I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up from some other place on the stone wall, that one is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep the protector and provider. The doorkeeper opens the gate for this man, and the sheep hear his voice and pay attention to it. And knowing that they listen, he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out to pasture. When he has brought all his own sheep outside, he walks on ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice and recognize his call. They will never follow a stranger but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers. Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what He was talking about. So Jesus said again, I assure you and most solemnly say to you, I am the Door for the sheep leading to life. All who came before Me as false messiahs and self-appointed leaders are thieves and robbers, but the true sheep did not hear them. I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved and will live forever, and will go in and out freely, and find pasture, spiritual security. The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance to the full, till it overflows. I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His own life for the sheep.” John 10:1-11

The foundation for you to stand on and not be moved by the powers of darkness despite all the tricks of his frustration, his humiliation and shame is the foundation that God in Jesus Christ had prepared for you and me; Christ Jesus came into the world for such a purpose, He accepted to put down His own life in shame for everyone who will receive Him as their Lord and Savior; it did it for their present and eternal joy and for their victory over sin and evil powers seeking to destroy souls and the good deed and efforts of men. Christ Jesus goes before everyone who believes in Him and follows Him with obedience and humility to prepare their ways and to stand with and behind them in their daily activities; He leads them to places they will find green pastures for their souls and body; He ensures they are safe and secured and He ensures they are productive. Did you know that everything had been done for your success? Everything had been put in place to keep you in His hands for good; everything had been put in place to preserve your life from falling apart and being captured by the enemies; everything had been put in place to promote you before men and everything had been put in place to ensure that you fulfill the good desires that God in His love had placed in your heart, to fulfill the good will of God and to fulfill the destiny that God had prepared for you and prepared you for long before you were born. There is nothing lacking in His plans for your life and your destiny.

In Christ Jesus you have a protection that will not fail and cannot be penetrated for any reason, we read how Job enjoyed the protective hedge of God about him and Satan had to seek God’s permission before he could get to him, you are enjoying that same protection today. In Christ Jesus, we have coverage over our spirit, soul, and body against the attacks of evil, against the plans of failure, against the things that destroy the unbelievers and the disobedient children of God. In this coverage is His presence of comfort and peace and security. In Christ Jesus, we have a secured place of refuge, a place we can rest our souls and thoughts, a place we can be salvaged from the wickedness that pursues us for destruction and a refuse we can boast about to everyone around us. In Christ Jesus, we have a shield that keeps us in safely and securely. In Him we have a wall that is formidable and physically and spiritually strong; we have a shelter that none of our enemies can penetrate; in Christ Jesus, we have angelic guards who protect, defends, and guards us in all our ways of obedience and service. The angels are to lift us up in their hands so that we do not trip against the stone that causes failure. For prayers, Click here
