DIVINE INSURANCE

(Exodus 14:9-14)

FEAR NOT!

“Fear not!” is the caption of divine insurance of God that is provided to cover His children. Where ever you come across the phrase, ‘fear not!’ in the Bible, look closely, there is something terrifying going on that can shake the confidence of a brave man. Example of this was the situation of Israelites when they were at the shore of Red Sea and the Egyptian chariots and their charioteers were pursuing the defenseless civilians that just escape the enslavement of the Egyptians.  It is at this moment of fretting that the word of encouragement comes from God assuring His children that there is a divine insurance provision for them that always manifest in the presence of Almighty God with them. Interpretation of this phrase includes: Son or daughter, (as the case may be) in this situation, I understand your frailty; but fear not because I will equip you with my strength. In this condition that your have found yourself, I know that this is the end of your ability but fear not, it is just the beginning of my ability. You seemed to be lost in the bottomless pit but fear not my stretched hands that manifest in my love will locate you and lift you up. The enemies may be rejoicing that they had had you where they wanted you, but because you are precious to me, fear not, the joy of enemy will be short lived and their joy will soon turn to tears and you will have the last laugh because I am your God.

THE SEASON OF FEAR

We have reason to be afraid in this season because of the general frighten situation in the world. The person that goes to work in the morning cannot boast of coming back to his home in the evening amidst the dangers and perils that surround the world. The 9/11 factor is prevalent in the mind of everybody in America. One messenger of Satan throw the evil ball in the ocean of mankind and the ripple effect continue to destroy innocent people. The global terrorist activities around the world in Phillipine, Kenya, Yemen and Russia are scary. USS Cole was attack in Yemen. U.S. Embassy was bombed in Kenya. Civilian Passenger jetliners that fly from one continent to another became instrument of war in the hand of terrorist to attack monumental targets. International Hotels are now targets of the terrorists. Untimely death as a result of terrorist activities and resultant military response is more or less every day threatening fear in Israel and Palestine. The latest devastating conventional bomb, a 21,000 pounds bomb named Massive Ordinance Air Blast, (MOAB) that is capable of leveling everything within its radius of one and half miles has been manufactured. Nuclear proliferation is on the increase. Nuclear capability now has become a symbol of strength and it becomes the ultimate goal of every successful nations. The major problems of the 20th century was nuclear proliferation but the problem of the world in 21st century is scarier because of the proliferation of chemical and biological warfare.

The fire incidence in the supposedly place of ‘comfort’ is alarming and it is given every body a concern that factually, no place can be considered safe. The people that went to the night club in Chicago and Rhode Island did not know that they were bargaining for untimely death when they stepped in to the club. We know that incident do occur from time to time as well as natural disasters but notwithstanding the frequencies of these occurrence is a message to the entire world that there is a serious need to take a divine insurance. Apart from all these, the looming war seems to be broken the heart of everyone when the thought of it creeps in. The fear is not about the possibility of losing the war. Whether victory or vanquish, it will involve the souls of innocents ones, the beloved ones that are close to our hearts. The fear is about the consequential effect of the war that will surely create a hostile environment to the generality of mankind, it is the fear of possibility of out break of the third world war. It is about the ugly effect of war that will result in amputating the able bodied men and women that will rendered completely incapacitated and made them to become dependent to others for the rest of their lives. It is the devastating effect of war upon the economy that is already sick before the commencement of war. The national terror alert of a world super-power nation is orange color which is next to the highest. People are now preparing for possibility of chemical warfare and the possibility that the terrorist may strike any moment in a supposedly free and safe nation. In no doubt, beloved, this is a season of fear.

Apart from this single factor, there are other situations that has created personal season of fear in the heart of man. A person that was diagnosed of a deadly disease like cancer or AIDS will of course be devastated with fear. Different situation create different types of fear in the life of man but all these situations does not change the ugly face of fear. And whatever may be the ugliness of the face of our fear, it does not change the mightiness of Almighty God. Before we get to the point of fear in our lives, if we are under the cover of divine insurance of God, we will not have anything to be afraid of, because in every situation God is in control.

