Memorise: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalms 91:1
Read; Psalms 91:1-12, 91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

MESSAGE
Bodyguards
are specially trained security persons who usually protect very
important people wherever they go. They are commonly sighted around
government officials and members of their families. Because moguls,
multi-millionaires, mega stars, and TV personalities enjoy going around
with them. As a matter of fact, many will not be seen in public without
their bodyguards because they don’t feel safe without them. However,
bodyguards are limited in power, and the cost of having them is beyond
the reach of the average person. The good news for Christians is that as
we have bodyguards in this world, we also have spiritual bodyguards.
They are automatically appointed to every child of God at the moment
they become born again. They are invisible, they operate at a speed much
faster than the speed of light, they have limitless power, and their
services have been fully paid for through the blood of Jesus. That is
why Psalms 91:1 says:
“He thatn dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
I once taught some of my children that 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. Within our Father’s support system are angels. Psalms
91:10-13 says it is the duty of our Father’s angels to ensure no harm
befalls us. The angels are instructed by God to go with us wherever we
go. If the children of kings are going out, they don’t go alone. If they
are going to school, they are chauffeur-driven, whereas, children of
ordinary people trek even through the woods unaided. From this day, you
shall go on angelic rides in Jesus’ name.
There
is a testimony a brother shared concerning his trip by air. He said
while airborne, the first two engines of the plane suddenly stopped. The
pilot panicked, saying that if the third engine follows suit, the plane
would crash. Then the third engine also stopped. The whole place was in
pandemonium but this brother who was seated by the window turned to
look through the window on his left and saw a huge angel smiling at him
and whispering to him that he was carrying the plane. To the surprise
of everybody else, the plane landed safely an hour later at the nearest
airport. The brother saw three angels there. Nobody could explain how
they managed to land except this brother. In the Bible, when Daniel was
thrown into the den of lions, an angel went ahead of him and stopped
their mouths. Similarly, when Peter was locked up in prison, an angel
came to him, woke him up and led him out.
Prayer Point
Father, please don’t let me ever do anything that will drive my spiritual bodyguards away from me in Jesus’ name.
