Divine Security: 7 Steps You Should Follow to Enjoy Protection!

Divine Security: 7 Steps You Should Follow to Enjoy Protection!

Divine security is the intervention of Almighty GOD to ensure you are safe when you are in danger or during your relaxed mood. The earth is not safe anymore; no country is free of insecurity or danger. So, you need the divine security of the LORD to survive every moment.

I will never forget the day four evil boys with sophisticated rifles shot bullets into the non-bulletproof vehicle at close range, but the LORD shielded us with His mighty power. They were amazed that no one in the vehicle was killed but the car was badly damaged…Today’s message will explain the actions you ought to do to enjoy divine security.

10 Common Misconceptions About Divine Security

Please, do not get confused about the principles guiding divine protection of the LORD. The Almighty Jehovah is unquestionable but be careful of the following misconceptions:

1. Divine security means no suffering or hardship

2. Only perfect Christians receive divine security

3. Divine security eliminates personal responsibility

4. Angels will always prevent physical harm

5. God’s protection is automatic without faith or prayer

6. Material wealth equals divine security

7. Divine security means no spiritual attacks

8. God’s protection is limited to physical safety

9. Once saved, no effort is needed for protection

10. Divine security means immediate answers to prayers

The points above are not genuine but kindly follow the power steps below to enjoy the unique spiritual relationship with the LORD.

7 Active Roles for Christians to Experience Divine Security

1. Have Faith in the Power of Jehovah

Calling the name of Jesus but putting your faith in handkerchief, oil or charms won’t give you the kind of divine protection you want.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

For instance, despite Daniel facing persecution for his faith, he trusted the LORD entirely. His unwavering faith led God to shut the mouths of the lions, demonstrating that divine security is guaranteed for you if you rely wholly on the LORD. (Daniel 6:16-23)

2. Live a Holy Life

You will enjoy a high level of divine security if your lifestyle is controlled by righteousness.

Psalm 5 verse 12 says, “For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.”

Job is a powerful example of God’s favor upon the righteous (Job 1:8-10). Although Satan sought to attack Job, he acknowledged that God had placed a hedge of protection around him because of his righteousness. So, living a holy life attracts divine protection for you and your family.

3. Study and Apply God’s Word

I boldly tell you that the Word of God is a shield against the enemy’s attacks. Let the word of God fill your heart always and not with things of this world.

Psalm 119 verse 105 says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

Jesus Himself demonstrated this principle when He overcame the devil’s temptations in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). By responding with Scripture, He defeated Satan’s schemes, showing that the Word of God is a defense against evil attacks.

4. Abide in God’s Presence through Prayers/Thanksgiving

I remember when the devil came to attack me for exposing his secrets, I didn’t sit to negotiate with him, but I prayed to the Almighty GOD who rescued me. The level of spiritual protection you can receive through praising GOD can never be quantified!

A prayerless Christian is like an empty box that can be crushed easily by the enemies. Prayers keep you connected to the divine safety of the LORD.

5. You Must Obey God’s Commands Consistently

Disobedience can open doors to danger, but obedience will keep you under God’s covering.

“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.” (It is interesting you read Deuteronomy chapter 28)

Obedience to the instructions of Jesus Christ is the key to divine security! An example is Noah’s obedience which preserved his family during the flood (Genesis 6:13-22).

6. Put on the Full Armor of GOD

To enjoy divine protection always put on the following armor: helmet of salvation, sword of the Spirit, shield of faith and breastplate of righteousness.

“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:11)

7. Acknowledge the Holy Spirit as Your Commander

The Holy Spirit guides and warns us of dangers, both seen and unseen. So, always be attentive to the voice of GOD when HE speaks to you.

Jesus says: “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” (John 16:13)

 

Follow the steps above and you will enjoy divine security from the LORD.

May the LORD continue to protect us physically and spiritually in Jesus name.

Heart of Flesh: 10 Ways You Can Connect Your Heart to GOD

Heart of Flesh: 10 Ways You Can Connect Your Heart to GOD

The greatest power on earth is ability to connect to GOD and you can only achieve this through the heart of flesh. Heart of stone connects to the devil while heart of flesh connects to the Almighty LORD.

If you are wondering about the difference, the heart of stone is controlled by sin while the heart of flesh is controlled by holiness and the LORD wants you to have a heart of flesh so that you can dwell in His peaceful kingdom forever.

The LORD said to me in a vision: “Preach to the people! I will surely forgive the sins of anyone who is ready to do MY will. No matter the weight of such iniquity I will forgive!”

7 Ways to Have a Transformed Heart of Flesh

It took me many months under the direct spiritual training of the Holy Spirit to complete the transformation process. So, the transformation of a heart of stone to heart of flesh is for the disciplined Christians and not for the lazy ones.

Many people can’t go through the rigor involved and that is the reason they come up with different false teachings telling you that God is love and never cares about your sinful lifestyle. They told you to bring money to the church for cleansing of your sins and many other “pleasing” doctrines. Please run away from such false doctrines and follow the steps below.

1. Practice Repentance and Humility

It is impossible for an active sinner to have a heart of flesh so, let go of all the lifestyles that contradict the will of GOD.

2. Engage in Deep Bible Study

Read books that record the direct encounter of GOD with people, the books of the prophets and the Gospel of Jesus. It will guide you to know the directions the LORD wants you to follow.

3. High Frequency of Communication

Your regular worship time in the presence of God is a powerful event for your transformation. This has nothing to do with attending church activities but frequently praying and worshipping GOD in your private venue. The LORD will reveal many things to you directly.

4. Surrender Completely to GOD

A hardened heart resists, but a heart of flesh trusts fully in God’s plan. Let go of control and allow Him to shape your desires and actions.

