ANGELS ON ASSIGNMENT

Memorise:
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all
thy ways.
Psalms 91:11
Read: Daniel 6:19-22
19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in
haste unto the den of lions.
20 And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable
voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O
Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest
continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths,
that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency
was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no
hurt.

Message
One of the markers indicating that a life is blessed of God is the
receipt of support from heaven. Such support can be
manifested as heavenly bodies working to advance the
objectives of the blessed. When the wise men from the East
were looking for Jesus, and they did not know where He was, it
took stars to guide them there (Matthew 2:1-11). If God could
use the stars to lead the wise men to Jesus, He can still do so
now. The Lord will use the stars to direct your customers,
contracts and favours to you this season in Jesus’ Name! The
good thing about this is that whenever God decides to use
anything to assist or direct you, they will not fail you or stop half
way, just as the star successfully led the wise men all the way to
Jesus.
Moreover, as the blessed of the Lord, when Heaven supports
you, the beings that live in Heaven, such as angels, are also
released to advance your cause. For instance, when Elijah was
hungry, discouraged and depressed, so much so that he asked
God to take his life, it was an angel that God sent to bring him
food (1 King 19:4-8). Also, in our Bible reading, when the hungry
lions were ready to pounce on Daniel as their potential prey, it
was an angel that came to seal their mouths for as long as he
was in their den. Have you been thrown into the den of spiritual,
physical or financial lions? The Lord will send His angel to rescue
you from harm’s way in Jesus’ Name! The supporting operation
of angels was also manifested when Sennacherib besieged King
Hezekiah and his people (2 Kings 19:32-37)? It was just one
angel that God sent to their rescue, and he single-handedly
destroyed 185,000 soldiers in just one night. In the Name that is
above every other name, both seen and unseen forces of
darkness that are mobilised against you and yours from the air,
land, sea and under the earth shall be razed down today by an
angel of the Lord! In addition, it was an angel that warned
Joseph in a dream of Herod’s intention to kill the child Jesus, and
the angel told him to escape to Egypt (Matthew 2:13-15). After
the death of Herod, an angel also informed him in a dream that
it was time to return home, and he directed him on where to go
to specifically (Matthew 2:19-22). Angels are always on
assignment to help the blessed. If you are blessed of God, you
can also send angels on assignment to help your cause. The Holy
Spirit revealed this truth about angels in Hebrews 1:14: “Are they
not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who
shall be heirs of salvation?”
From today, you shall be a recipient of angelic visitations and
guidance in Jesus’ Name.
