TOPIC: SHIELDED BY HIS FIRE

MEMORISE

Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee. - (Deuteronomy 9:3)

READ: Exodus 14:19-24 (KJV)

19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:

20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,

MESSAGE

For our God is a consuming fire. - (Hebrews 12:29)

There is something you need to understand about fire: whenever it touches anything, it transforms that thing into itself. If it touches a piece of cloth and it begins to burn, that piece of cloth will be said to have caught fire. Also, if it comes in contact with wood, it will ignite the wood, and that wood is then referred to as firewood. Similarly, anyone who is a child of God, the Consuming Fire, is automatically shielded by His fire. In Zechariah 2:5, the Bible says, "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."

In Judges 15:14-15, Samson was bound with ropes and was presented before his enemies. His enemies thought that they had already subdued him; however, the fire of God came upon him mightily, and the ropes were burnt. The Bible tells us that he killed a thousand of them thereafter. Beloved, I decree today that the Consuming Fire will deal with whoever might be trying to put you in any form of bondage, in Jesus' name.

Daniel 3:1-30 is a well-known story of how Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were cast into the fiery furnace because they refused to bow down to worship the king's golden image. The fire was so hot that it killed those who threw them in it. However, because God was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, only the ropes that were used to bind them were burnt; the Consuming Fire shielded them from the fire, and they came out of it unhurt.

I remember the testimony of one of my sons, who partook of the Holy Communion during one of the Holy Ghost Services. Before then, doctors had been struggling to identify what was causing him pain inside his throat. However, after partaking of the Holy Communion, the Consuming Fire dealt with what was causing him pain, and he was completely healed. I decree that whatever my Father has not planted in your body will be uprooted and consumed by fire, in Jesus' name.

In today's Bible reading, we see that while the Consuming Fire was a light and a shield to the Israelites, it was a terror to the Egyptians. Beloved, if you want to be shielded by the Consuming Fire and not consumed by Him, you must belong to His camp. Do you belong to the Lord's camp? 

PRAYER POINT

Father, please be a wall of fire around me and my loved ones, in Jesus' name.

HYMN 19 - ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME

1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee! Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure; Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

2. Not the labours of my hands, can fulfill thy law's demands could zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone, thou must save and thou alone.

3. Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to thy cross I cling naked, come to thee for dress, helpless, look to thee fir grace foul to the fountain fly wash me saviour or I die.

4. While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyelids close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see thee on thy judgment throne, rock of ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.

God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: SHIELDED BY HIS WORD

MEMORISE

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. - (Psalm 107:20)

READ: Psalm 84:1-12 (KJV)

1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

MESSAGE

The word of God is a mighty shield that defends us from negative things. Today's memory verse tells us that God's word heals and delivers from destruction. This means that when the enemy wants to destroy you, God will send His word, and His word will shield you from the enemy's attacks.

If you are trusting God for the fruit of the womb, I want you to believe that your testimony is around the corner. This is because God has shielded you from barrenness through His word. In Exodus 23:26, He says:

There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

Also, God shields His children from poverty through His word. (3 John 2) says, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." In other words, no matter how tough and challenging your situation might be at the moment, God's word to you is that you will be healthy and prosperous.

Through His word, God shields His children from lack and hunger. Psalm 23:1 says, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." Through the word of God, you are reassured that the Lord is your shepherd, and with Him, you have everything you need. No need will arise in your life and remain unmet because Jesus, the Good Shepherd, is for you. Psalm 84:11 says that the Lord will not withhold any good thing from those who walk uprightly. God will see to it that before a need arises, there is more than enough provision to meet it. Beloved, I pray that in any area you may be experiencing lack, your eyes will be opened to see God's abundant provisions for you, in Jesus' name.

Another thing that God's word shields believers from is abandonment and loneliness. Jesus said in John 14:18 that He will not leave you comfortless. He also said in Hebrews 13:5 that He will never leave nor forsake you. This means that even if your parents or friends forsake you, He will always be with you.

Beloved, to be shielded by the word of God, you must know what He has said concerning you and truly believe it. A weapon you are ignorant of, or fail to use, cannot benefit you. Therefore, make it your daily practice to meditate on God's word and obey it, for in doing so, you will enjoy His covering at all times. 

