DON'T BREAK THE HEDGE (I)

10^TH , AUGUST 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 1:1-17, 1 Corinthians 6, Psalm 94:1-11

FIRE SCRIPTURE:   Job 1:6-12

 

6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and [a]Satan also came among them. 

7 And the Lord said to [b]Satan, “From where do you come?”

So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”

8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you [c]considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and [d]shuns evil?”

9 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 

10 Have You not [e]made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 

11 But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse[f] You to Your face!”

12 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your [g]power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:

I DECREE THAT ANY POWER THE ENEMY HAS ASSIGNED TO BREAK THE HEDGE AROUND YOUR LIFE SHALL DIE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

 

THE MESSAGE:

 

The Bible affirms that there is a hedge of protection put in place by God around every believer. Whether you are aware or this or not, if you are a believer, you have it around you. The purpose of that divine hedge is to shield or protect you from the invasion and attack of the devil and his cohorts (demons and human agents). It is a spiritual guard and covering that ensures your safety. When you have the hedge around you, the enemy will not be able to steal or kill or destroy in your life.

 

However, it is your responsibility to ensure that the hedge remains intact and unbroken. You should learn and do the things that wIll retain, maintain and sustain the hedge. You should also learn and avoid those things that can break the hedge. The truth is that the consequences of a broken hedge are grave.

 

The devil knows that the hedge of God is a mark of "touch not' upon the life of Job. As long as the hedge was intact, Job prospered and his achievements and credentials were both phenomenal and unparalleled in his time. Job himself did not make the mistake that removed his supernatural hedge of protection. It was God that removed it temporarily. The devil told God, "Why won't Job have all these impressive achievements and be devoted to you when you have hedged him round about?

 

When the hedge of protection is in place in your life, the Holy Spirit and God's angels will repel any evil or calamity that the enemy and his cohorts direct your way. You will be miraculously saved from danger and the plans of the enemy for your life will be mysteriously thwarted. Besides, you will dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under His shadow. Day and night, asleep or awake, you will dwell in safety. This honour and privilege are for those who are born again and indwelt by the Spirit of God.

 

Therefore, in case you are not born again, I advise you to give your life to Jesus Christ now. As you make Him your Lord and Saviour, He will put the hedge of protection and wall of fire around you and become the shining glory in your life.

PRAYER POINTS:
