Meditate on: Psalms 91:11 GNT
« God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go. »
Read: Psalm 91:1-13
1 The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say concerning the Lord, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust:
3 He himself will rescue you from the bird trap, from the destructive plague.
4 He will cover you with his feathers; you will take refuge under his wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night, the arrow that flies by day,
6 the plague that stalks in darkness, or the pestilence that ravages at noon.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, the pestilence will not reach you.
8 You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord—my refuge, the Most High—your dwelling place,
10 no harm will come to you; no plague will come near your tent.
11 For he will give his angels orders concerning you, to protect you in all your ways.
12 They will support you with their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the young lion and the serpent.
Understand
Bodyguards are security personnel specially trained to protect wealthy and powerful individuals.
They are usually found around very important personalities and their family members. As a matter of fact, some people are not seen in public without bodyguards because they don’t feel safe without them.
Nevertheless, human bodyguards are limited in power, and the cost of having them is beyond the reach of the average person.
However, the good news for Christians in that we have bodyguards in this world, of the spiritual kind, who are automatically appointed to every child of God the moment we become born again.
Unlimited in power, they are invincible and operate at a speed much faster than the speed of light.
The most amazing thing about our bodyguards is that their services have been fully paid for with the Blood of Jesus.
That is why Hebrews 1:14 says:
« Are not all angels ministering spirits, sent to serve & protect those who will inherit salvation? »
When a child is born, what happens to the child depends on the available support system. The stronger the support system. The more fortified that child is for success in life. Princes and princesses benefit from the services of royal servants.
As children of God, our Father has provided angels as part of our support system.
Psalm 91:10-13 says it is the duty of our Father’s angels to ensure that no harm befalls us. Angels are therefore our personal bodyguards, who go with us wherever we go.
When the children of kings go out, they are taken in chauffeur-driven cars, whereas the children of ordinary people trek even through the woods or bush paths without any form of protection.
From this day onward, be conscious of and utilize the angelic protection you have around you.
A brother shared a testimony about a flight he was on. He said while airborne, the first two engines of their plan suddenly failed. In panic, their pilot told them that the plane would crash if the third engine also failed, and pandemonium broke out in the plane. All the while, this brother was sitting by the window, He turned to his gaze to look out, and he saw a huge angel who smiled at him and whispered to him that he was carrying the plane. To the surprise of everyone else, the plane safely landed an hour later at the nearest airport. Nobody could explain how they managed to land except this brother. He said if he had told them what happened, they would not have believed him.
In the Bible, when Daniel was thrown into the den of lions, an angel went ahead of him to shut the lion’s mouth (Daniel 6:22).
This season, you also shall receive the full complement of your heavenly Father’s support system, in Jesus’ Name.
Application: Commit your family members into God’s hands, asking that His angels will stand guard over them.
