Topic: The Hedge
Text: Zechariah 2:1-5

We must constantly pray for the Holy Spirit to continue to teach and enlighten us spiritually concerning the mystery of divine protection. There is an invisible hedge of protection around every child of God. You don’t have to be a man of God to enjoy divine protection. For example, when a house is protected, even the youngest baby is secure. God has built an impenetrable wall of protection around every member of the household of faith. This protection is our bonafide right. In Zechariah 2:4-5, the Bible says: “And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: For I saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be glory in the midst of her.” The Lord says He will prosper Jerusalem and, unlike other cities of the olden days, there would be no wall built round it for protection. What would surround the city if the fire of God were round it? It was this type of hedge built round Job that made Satan to ask for permission before he could attack him (Job 1:8-10). There is a hedge round about us too if we fear the Lord and live the life of holiness. You may not see this wall of fire but it is there. The devil confessed that he tried to get Job but he could not because God had made a hedge round about him. In Isaiah 41:10-16, the Almighty say a lot of things: That, He can help us to stand, and that those who try to move us from where He has placed us would be shamed and confounded and we would seek them and not find them. He says He would hold us by His right hand and help us. The only thing that God asks from us to establish us forever is recorded in Isaiah 1:19: “”if ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land”. Also, if you are willing and obedient, you will get to Heaven. Whatever the enemy may be doing to get you off track will surely fail because God will help you. Do not be afraid.
