Psalm 91:7, “A Thousand shall fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not come near you.”
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The word of God is taken from the book of Psalm 91:7, “A Thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not come near you.”
What does this verse mean? If any destruction surrounds you on all sides, in front of you, behind you and at your sides, such destruction will not come near you. What must you do to safeguard yourself from destruction? This is what the Lord wants to tell you through this message. The Bible says, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Highest shall abide under the shadow, of the Almighty”. Whatever destruction may come, and many perish but you shall be safe, if you abide under the shadow of the Almighty. If you remain under the coverage of God, then such destruction will not enter your homes or it will not enter your family. The Bible says God is a shade of protection. Just as the shade follows behind us, God follows you everywhere you go like a shade.
My dear children of God, Under the Almighty shade of God there is protection, good counselling and there are blessings too. If you leave Him then you will miss on these, and you will fall into destruction. We can see in the Bible, that David admonishes his son, Solomon, saying, “If you seek God He will be found”. But if you fail to seek God then He too will leave you. So, we need to search for God every day of our life. We need to search for His kingdom, and His righteousness, then all these things will be added unto you. You need to check for yourself if God is with you or not.
We see how God left Samson even without his knowledge, because of his evil behaviour. Samson revealed the secret to the source of his strength to Delilah, after putting Samson to sleep she called a Philistine man and shaved of Samson’s hair, because of this God had departed from him as he revealed the secret. Delilah decieved and betrayed him. When the Philistines charged at him, and he could not fight against them as he had lost all his strength and Samson realized that God had left him.With God, he emerged powerful. But without God, he proved a failure. He who was known for his strength now appeared as a weak man. Nowadays, we see a lot of destruction surrounding us. Destruction attacks us in many forms. Therefore, what we need to do is protect ourselves under the shade of God. We should hide in the presence of God all the time. Then you shall be safe from destruction. Dedicate your home into the hand of God, to be like small heaven.
PRAYER: Our loving heavenly Father, as you said in your word today that Psalm 91:7, “A Thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not come near you”. We claim it in Jesus Name in our life. I submit my children under the shade of the Almighty. Let their homes, family, children and the house in which they dwell, be well protected from all dangers and harm. Let them live a peaceful life on this earth. Let many good things happen in their homes. Take charge of all things and lead them safely. Let them stay safe under the shade of your wings, I submit them to you. Let their homes and families be like a small heaven.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