THE DIVINE INSURER

We may be wondering and ask, “Who is the Divine Insurer?”  Before insuring life and property with any insurance company, you will like to know the name of the company. You will like to know the background of the company. You will like to know the financial strength of the company and perhaps you will like to know some successful history of its coverage. In the case of worldly insurance companies, you will call Bureau of good Business and you will be told all the back ground and interesting history of the company. In the like manner, you need to know the Divine Insurer. God Almighty is the Divine Insurer. He has other name that was revealed for other situations. His name, God Almighty, is deliberate in this study to point out His divine ability to deliver under any circumstances. Talking about His capacity, He is the Creator of the whole universe. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) The beautiful creations are His ideas. He created man in His own image. “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock over all the earth, …” (Genesis 1:26) Nothing is impossible for Him to do and nothing is difficult for Him. “And he said, ‘The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” (Luke 18:27) There is nothing that happens without His knowledge. “God is greater than our heart, And knoweth all thing.” (I John 3:20) He knew the end before the beginning and He declares the end at the beginning. “Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.” (Isaiah 46:9-10) The Lord knows how to deliver the godly. “The Lord knoweth how to deliver godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.” II Peter 2:9)

DIVINE INSURANCE COVERS THE CHILDREN OF GOD

Every time you come across the phrase ‘fear not’ in the Bible, God was comforting His children. The word of comfort is for the people that are being called by His name and certainly not for the enemy of peace or people that are daily perpetrating evil to humanity.

People are generally skeptical of taking insurance policy because of one factor or the other. Perhaps the same may be your thought towards taking divine insurance covering of Almighty God. Perhaps you are considering the importance of this divine insurance. Or perhaps you are still contemplating whether to come under the protective covering of Almighty God. Think of the following, brethren. Your safety is more important that your progress. You can only progress confidently and peacefully in a safe environment. Even if you are progressive in a hostile environment it is likely to be difficult to enjoy your fruit of labor.

Again, one of the greatest mistake anyone could make is to think that he has no enemy or ignore that enemy exist. The fact that enemy had not attack you does not follow that they are not planning evil against you. The undeniable facts about your enemies is that whenever you begin to build they becomes angry and they are ready to tear down everything you labor for throughout your entire life one day, if they have the opportunity. Your enemies know the devastating effect of your prayer; they know that your prayer can move the mighty hands of Almighty God to your advantage, therefore when you pray to God they are angry. When enemy wants to deal with believer, they take away the power of prayer of the believer. They direct their barrage of attacks on you to weaken you spiritually and pre-occupy the quality time you spend with God with other worldly activities. When they do this, they try to break the fellowship between you and God in order to take you out of the protective covering of God.

You only know what is going on in the physical realm around you but your enemies knew so much about you because they operate both in the physical and in the spiritual realm but their knowledge and power does not, in any way, comparable with awesome power of God. Although your future is not in the hands of enemy, however, the enemy could spy into your future and try to mess up with your present so as to make your future endeavors difficult to be attainable. The Creator who know the end from the beginning, created both the physical as well as the spiritual realm. He is in control in all the known and unknown realms in existence. One with God is a majority. If you are on the side of God you have a win-win situation when you encounter the wicked hands of enemy in the course of your life, because the word of God says that “the scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous …” (Psalm 125:3)

EVIDENCE OF HIS DIVINE COVERAGE

The following ultimate divine deliverance was evidence of divine care and love of God that manifest in protection of His precious people. Israelites camped at the shore of Red Sea immediately the got out of Egypt, perhaps to rest the feet that had traveled a long distance during the day.

(Exodus 14:9-22) Then they lifted up their eyes and they saw the Egyptian’s finest chariot and their charioteers pursuing them. The harmless civilian Israelites found themselves between the vast sea and the pursuing enemies, they felt devastated. In this desperate situation they expressed their angers and in a concerned spirit, they spoke harshly to Moses, “Was it because there were not graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die?” Moses encouraged the people in the Lord and said, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you sill the deliverance of the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see. The Lord will fight for you: you only need to be still.” God lived to His Holy name, and the angel of the Lord that led the Israelites moved behind them and also the pillar of cloud moved to stand between the Egyptians and the Israelites. The pillar of cloud provided light to the Israelites while at the same time bring darkness upon the Egyptians so that a safe distance could be maintained between them until the people of God will be departed into safety. Lastly, God paved way for the Israelites and they walked on dry land in between the wall of water in their two sides unto safety and the Egyptians that were pursuing them were all destroyed in the sea.