5. Obedience to the Holy Spirit

At the stage of your sincere repentance the Holy Spirit will test your sincerity and once you pass, the transformation sets in. The completion of this process is determined by your faithfulness and obedience to every instruction of the Holy Spirit.

6. Shed Your Heavy Loads

Heavy loads are ‘idols’ you cherish so much. Discard all fetish items, stay away from churches involved in materialism (use of items such as soap, candles, handkerchief, oil, water as medium for prayers). Stay away from worldly friends who are not ready to join you on the spiritual journey.

7. Witness the Gospel

This final stage will build your boldness to attack the kingdom of darkness and through the power of the LORD you will be victorious every day. Use Artificial Intelligence technology to spread the Good News of God’s Power of Salvation to people.

What is Heart of Stone and its Spiritual Implications?

What is Heart of Stone and its Spiritual Implications?

“Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God.” (Hebrews 3:7-12)

3 Major Causes of Having a Heart of Stone

It is not the will of GOD for anyone to have a heart of stone, but the following causes are cogent:

1. Misuse of your power of choice

If you ever wonder if God who is omnipresent saw Eve when she plucked the forbidden fruit to eat, yes, HE did but HE will never abuse the power choice embedded in our creation. If you choose to disobey the commandments of the LORD, then it will lead to a stony heart.

2. Losing your ‘birthright’ to the Devil

If you are not sensitive to the offers from the Devil it can put you in a rebellious condition with the LORD. Watch out for things to embrace in the culture of the land. Don’t allow money, food, parties, and the technology related to generative artificial intelligence to make you forget about the Holy Spirit.

3. Unreadiness to be Disciplined by the Holy Spirit

If you do not want to go through the physical, spiritual and emotional training instructed by Jesus Christ then it is a big cause that leads to a heart of stone.

Many people are in the Christian fold in this generation but only few are ready for the tough training that can sharpen them to become genuine children of GOD!   

10 Major Signs of Someone with a Heart of Stone

1. Always giving excuses for doing wrong and won’t accept responsibility

2. Very impatient to listen to righteous sermons

3. Does not want to be under the control of divine instructions

4. People with a heart of stone are so confident in their own thoughtful will

5. Dislikes corrections and hates to be disciplined

6. Selfish and takes advantage of the vulnerable ones

8. Their prayer time is to ask God for their desires only and not to worship the Creator.

9. The heart of stone loves the abominable culture of this world and enjoys sins.

10. They always claim to be highly knowledgeable, full of authority and spread false teachings.

 The signs above are flashlights for you to search deep. Many years ago, when the LORD gave me a deep understanding of this topic, I was shocked that despite my status as a Christian and devoted church goer I am guilty. Conversion from heart of stone to heart of flesh requires devoted spiritual training directly from the LORD.

Please, if you discover any of the signs above then quickly kneel in your room and invite the LORD for ‘spiritual disciplinary sessions’ so that you can escape the implications below.

10 Implications of Possessing a Heart of Stone

1. Separation from the LORD

2. Always under the bondage of sin and commit plenty of errors

9. A heart of stone can never enjoy the beauty of Agape Love

10. It is impossible to dwell with GOD in heaven for eternal enjoyment.

20 Unbeatable Importance of Family to GOD

20 Unbeatable Importance of Family to GOD

Importance of family to God is so crucial because it is the first institution on earth. But developments in marriage since the middle of the 20th century show that in many nations, marriages are becoming less common. Youths marry later, unmarried couples are increasingly choosing to live together, and many are involved in single parenthood.

This trend is heartbreaking because it violates the importance of family, and it is the cause of disunity and insecurity in the society. Please, let us stand against the abomination of same-sex marriage introduced into the church. Today’s message throws more light about importance of family to God and your role as a Christian to fulfil God’s desire.

The love shared within families reflects God’s unconditional love for His children. Ephesians 5:25 compares a husband’s love for his wife to Christ’s love for the Church.

Family is where faith is nurtured. Proverbs chapter 22 verse 6 says: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”

4. The Source of Spiritual Heritage

Through families, faith is passed down. Paul writes to Timothy in Second letter to Timothy chapter 1 verse 5 about the “sincere faith” of his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice.

5. A Place of Unity

Psalm 133 verse 1 declares, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.” God designed the importance of family to sustain unity on earth.

Exodus chapter 20 verse12 says: “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” This commandment highlights the importance of familial respect.

11. Symbolic of God’s Kingdom

The family structure mirrors God’s kingdom, with roles that reflect His divine order (Ephesians 6:1-4).

12. Christian Family is a Safe Haven

Families provide shelter and protection, demonstrating God’s care. Proverbs 14:26 says, “Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.”

16. Family is Source of Joy

Proverbs chapter 17 verse 6 says, “Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.” Families are a source of joy and pride.

17. An Example of Service

Families teach selflessness and service, echoing Christ’s servant heart (Philippians 2:3-4).

18. A Place for Prayer

Families gather to seek God together at the family altar, as Jesus assures in Matthew chapter 18 verse 20, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

19. A Reminder of God’s Fatherhood

Earthly families help us understand God as our loving Father, as described in Romans 8:15.

20. A Legacy of Faith

Psalm 145:4 declares, “One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.” Families are stewards of God’s legacy.

2. Prioritize Love and Unity: Show love and respect to one another daily. This could involve speaking kind words, offering encouragement, and resolving conflicts promptly.

3. Lead by Example: Parents can model Christ-like behavior in their actions and decisions. Children often learn more from what they see than what they hear.

4. Teach Forgiveness: Your family should practice forgiving one another, even when it’s hard. Open communication about forgiveness fosters healing and growth.

5. Build a Supportive Environment: Encourage your family members to pursue their God-given talents and dreams while offering help and guidance during challenges.

Proverbs chapter 11 verse 2 says: “When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.”
