Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha
For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire
round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. Zechariah Chapter 2 verse 5
Violence,
anarchy, bloodletting, warfare, armed robbery, kidnapping, piracy are not
new. They have always been part of man
from the beginning of creation. Cain killed his brother Abel because he was
jealous of Abel’s success. Thereafter, bloodletting in diverse forms has been
insisting on becoming the norm of life.
God
the Creator and owner of the universe offers to be a wall of fire around you,
your loved ones, your home, building, compound and estate. It is the greatest
privilege and honor in life because God takes over all your battles so that you
can rest and give Him the glory. He fights your battles and barricades the
enemy from accessing you or anything that belongs to you.
Everything
created by God can become either a weapon of destruction or safety and security
in the hands of God depending on what divide a person is in. Fire destroys,
consumes people that God is angry with. That same fire also becomes a wall of
divine defence, security and peace to the people of God when God chooses to be
a wall of fire around His people.
God’s wall of fire is an impenetrable
fortress because God’s wall of fire is God Himself and nothing, no one no
matter how powerful, how numerous can break through God. Every power bows to
God. Besides, God does not move alone – the innumerable company of angels,
heavenly hosts and chariots of fire that accompany God will mop up any force
contending with the person God is protecting. Therefore, do not fear. When God
comes down as a wall of fire around you, then nothing can come against you
because God is watching over you with His love and compassion.
