Psalm 91:4b says ‘Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day.
• DAILY READING – 2 Corinthians 2:5-3:18; 2 Kings 15-16; Micah 5:2-15
Wars are constantly being fought in one place or the other in the world. Already the world has seen two major world wars where over 70 million lives were lost. Even now there are still many ongoing conflicts in different nations of the world. Though wars seem to be rampant on the earth, what is happening physically is simply a reflection of what is going on spiritually.
Both spiritually and physically, there are wars going on in the world. Everyday spiritually, there are darts flying up and down in every direction.
While the physical battles have specific locations and specific people involved in it, the spiritual battle has no specific location, it is being fought everywhere on all fronts, and everyone is involved. But in this battles God has promised protection to His children. Indeed, no weapon formed against you shall ever prosper.
Psalm 91:4 says ‘Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day.
Though these arrows are flying God is saying we should not be afraid of them, because we are under divine cover.
Arrows fly by day, in form of evil manipulations, incarnations, and enchantments. Psalm 64:3 says ‘Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:’
From this scripture we find that, bitter words, evil words are shot forth as arrows. This is why we must daily take up the shield of faith, to quench any of these fiery dart of the wicked.
Ephesians 6 says above all taking the shield of faith wherewith you shall quench darts of the wicked.
The shield of Faith is formed by surrounding ourselves with the Word of God. We must always fill our heart with the Word, and confess it with our mouth.
Life is essentially a battle of words. The stronger the words you speak, the more you dominate over the enemy. The Word of God is quick and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword. And it is by God’s Word that we dominate over negative situations and circumstances that challenge us.
To be victorious in life’s battles you must learn to speak to your mountains. A closed mouth is a closed destiny. That is why you must rise up vehemently against stagnation, sickness or any other anti-covenant thing that is trying to hang around you. The enemy is shooting forth arrow of words, you can’t afford to keep silent. Release The Word of God against the things fighting your destiny. Stop watching situations silently. It is time to begin to speak. Speak God’s Word to silence every spiritual opposition. Never forget that it is when the strangers hear your voice that they will fade out of their close places. So arise and begin to declare the counsel of God over you, And as you do, every tongue that rises against you, shall surely be condemned in Jesus Name.
PRAYER Lord help me to speak Your Word boldly against the things fighting my destiny. In this season, may I never lose out through a closed mouth. By Your Word I have the victory in Jesus Name.
