trembles before a king, but no matter how kingly the king is, when his children appears before him there is cheerfulness. Every recruit must carry a stone face before the general or his superior officer, but when the general gets home, he knows his children and he puts a smile on his face.

God is God to all creatures, but He is Father to us and we are His own children. I’d like to help you see the difference between relating with God as God and relating with Him as your Father.
If for instance you receive news at 11 a.m. that there has been some tragedy in your child’s school and as you are on your way rushing to get there, your neighbor is frantically saying to you, 'Remember my child also o!? You will tell him, ‘I have heard.’ Now, no matter how kind you are, when you get to the scene and you find over one hundred children crying for help, I tell you, you cannot but recognize the voice of your own child. And as soon you hear his cry, you will dive into the place and rescue him first. It is after you have gotten your child to safety, as you about going, then you suddenly remember your neighbor’s child, and if danger has not engulfed the place, you go back and get him out, but before then, your child first. That is how you also are on God’s priority list because He is your Father. He said, A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee? (Ps 91:7). God would rather allow eleven thousand others to die in your place than let evil come near you”.

PRAYER:  Thank you Lord for greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world (AMEN).
