“Some time later, the Lord spoke to Abram in a vision and said to him, Do not be afraid, Abram, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great. But Abram replied, O Sovereign Lord, what good are all your blessings when I don’t even have a son? Since you’ve given me no children, Eliezer of Damascus, a servant in my household, will inherit all my wealth. You have given me no descendants of my own, so one of my servants will be my heir. Then the Lord said to him, No, your servant will not be your heir, for you will have a son of your own who will be your heir. Then the Lord took Abram outside and said to him, Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have. And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith. Then the Lord told him, I am the Lord who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as your possession.” Genesis 15:1-7

If there is any time in our Christian journey that we will ever seek a shield over our lives and over everything else that concerns us it is now. Do not wait until things start going wrong in your life before you start seeking God’s shield; do not wait until the devil is having his foot or has an input in your health, in the lives of your children, over your finances, over your marriage, in your church and ministry, in your relationship with your spouse and with God; in your profession and job before you start requesting God to provide a shield over you and over that which belongs to you. The shield of God is very necessary at all times and in all places irrespective of your wealth, of your level of faith, profession, gender, location and color. The shield of God is very effective at all times and can adequately defend you, securely protect you and effectively sustain you for now and for the next level that God will be taking you to in life.

Let us ask for God’s shield against every demonic attack in our lives, in the lives of our children, in our finances, in our marriages, in our services to God and to men. Let us effectively ask for all of God’s shield against sin in our days because we are being exposed every form temptation and the works of sin is taking its toll in the lives of many people. Let us ask for God’s shield as we seek to begin and to maintain a relationship that God will be honored at all times. Let us ask for God’s shield as desire to have a life that will give us peace, help us maintain a Godly focus in this age of confusion and distractions on material things; let us ask for grace God’s shield as we seek a life of spiritual and physical and financial excellent in this age of pride and self-glory; let us ask for God’s effective shield twenty four seven, in all seasons and in all occasions.

One of the later promises of God to Abraham after the first was that He will shield him because he had decided to obey His words throughout his life. God promised to shield Abram throughout his journey of faith in holding on to His promises; God promised to be his shield throughout all the times, the days and the years of the challenges of the devil against him because of his strong believe in His word and on the sure fulfillment of all the promises; He promised to shield him throughout the times he will suffer delays in the manifestations of the promises; throughout the time that people, even his own family member will rise up to challenge him for following His words; throughout the time that he will be alone, in rejection and in another country; throughout the time that his wealth and his belongings will be challenged; throughout the time his servants will rise to insult him and throughout the time he will wait in prayers for what next to do; throughout the time he will be in expectation for a divine move; throughout the time he will feel lonely, feel rejected and feel frustrated by the powers of darkness that will rise to contend with the grace of the blessings of God upon his life.

It was God’s shield that kept Abraham in his times of delay; kept Noah in his time of wealth and pleasure pursuits; that kept Job in his times of security against the plans of the devil on his life. We truly need God’s shield. For prayers, Click here For 2015 Praise and worship Click Here
