The book Thirty Years Among South Sea Cannibals tells the gripping story of Scottish missionary John Gibson Paton, who served among the hostile tribes of the South Sea islands. Many native chiefs viewed him as a threat to their ancestral customs and resisted his message fiercely. Paton often faced life-threatening dangers in his quest to bring the gospel to the islands.
One day, while working on the mission station grounds, Paton was suddenly surrounded by a war chief and a group of armed men. Each man raised a musket and aimed it directly at his head. Death seemed certain. But Paton, instead of panicking, looked to Jesus in prayer. As he prayed, the words of Jesus in John 14:13 rose strongly in his spirit: “Whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, I will do it.” Strengthened by this divine assurance, he returned to his task calmly, as though no danger surrounded him.
The armed men, though fully prepared to kill, were mysteriously restrained. None could fire. After moments of hesitation and confusion, they all quietly walked away. Paton praised God, who again proved Himself faithful. Throughout his many years among the tribes, God continually and miraculously preserved his life.
There are fiery Heavenly security and divine forces surrounding children of God upon the earth.
God is our ever present help in times of trouble. He has warrior angels on standby to protect us and ensure that we never even dash our foot against a stone.
The question then is; if we have such formidable security and protection why does it seem believers sometimes still fall victims?
The answer is that, what motivates God to act on our behalf is our depth of faith and relationship with Him.
God’s response to us is determined by our knowledge of who He is. Indeed it is those who know their God that will be strong and do exploits.
When we know God for ourselves and diligently obey His Word, whenever we call He hears us and whatever we ask He does for us.
Intimate relationship with God is what Christ died at the Cross to purchase for us. Through His Blood we have been reconciled and restored to live as sons of God with access to Heaven’s best resources.
Revelation 5:12 says Jesus was slain to receive for us power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Jesus paid the full redemptive price to purchase for us all we need to live in victory and dominion on the earth. God’s people only sometimes perish for lack of knowledge.
By covenant every child of God is born for signs and wonders. We are ordained to reign over the enemies of our destiny and triumph over trials and tribulations.
But it is only through the knowledge of God that we can walk in the fullness of our redemptive inheritance.
2 Peter 1:3 says ‘According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him.’
The level of our knowledge of God determines the level of inheritance we can enjoy. Let us therefore seek to know God more and more through quality time spent with Him in worship, prayers and in-depth study of The Word. Through such intimate fellowship, we will always be conscious of God’s surrounding Presence. As we praise Him at all times, His presence will keep increasing around us. And whatever we ask He will do for us and wherever we go He shall be with us to deliver us from all life’s trial, troubles and turbulence.
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the price You paid at the Cross for my salvation. Please grant me fresh appetite for Your Word and Your Presence, so that I can be empowered through faith to always live in victory and dominion over life’s challenges in Jesus Name. .
