God’s Angel - Bro. T. Stephen

I greet and bless you all in the matchless name of our maker and creator Jesus Christ who will never forget us. The blessed word for today is from Exodus 23:20, “Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.”(Exodus 23:20).

Jacob had a vision of “The Angel”. When he was returning with two camps of people, he was terrified of meeting his brother Esau as he had usurped his birth right from him. Jacob sent messengers before him with droves of animals as gifts to Esau, before meeting him with his wives and children (Genesis 32:13-18). And he took his wives, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the river of Jabbok. When Jacob was left alone a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day (Genesis 32:24-28). Knowing fully well that it was “The Angel”(Jesus) who wrestled with him at this midnight hour, Jacob held on to Him firmly and cried. The Bible says:

“Yes, he struggled with the Angel and prevailed; he wept and sought favour from Him. He found Him in Bethel, and there He spoke to us— That is, the Lord God of hosts. The Lord is His memorable name” (Hosea 12:4,5).

Jacob wrestled with “The Angel” to receive the blessing before going to meet Esau. Enmity between the brothers vanished and was replaced by brotherly love. Esau embraced and kissed Jacob (Genesis 33:4).

This day God is sending His angels to bless your household.  Do not be worried. God will bless you.

Prayer:   Our   loving    heavenly Father,   we thank You for this blessed day. We seek your kind guidance and protection in all our endeavors . Let your presence go before us. As you blessed Jacob, bless us too.

In Jesus name we pray,

Amen.
