Dearly Beloved,

THE LORD WILL PROTECT YOU

"The LORD will protect you from all danger; he will keep you safe. He
will protect you as you come and go now and forever" (Psalm 121:7-8,
TEV).

The LORD has promised in many places in the Bible to protect His
people from all danger (see Job 5:19-27; Psalms 41:2; 91:9-16; 97:10;
145:20; 121:3-8; Proverbs 2:8; 3:23-26; 2 Timothy 4:18). These
promises were literally fulfilled in the lives of some people
including me recently. The men of the underworld invaded the city
where I reside some days ago and unleashed terror on the residents,
killing many police officers and civilians as they freely robbed some
banks in the city. I was in one of the downtown churches with a
pastor-colleague when the operation started. The Lord protected me and
I got back home safely that day. However, my testimony was not as
spectacular as those of another pastor-colleague and a member of his
church. The pastor was caught up in one of the hot spots of the
operation while the member was caught up in another spot. The
daredevil armed robbers killed two police officers in the presence of
the pastor. The church member was in his vehicle for over an hour
lying down inside the vehicle as the robbers were shooting
sporadically everywhere. Bullets shattered the windscreen of the
vehicle while there was another bullet mark on the door of the
vehicle. It was a real protection of God!

These testimonies are just a vivid example of the protection of God.
He has been protecting people even in every normal situation. If He
opens our eyes to see the dangers from which He is protecting us
everyday, we would be more grateful for His unending protection.

As this year is running to an end and throughout the days of your
life, the Lord will continue to protect you. He will save you from all
evils. He will guide and guard you in all your ways. He will preserve
your life in Jesus' name. Amen.

In His service,

Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor).

"I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will
have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted
in my body, whether by life or by death. FOR TO ME, TO LIVE IS CHRIST
AND TO DIE IS GAIN" (Philippians 1:20-21, NIV).
