Psalm 91:1-2 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”

DAILY READING  1 Corinthians 11:1-16; 2 Kings 4; Amos 9

The 1991 Gulf War was one of  the strangest wars in Israel’s war-scarred history.  While Israel was not a participant in this war, the Iraqi government tried hard to draw Israel into it by firing 39 missiles into Israeli cities. Despite this, Israel still did not retaliate and managed to stay out of the Gulf War.

However, quite amazing was the fact that, despite  all the numerous missiles by Iraq, there was not a single Israeli death. In very inexplicable ways God shielded the Jews from the attack; Multiple Iraqi missiles missed their intended targets in Israel and rather landed in the Mediterranean Sea. Two of the missiles launched by Iraq mysteriously disappeared and has never been found. Another missile struck a garbage dump and failed to explode. One missile landed just several feet away from a gas station, which could have caused devastation, but incredibly it also did not explode.  .Another  missile was thrown off course by some inexplicable strong winds. There were other missiles that did hit and did actually explode. One of these exploded between two buildings and completely destroyed both of them, but somehow not a single soul was lost in this strike.

Not everyone realized the magnitude of this miracles until when a single Iraqi missile struck a U.S. marine bunker in Saudi Arabia, and over 40 people were killed. Yet despite all the many missiles that Iraq sent against Israel, not one Israeli life was lost.

In Israel it is strongly believed that their nation exists today only because of God’s promise and covenant with their fathers. Israel as a nation enjoys divine intervention and protection because of God’s commitment to His covenant. Indeed God is a covenant keeping God. When we are in covenant with Him, He shields and protects us.

In these end times, it is vital for every believer to know their covenant of divine protection. Divine protection is one of the redemptive packages in Christ and your covenant right as a Child of God [Col. 3:3].

And as a covenant child, your case is different; ‘a thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand ta your right hand yet it will not come near you..’

Divine protection is yours by covenant, lay claim on it and do not fear what they fear in the world. Fear is a tool for satanic intimidation. Anything you are afraid of, you will become a victim of – [Job 3:25]. Therefore shun fear and embrace faith.

At this time, we must do all we can to strengthen our relationship with God by drawing closer to Him through time spent in  His Word, in prayer and praise.

God has indeed promised that no evil shall befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.  It doesn’t  matter how many times the enemy fires his missiles, God is committed to protecting you. However, one very important truth we must understand is that in every covenant, we have a part to play and God has His part. Psalm 91:1-2, begins with our part: “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”

Verses 3-4 reveal God’s part: “ Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust’.

Therefore to enjoy God’s divine deliverance we must dwell in the secret place of the Most High, which is abiding in God’s Presence. And key to accessing His Presence is praise. Indeed the more we praise God, the more we are surrounded  by His Presence and the more we become untouchable to every evil

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your covenant of divine protection at work in my life. Indeed I know I am exempted from every plague in the world. Please grant me the grace to praise You at all times, so as to maintain Your Presence always around me in Jesus Name. .
