Zechariah 2:5(KJV)
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.
The purpose of walls serves as a protection mechanism around homes, cities, and nations. Our anchor Scripture reveals God as a Wall of Fire around His children. In other words, there is a protective hedge around every child of God. This protective hedge refers to the wall of fire. Around every holy child of God, there is an unseen wall that satan cannot pass through, for the Lord is a Consuming Fire. In other words, God has built a hedge of fire around every child of His, such that satan cannot reach us. God puts a wall of protection around us and everything we have to ensure our safety in the physical and spiritual realms. When satan sees the children of God surrounded by the fire of God, he keeps his distance. This wall of fire cannot be seen with our physical eyes, except God opens our spiritual eyes to see it or sometimes opens the eyes of our enemies to see it. Job 1:10 says, “Hast, not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.”
To live our God-given life on earth, we need Christ because life without Christ ends in disaster. Any person or thing in this life needs divine protection if they are going to succeed unhindered. Divine Protection is, therefore, key in every endeavor of life. When we have the wall of fire around us, no devil can harass us, and every power from the covens of darkness will always bow to us. The fire of the Almighty God is so hot that when it surrounds us, the fire of this world will make way for us to pass. Daniel 3:24-28 makes us understand that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego survived the fiery furnace because the higher fire of God surrounded them. Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den (Daniel 6:16-23), but the lions couldn’t eat him because of who surrounded him. As long as God created us to fulfill His agenda on the earth, we are too needful for any agents of the devil to waste us. Psalm 125:2 says, “As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even forever.” The Power of God shall compass us roundabout and be a Wall of Fire to terrify and destroy our enemies; for our God is a Consuming Fire(Hebrews 12:29). God is the sure and safe protection of His people; who went before the people of Israel in a pillar of a cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night and surrounded Elisha with horses and chariots of fire.
Beloved, who surrounds you, determines what you can survive; your association determines your security and protection. Embrace the idea that you are too surrounded by the fire of God to be wasted by the devil and his agents. Talk it, behave it, and live it. The evidence of Job’s protection should encourage you to remain true to your faith as a child of God. Only a strong wall of fire can see you through life this year and beyond. Today, connect to the Lord who changes not, and no devil nor his agents can finish you. No curse can waste your life, nor can any force of hell determine your end. As you connect to the Lord, you will see the destruction of your enemies. Determine not to have any alternative to God no matter what, but allow God to lead you in everything. Trust Him to bring you into your fulfillment of life and destiny. Refuse to fear, for your fearlessness is God’s weapon for your preservation. The Wall of Fire around your life will terminate every sickness, orchestration of the enemy, and affliction. In whatever you do, dwell in the secret place of the Almighty God, and God will defend, deliver, and preserve your life.
O Lord, I connect with Your Wall of Fire for my life. Remain a Wall of Fire around my life in Jesus’ Name!
