Message

When a fellow or organisation is under an insurance cover, the insurance company must ensure that such a fellow or organisation is duly compensated for any losses that have been provided for under the insurance cover. However, unlike insurance covers, God's cover is absolute because it totally prevents evil from happening.

Everyone is under God's general cover, whether they are born again or not. In Matthew 5:45, the Bible says that God makes the sun to rise on the evil and the good and the rain to fall on the just and the unjust. If unbelievers are not under God's general cover, they wouldn't even be able to breathe. When unbelievers receive a miracle, it is always on credit, and it is a sign that God loves them and wants to be their Father.

There are, however, some special covers that are for God's children only. For example, Jesus said in Mark 7:27 that healing is the children's bread. Likewise, protection against evil forces can only happen when a fellow is in Jesus' camp. Colossians 1:13 says that God has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. If anyone really wants to live under the special cover of the Almighty Cod, He or she must be His child indeed.

As with insurance companies, believers must pay a premium to abide under God's cover. Anyone who subscribes to an insurance package must pay his or her dues regularly to have access to the full benefits. For example, if someone subscribes to a car insurance plan and opts for a monthly payment plan but pays only once a year, such a person will not enjoy the benefits of the policy if the car becomes damaged. To fully enjoy the benefits of insurance, subscribers must fulfil their part.

Beloved, your access to God's special cover is an intimate relationship with Him. This means that you must study youl Bible and pray daily, fellowship with other brethren, and serve God wholeheartedly, Many Christians have fallen victim to the devil because they lost their spiritual sensitivity after staying far from God for a long time. It is in your constant fellowship with God that you remain under His special cover. Are you abiding in His secret place, or have you been going in and out? If you want to enjoy the full benefits of being under God's cover, you must constantly remain in His presence.

Rock Of Ages, Cleft For Me

Reflection:
Have you been dwelling in the secret place of the Most High?

King James Version

Psalm 91:1-16

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. [3] Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. [4] He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. [5] Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; [6] Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. [7] A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. [8] Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. [9] Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; [10] There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. [11] For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. [12] They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. [13] Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. [14] Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. [15] He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. [16] With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
RCCG Hymn

Rock of Ages, cleft for me

  1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me.
    Let me hide myself in Thee!
    Let the water and the blood.
    From Thy riven side which flowed.
    Be of sin the double cure;
    Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
  2. Not the labours of my hands.
    Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
    Could my zeal no respite know.
    Could my tears for ever flow.
    All for sin could not atone.
    Thou must save and Thou alone.
  3. Nothing in my hand I bring,
    Simply to Thy cross I cling
    Naked, come to Thee for dress.
    Helpless, look to Thee for grace.
    Foul, I to the fountain fly
    Wash me. Saviour, or I die.
  4. While I draw this fleeting breath.
    When my eyelids close in death.
    When I soar to worlds unknown.
    See Thee on Thy judgement throne.
    Rock of Ages, cleft for me.
    Let me hide myself in Thee.
