DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
Thursday, December 5, 2019
- International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development & World Soil Day
TOPIC: ANGELS OF PROTECTION AND EMPOWERMENT
Read Mark 1:9-13
9. And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11. And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12. And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
13. And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
MEMORISE: And He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him (Mk. 1:13)
EXPOSITION
The temptation of our Lord Jesus Christ is a common story in the Bible, but the circumstances surrounding His fasting and prayers and the role of angels there, are not often considered. Today, you will be recognised for good by your generation, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was in the wilderness for fasting, forty days and forty nights. Imagine you alone in a thick jungle for prayer and fasting with no relatives around you to attend to your human needs, but only surrounded by wild animals.
Imagine a vulture hovering over you because of lack of strength, thinking that you will give up and your body becomes its ready prey. Jesus Christ was in the same shoes in the wilderness, alone.
However, the Word of God says, '...and the angels ministered to Him'. What were they doing? They were protecting Him. They were killing the animals that tried to threaten Him. They were hovering over Him day and night, until the forty days and forty nights were complete. May swords of the angels of God destroy any demonic animal surrounding your family and business today, in Jesus' name.
There are satanic wild beasts that have besieged many homes - strange women and men, financial distress and economic recession, joblessness, barrenness, sickness and nightmares sponsored by demonic wild beasts. They are waiting for you to ask God to command your angels to destroy them. The angels surrounding Jesus Christ were protecting and strengthening Him. They can do the same for you, today. Do you believe this? Go ahead and enjoy the angelic protections, henceforth!
PRAYER POINTS
1. Oh my destiny, you are protected by the authority of God in the name of Jesus.
2. I am protected against all demonic wild beasts of life, in Jesus' name.
3. Father, protect our nation from territorial demons and principalities, in the name of Jesus.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Eze. 38:19 - 40:29; 2 Pet. 3:12 - 3:18; 1 Joh. 1:1 - 2:4