DANIEL IN THE LION DEN

The scenario in the divine deliverance of Daniel was very complex. Wicked people conspired and collaborated to get rid of Daniel. “Then said these men, ‘We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.” (Daniel 6:5) They first of all sponsored a decree that would make it compulsory for every one in the kingdom of Darius to worship idol god. Unwittingly, the king who really appreciated the leadership role that Daniel was playing in his kingdom signed the decree into law, not knowing that it was a scheme to get rid of Daniel because they all knew that Daniel will not worship idol god. Daniel did not worship idol god and consequently he broke the law in the kingdom of Darius. The wicked leaders that hatched up the plan to get rid of Daniel now placed a demand on the implementation of the king’s law. The king was reluctant to implement it and he determined in his heart to deliver Daniel but the law of Medes and Persians that cannot be changed stood between him and his good intentions. Reluctantly, the king commanded to cast Daniel into the den of lions. The king passed the night fasting, could not sleep in the night. (Daniel 6:16-22)

Perhaps we wonder, “What exactly is the den of lions? The den of lion is a place of destruction that your enemy wishes for you. It is the place of trap that the enemies celebrated your down-fall and rejoiced mischievously that you have been caught in the net of destruction they want you to be. We always wonder why the lions did not eat up Daniel. Could it be that all the lions in the den had constipation that day?  Far from this, the lions did not see Daniel as a dinner; rather they saw the protective anointing of God glowing round about Daniel. The lion could not come near Daniel because he was sealed up in the heavenly protective coverage. The king came early in the morning the following day with expectation to see, carcass bones of Daniel but to his amazement Daniel was alive unhurt. God proved the innocence of Daniel He also prove to the King Darius that He is God that delivers with stretched hands.

BURNING FURNACE DELIVERANCE

The deliverance of the three Hebrews, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego from the fiery furnace of Nebuchadnezzar was similar to that of Daniel. It was a challenge about the faithfulness of God in the lives of His children. Earlier on in the book of Isaiah 43:2-3 the word of God says, “When you passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through he rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: …” King Nebuchadnezzar passed a law that when the people of Babylon heard the sound of musical instrument they should fall down and worship the image of gold that the king set up. The enemy of these children of God went to the king that the three Hebrews did not observe the idolatry law of the king. In rage, the king summoned them for interrogation. They confirmed their righteous stand and said, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know O king, that we will not serve you gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” (Daniel 3:16-18) In fury rage, the king commanded that they be thrown into the burning furnace, but the uncommon deliverance took place. God confirmed His words in the lives of the Hebrews. He manifested His presence with them and became the fourth person with them in the burning furnace. The king was astonished, he leapt to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?”  “Certainly,” they all responded. “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”  (Daniel 3:24-25)

In the three ultimate perilous situations the affected people experience different difficult problems that were obviously beyond their controls. They all had one common trait, they were all children of God and they were all delivered by the divine intervention of God.  If you are being called by the holy name of God and you daily live according to His precepts, in the day of your despair God will rise up to His holy name and will deliver you.

GENERAL COVERAGE – (Psalm 91:1-16 )

Under the divine coverage there is a clear separation of the coverable from the uncoverable. In the secular insurance policy, remember they asked you specific questions, like “Are you smoking? Do you drink alcohol? Are you under prescription medicine? Do you have an ailment?” They will ask for your health history and the health history of your parents and your siblings whether any of them have been diagnosed any particular ailment. The reason for this is that they want to determine the health liability risk that they writing the insurance policy upon. For them to do this, they want to project the cost of health liabilities they are covering so that they will use the information to determine the premium they will demand from you. They want to know whether the venture will be profitable to the company or a loss.

But in the case of divine insurance policy there is clarity of criteria, you are either coverable or not coverable. Interestingly, whether you are under the divine coverage or outside the coveted coverage it is your choice. If you are yet to discover the love of God that brought salvation to mankind and you are yet to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, sorry, you are not covered under the divine policy. This, of course, is the bitter truth.  If you are a child of God but you do not live according to the precepts of God, you are simply sitting on the fence of the divine coverage and this means you provided yourself as a target of an attack of enemy any moment. If you are a child of God that lives according to the precepts of the law of God you are under the divine coverage. It means that you have made the Lord Almighty God your habitation. It means you are now dwelling in the secret place of the Most High God and you are abiding under the shadow of Almighty.

King David was under this divine coverage and he testified to the faithfulness of God concerning it and said, “I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”’ He was speaking from experience about the protective power in the mighty wings of Almighty God. He began to list the divine benefits under this coverage and said:

Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.  You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. Psalm 91:3-8

He challenged you and me and said, “If you make the Most High you dwelling – even the Lord, who is my refuge – then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.” David revealed the secret of the divine protection why harm will not befall us and why disaster will not come near us.

