DON'T BREAK THE HEDGE
Text: Ecclesiastes 10:8
By: Adeaga O. Favour
By redemption, every child of God, whether a baby of matured, have been given power that naturally positions them above the devil, all principalities and powers (Luke 10:29). Also, that you are born of God automatically makes you an overcomer (1Jn 5:4), and divinely secured from all attacks (Ps 91).
However, it becomes an aberration when you begin to fear or loose to what should fear or tremble at your presence. And the reason is not farfetched. Pro 28:1 says "The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion." While sin gets you afraid, righteousness emboldens you.
More so, every act of obedience secures your hedge (Job 1:1,10) while disobedience exposes you to the devil's attack. In Exo 15:26, Moses told the Israelites that by the hedge of protection around them, if they obey, none of the sicknesses and diseases that befell the Egyptians would come upon them.
REFLECTION FOR TODAY:
God's responsibility is to secure you but yours is to maintain the security.
PRAY:
Lord, if I have broken the hedge around me in any way, please forgive me and rebuild in Jesus' name.
