BREAKING THE HEDGE

BREAKING THE HEDGE
I write on this fascinating topic “Breaking the Hedge”. Breaking the hedge is not advisable, because one becomes vulnerable to attacks. A hedge prevents one from attacks. A hedge is a mound of earth, stone or turf faced, often topped with bushes, used as fence. It can also be defined as an arrangement reducing ones exposure to risk. The hedge is essential in the life of a man. Biblically, the hedge represents a shield, it represents a wall of fire, it represents our defense, and it represents our refuge and fortress. The Psalmist says but thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory and the lifter of my head. GOD was his shield, GOD was his refuge and fortress, GOD was his defense, GOD was his glory, GOD was the lifter up of his head, because GOD delights in him. GOD builds a hedge around those who fear him. GOD builds a hedge around those who trust him. Job 1 vs. 9-10: Then satan answered the Lord, and said, Does Job fear GOD for nothing? Have not You made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands and his substance is increased in the land. GOD makes a hedge around the upright. No wonder the bible says Job was a perfect and upright, and one that feared GOD and eschewed evil. Psalm 18 vs. 30: As for GOD, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried; he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. GOD’s hedge around a man makes him untouchable, unexposed and unstoppable. Psalm 91 vs. 4: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shall thou trust; his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Only those GOD build a hedge around are covered with his feathers and they trust under his wings. Oh the Bible is perfect! Psalm 127 vs. 1: Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain that build it, except the Lord keep the city, the watch man wakes but in vain. Only GOD never sleeps nor slumber, the watch men can sleep and slumber anytime. They wake, but in vain.

               However, many break the hedge GOD built around them by not fearing GOD, not doing his will, not being upright, not trusting GOD, not living a righteous life, trusting in the arm of flesh, leaning on their own understanding. Ecclesiastes 10 vs. 8b: and whoso breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him. It is not advisable for a man to break GOD’s hedge around him. When the hedge is broken, a man becomes exposed and vulnerable to the serpent. It is risky to break the hedge around you. The Israelites murmured against GOD, they were against GOD’s will to take them from slavery to the promise land. They never trusted GOD. Numbers 21 vs. 5-6: They began to murmur against GOD and to complain against Moses. “Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die here in the wilderness?” they whined. There is nothing to eat here and nothing to drink, and we hate this insipid manna. So the Lord sent poisonous snakes among them to punish them, and many of them were bitten and died. They broke the hedge GOD built around them; they were bitten by the serpent. When a man start questioning GOD’s provision, GOD’s will, and GOD’s protection, he has broken the hedge and the serpent shall bite. Many have broken the hedge through sins; the bible says the soul that sinneth shall die. Many have been bitten by the serpent; you need to look unto JESUS, the Author and finisher of our Faith, so you can live again; so his hedge around you can be restored. It is well with us!

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you ...

THE DUTY OF MAN

THE DUTY OF MAN Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!                However, there is time for everything. Don’t get excited and get carried away in this world. D...