KEY POINT

God's word is a shield to those who know and obey  it. 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

TOPIC: SHIELDED BY HIS NAME

MEMORISE

The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; - (Psalm 20:1)

READ: Philippians 2:9-11 (KJV)

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

MESSAGE

Names are very powerful; they reveal many things about a person. For example, if you meet someone who bears the surname of the president of your country, you will be curious to know whether he or she is related to the president or not. When you discover that such a person is related to the president, you will automatically think that he or she is wealthy, influential, and has direct access to the president. This is also what obtains in our relationship with God. When a person is born again, he or she becomes a child of God. Such a person automatically takes on God's name and has unhindered access to Him.

I still remember the first time a Head of State invited me to his home. When I arrived at the first gate, I was asked where I was going, and I replied, "The president asked me to come and see him." The security personnel then checked their records to confirm my invitation. I scaled through the first gate, and when I got to the second gate, I was thoroughly checked. I got to the third gate, and the same check was carried out on me, despite the fact that the personnel at the gate saw that I had been checked at the second gate. When I moved on to the fourth gate, I said, "Oh God, I thank You because I have Jesus. I thank You because anytime I want to talk to You, all I have to say is 'in the name of Jesus." No matter how pressing an issue is, all I need to say is 'in Jesus' name', and God's ears will be open to my cry.

God's name also shields believers from the enemy's attacks. Proverbs 18:10 tells us that: "The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe." In other words, if enemies are pursuing you, you can call on the name of the Lord; His name will become a strong tower around you, and the enemy will not be able to harm you. The Bible says in Psalm 27:1-3 that if your enemies are running after you and are about to catch up, they will stumble and fall. As we see in today's Bible reading, every knee shall bow at the name of Jesus! I decree that the name of the Lord will be your shield, delivering you and your family from every attack of the enemy, in Jesus' name. 

PRAYER POINT

The name of the Lord shields believers from danger and gives them access to the Father. 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

Mark 6 - 7

HYMN 11 - STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST OUR KING

1. Standing on the promises of Christ our King, Thro' eternal ages let His praises ring: Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, Standing on the promises of God. 

CHORUS 

Standing, Standing, 

Standing on the promises of 

God my Saviour Standing, Standing, standing on the promises of God. 

2. Standing on the promises that cannot fail, When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail By the living word of Go I shall prevail, Standing on the promises of God. 

3. Standing on the promises I now can see Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me; Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free, Standing on the promises of God.

4. God. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord, Bound to Him eternally by love's strong cord, Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword, Standing on the promises of God.

God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: SHIELDED BY HIS BLOOD

MEMORISE

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, - (Hebrews 10:19)

READ: EXODUS 12:1-14 (KJV)

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,

2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.

10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's passover.

12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.

13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

MESSAGE

The blood of Jesus is one of the many ways God shields His children. In today's Bible reading, God used the blood of lambs, which was a typology of the blood of Jesus, to save the children of Israel from the plague of death. He said to them, "And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you..." Psalm 116:8 tells us that God delivers our souls from death, our eyes from tears, and our feet from falling. If not for the special shielding of God during the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, many of us would not be here today. Indeed, the blood of Jesus Christ shielded us and delivered our souls from death.

The blood of Jesus Christ also shields us from demonic attacks and grants us victory over the devil and his agents. Revelation 12:11 says, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." We are also shielded from wrath and are justified by the blood of Jesus (Romans 5:9).

The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sins. (1 John 1:7) says, "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." Ephesians 1:7 also tells us that we have redemption and forgiveness of sins through the blood of Jesus Christ. That blood also grants us access to God and gives us the boldness to enter into the holiest, as we see in today's memory verse.

The blood of Jesus also speaks. Hebrews 12:24 says, "And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel." I pray that in the name above all other names, you will experience and enjoy the better things Jesus' blood has spoken and is still speaking on your behalf, in Jesus' name.

Beloved, the blood of Jesus will not speak for you or shield you if you have yet to accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. In order to be saved and shielded by Jesus' blood, you must confess with your mouth that He is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). 

KEY POINT

The blood of Jesus shields believers from evil, gives them access to God, and speaks wonderful things on their behalf.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Mark 4 - 5

HYMN 9 - WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY STAIN?

1.  What can wash away my stain? Nothing but the blood of Jesus; 

What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 

CHORUS 

Oh! precious is the flow 

That makes me white as snow! 

No other fount I know,  . 

Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 

2. For my cleansing this I see,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus; 

For my pardon this my plea,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 

 

3. Nothing can for sin atone, Nothing but the blood of Jesus: Naught of good that I have done, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 

4. This is all my hope and peace. Nothing but the blood of Jesus: His is all my righteousness nothing but the blood of Jesus.

God bless you as you share.