For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread upon the lion and the cobra: you will trample the great lion and the serpent.” Psalm 91:11-12

The divine coverage is anti spiritual lions and anti spiritual serpents attack. Lion is mentioned in the passage to measure the destructive power of devouring evil forces and serpent is mentioned to measure the accompanied devastating pains that associated with the attack of the evil forces because the angels of the Lord has been assigned unto you to guard you and bear you in their hands.

Love of God – There is no scale for measuring the love of God. The love of God reflects in our day-to-day activities with our neighbors, the desire within our heart to be in the presence of God. “I delight to do thy will, o my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.” (Psalm 40:8) The close criteria are the commandment of God that we keep wholeheartedly and willingly determine whether we love God or not. If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15) Establishing a relationship with God which manifests in reading and meditating upon the word of God and living according to its precept, praying fervently always. “For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.” (Matthew 12:5) Once the Heavenly Father is convinced that you love Him, His eyes will always be upon you, because, “the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and His ears are open to their cry,” (Psalm 34:15) therefore deliverance is inevitable at the crossroad of your life. He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. (Job 5:19) “And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever, Amen.” (II Timothy 4:18)

The name of God - God will not only deliver you, He will also honor you and set you on high because you know His name. “The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” (Proverbs 18:10) Knowing the name of God and understand the mystery that surround the name will enhance the way you acknowledgement the name of the Lord. God promised that, “With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.” “For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.” (Proverbs 3:2)

SPECIFIC DIVINE COVERAGE –
SEVEN “FEAR NOTs” COVERAGE

COVERAGE OF DIVINE BLESSING IN THE JOURNEY OF LIFE

“And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.” (Genesis 26:24)

God abundantly blessed Isaac in Gerar and he became the envy of the people of Philistines (Genesis 26:12-22) Abimelech the king of Gerar told Isaac, “Go from us because you are too much mightier than us.” Isaac left Gerar and pitched his tenth in the valley of Gerar. He wanted to complete the digging of well that had began before Abraham died. The servants of Isaac found a well of spring water but the herdsmen of Gerar, the Philistines strove with Isaac and took the well from him. He dug another well the Philistines strove again with Isaac and took the well from him. And lastly, he went to another place and dug another well and the people did not strive with Isaac anymore. No doubt this unprecedented hatred and envy could be demoralizing. Then, came the divine assurance of blessing from God in a night vision. Isaac was covered under the divine coverage of blessing because of the covenant of God with Abraham.

ASSURANCE COVERAGE OF SUPPLIES IN FAMINE

“And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a  little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.” (I King 17:13-14)

Judgment of God came down upon the idolatry minded people of the kingdom of Ahab. Elijah the servant of God was the voice of judgment upon the people. For three and half years rain did not fall in the province of Ahab but God have a unique way of providing for His own. “And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.” (I King 17:6) Ravens were the divine instrument that God used, first of all to bring bread and flesh for Elijah in the morning and in the evening, and he drank water from the brook of Cherith. Because of drought, the brook of Cherith dry up but the divine supply of God did not dry, it only shifted bases. And God directed Elijah to go to the widow of Zarephath. The widow was preparing the last meal before their death when the man of God, Elijah got there. He asked the widow for water and a morsel of bread and with a prophetic declaration, he prophesied upon the little supply of the widow to sustain them through out the period of drought.

COVERAGE OF PROTECTION IN THE TIME OF PERIL

“And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.” (II Kings 6:16-17)

Before God everything are made bare, not is hidden to God Almighty. In the same manner, God is open to His servants. The faithfulness of God and His servant always affect the crookedness of evil man. King of Syria warred against Israel. Every secret discussion of this king and his solders were all made bare before God and at the same time were revealed to the servants of God who in turn inform the king of Israel all the war plans and the logistics of enemy. King of Syria became frustrated and began to wonder, and with confrontation, he asked his servants, “Who among you was an informant for the Israelites?” One of his servants who is spiritually inclined said, “None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the kind of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.” King of Syria commanded to locate the place where the man of God was, and surrounded him with Syrian soldiers. They did exactly according to their plans. The servant of Elisha woke up in the morning and discovered that the whole city had been besieged with the warriors of Syrians. He was overwhelmed with fear and said to his master, “Alas, my master! How shall will do?” God had a counter plan of protection for His own that was not known to the enemies. When the eyes of the servant of Elisha were opened he saw the mountains full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

