MFM Daily Devotional 10 August 2022  MESSAGE

The Bible affirms that there is a hedge of protection put in place by God around every believer. Whether you are aware of this or not, if you are a believer, you have it around you. The purpose of that divine hedge is to shield or protect you from the invasion and attack of the devil and his cohorts (demons and human agents). It is a spiritual guard and covering that ensures your safety. When you have the hedge around you, the enemy will not be able to steal or kill or destroy in your life.

However, it is your responsibility to ensure that the hedge remains intact and unbroken. You should learn and do the things that will retain, maintain and sustain the hedge. You should also learn and avoid those things that can break the hedge. The truth is that the consequences of a broken hedge are grave. The devil knows that the hedge of God is a mark of “touch not” upon the life of Job.

As long as the hedge was intact, Job prospered and his achievements and credentials were both phenomenal and unparalleled in his time. Job himself did not make the mistake that removed his supernatural hedge of protection. It was God that removed it temporarily. The devil told God, “Why won’t Job have all these impressive achievements and be devoted to you when you have hedged him roundabout?

When the hedge of protection is in place in your life, the Holy Spirit and God’s angels will repel any evil or calamity that the enemy and his cohorts direct your way. You will be miraculously saved from danger and the plans of the enemy for your life will be mysteriously thwarted.

Besides, you will dwell in the secret place of the most High and abide under His shadow. Day and night, asleep or awake, you will dwell in safety. This honour and privilege are for those who are born again and indwelt by the Spirit of God.
