Psalm 91:4 ‘Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day.
DAILY READING – • Acts 20:1-16; Judges 13; Job 41
World War II, is the deadliest conflict in history, with over 70 million fatalities. World War II was a global conflict that started on 7 July 1937 in Asia and 1 September 1939 in Europe and lasted until 1945, involving the majority of the world’s states and every inhabited continent.
World War II is the only war to have used nuclear weapons till date. This war was marked by Hitler’s Holocaust and mass deaths. World War II was the most extensive and costly armed conflict in the history and drastically changed world politics forever.
Indeed mankind has always been involved in wars for thousands of years. This is all in an attempts to prove dominance over others.
Even today, wars are constantly being fought. Currently, there are still many ongoing conflicts in different nations of the world.
However, what is happening physically is also a reflection of what is going on spiritually.
Everyday spiritually, there is a fierce warfare going on, where darts and arrows are 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 these battles God has promised protection to His children.
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 up and down, 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.
In this year if we are to see the prophesied wonder, then we must learn how to speak right and release God’s Word against every negative situation. A closed mouth is a closed destiny. We must be able to release the Word of God against the things fighting our 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.
The enemy is shooting forth arrow of words, you can’t afford to keep silent. So arise and begin to declare the counsel of God over you. Speak against stagnation, sickness or any other anti-covenant thing that is trying to hang around 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 every battle in Jesus Name.
