BIBLE IN A YEAR: Zech 1-3
COVERED BY MOTHER HEN?
MEMORIZE: "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalms 91:1)
READ: Matthew 23:37-39
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). Another reason for coming apart is to access divine coverage. The eagle cannot see the chickens under the wings of their mother. God wants us under His wings. Matthew 23:37 says, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not”. The reason some believers are not enjoying full divine protection is because they refused to set themselves apart and be alone with God. The only time some people engage in meaningful, fervent prayer is when they come to church. They hardly spend time alone with God. Until Jacob stood alone with God, he remained what he had always been - a deceiver. The day he decided enough was enough, he parted with his family and everything else just to be alone with God. That day, his name was changed: his status quo changed. His destiny changed. The danger ahead of him turned to jubilation. When will you make time to be alone with God? If you are too busy to do so, it means it is not important to you.
In one Holy Ghost Service we organized, the Lord said that there was a lady with a problem in her intestines and that it has been taken care of. Later, the woman came to testify that she had been eating baby food for 23 years. But when the Word of God concerning her situation was mentioned, she claimed it in faith and ever since she can eat regular food. Whatever has troubled you for so long will come to an end this season. In ministry, be wary of those who are quick to start a church and call themselves “President or Founder.” The elders have a saying that while they are trying to deliver the chick from the eagle, it will be complaining that it was not allowed to enter the dunghill to feast on worms. There is much freedom when not under a spiritual cover. Many a time when the eagle attempts to pick a chick, the mother hen pecks it with its beak, and inflicts a wound. In the process, the eater becomes the prey. It is very attractive for a pastor to leave spiritual coverage and start his own ministry because nobody will ask him for tithes or records. But when the eagle comes, then he will realize he has been fattened for the slaughter. The cover you need is not the one you choose by yourself, but the one the Lord chooses for you. Are you under divine cover? If you are, remain there. Do not stray out of that cover except you want to be a prey.
ACTIONPOINT: The price into your greatest breakthrough or place of destiny is one no other person can pay but you. Have you paid it like Jacob?
