MEMORISE: Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. Job 1:10
READING: PSALM 121:1-8
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
MESSAGE:
A person who is truly untouchable is under God’s divine protection – safe from harm, danger, evil, and the enemy’s attack.
People who are truly untouchable have a wall of fire around them. They cannot be touched by evil, and whenever the devil tries to afflict them, they overcome him easily.
This should be the reality of everyone who is truly a child of God. Unfortunately, the devil has access to the lives of some believers.
One of the things that gives the devil access to some believers is their lukewarmness.
For instance, if a Christian who is on fire for God suddenly finds it boring to go to church, attend vigils, or even pray, he or she is in danger of being touched by the devil.
Similarly, when a Christian starts committing sin, he or she becomes exposed to the devil and can be afflicted by him.
My dear child, living in sin is the fastest way to face an attack from the devil.
If you don’t want to become vulnerable, you must stay away from sin. You must also take your Bible study and prayers seriously.
There is a saying that a prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. You must remain on fire for God to be untouchable by the devil and his cohorts.
Quiz:
A prayerless Christian is a _.
KEY POINT:
Do away with everything that can extinguish the wall of fire around you.
HYMN: 14
HO, MY COMRADES! SEE THE SIGNAL
1 HO, my comrades! See the signal
Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing,
Victory is nigh!
Chorus:
“Hold the Fort, for I am coming,”
Jesus signals still;
Wave the answer back to Heaven,
“By Thy grace we will.”
2 See the mighty host advancing,
Satan leading on:
Mighty men around us falling,
Courage almost gone.
3 See the glorious banner waving!
Hear the trumpet blow!
In our Leader’s name we’ll triumph
Over every foe!
4 Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near:
Onward comes our great Commander,
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!
