The Beauty of Spiritual Covering
It is expedient that we stay under spiritual cover, just as we physically cover ourselves properly for protection. More importantly, we need to abide in the secret place of God Almighty. A good scenario is when there is heavy down pour of rain, the Umbrella is used to provide shade and protect ourselves from being wet. Only those who hide under the Umbrella are protected from the heavy rain.
Spiritually, we take cover by applying the Blood of Jesus Christ, which Has been freely given to us on the cross of Calvary when Jesus laid down His precious life. Another way of staying under cover is to be in fellowship, right association with people who God Has ordained and positioned to provide spiritual and physical guidance, counsel and support. You must be intentional about staying under cover. No man is an Island and we don’t have all the solution, because God created us one for another. We represent Him in different ways and with different parts of our being: hands, legs, voice and so much.
Nugget: Staying under spiritual cover keeps you shielded and protected from the fiery darts of the wicked.
You can maintain spiritual coverage by yielding to divine direction and prompting of the Holy Spirit and constantly applying the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Our security and protection is ultimately from above, not from abroad or by human efforts. The name of the Lord is a strong tower and refuge in time of need.
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