COVERAGE OF STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee: yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” (Isaiah 41:10)

When the problems of this world become overwhelming, the common language is, “I am tired,” “I can no longer cope anymore.” Many of us have experienced this brink of failure. We felt like quitting as if it is the only solution to the problem. A true defeat occurred when you quit at the peak of the trial of your life. Do not break that relationship, instead, fix it. If your break it, it means you quit, but if you fix it victory is on the way and the everlasting joy it will bring will be to Almighty God, a glory. Unfortunately, what seemed to be the brink of our failure is actually the entrance of the divine intervention of God if we are His children and if we turn everything into His hands in prayer. At this crossroad of our lives we are at the edge of our breakthrough and the divine intervention of God will pave the way where there is not way and will usher us in into our breakthroughs. Whatever may be the deplorable situations of your life, the presence of God will make a remarkable difference, the divine strength from above will lift you up and in the right hand of His righteousness He will uphold you.

COVERAGE OF COMPANIONSHIP IN TRIAL

“But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.” (Isaiah 43:1-3)

Problem is a spiritual exercise for the children of God. As the sporting events tones the body and strengthens the muscle for a prize or honor, the same way problems keep you on your toes and it is also it is a spiritual mechanism that continually remind you not to deviate from the covering of Almighty God in order that glory of God may manifest in your victory. Without problem in the pathway of your life, you cannot become an overcomer. Prophet Isaiah revealed this assurance from God in his prophecy, “When you passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” (Isaiah 43:2) David recognized this principle of life in testimony to presence of God in the life of David he added in the Psalm, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”  David passed through the valley of shadow of death even in the shepherd field. The lion and bear attacked the sheep, but the presence of God delivered David from those wild animals. He safely rescued the animals from the mouths of the wild animals. This was his launching pad faith that leapt him to victory in the valley of Elah.  The battle in the valley of Elah was not a battle of strength, neither was it a battle of skilful usage of weapons of war; rather, it was a battle of who is on the Lord’s side. David walked in to the valley of Elah in the name of the Lord; in this shadow of death he did not fear Goliath, the giant warrior of the Philistines. Goliath, the enemy of David came like flood of water, the presence of God with David raised a standard that gave him victory over the Philistine. The standards are the rod and staff which of course are the sword of the spirit. They comforted David indicating his love for the law of God but the same destroyed the enemy that trivialized it. 

COVERAGE OF OVERSHADOWING CARE

“Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, year are of more value than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:29-31)

Farthing was the lowest unit of money in the time of Jesus Christ and the fact that two sparrow (birds) were being sold for a farthing talk volume about the worthlessness of the bird. Yet the scripture assured us that as worthless as this bird was, none of it will fall to the ground without the knowledge of Almighty God. If unworthy sparrow are cared for so much by the Heavenly Father, how much more you, the beloved of the Father that was created in the image of God, purchased and redeemed with the precious blood of Jesus Christ? The hairs on your head are all numbered. This is the ultimate mystery of the care that our Father in heaven provides for His own people. The science reveals that hair is a dead strand that grew out of a living cell of our body, God can account of those dead strands and recognize them in their number; imagine the care He must have for the soul and the spirit He gave to us. The only thing we know about our hair in case of men is to wash it, apply oil to it to make it shine or in the case of women, to perm it or braid it to provide a beautiful background for our faces. No one can claim the knowledge of the number of hairs he or she possesses, but God knows the numbers of our hairs. And because the Lord hath been mindful of us, he will bless us… (Psalm 115:12) Your father knows your needs before you open your mouth and He is the one that can adequately meet those needs. The scripture admonished us to cast all our cares upon God because he cares for us. (I Peter 5:7)

COVERAGE OF LIFE BEYOND THE GRAVE

“And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Revelation 1:17-18)

John was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day when he had a revelation in the Isle of Patmos. He was filled with awe when he beheld the glorious splendor of the majestic presence of the Lord God. He could not stand the brightness of the glory he fell down at his feet as if he was dead. His personal introduction send chill all over the body of John. But there came the comforting words ‘fear not,’ and the accompanied assurance gives us hope that Jesus Christ, the Conqueror of death, the first and the last who was once upon a time lived in flesh, was dead and resurrected, and now alive for ever, that we shall one day be where He is. It was promised us in his word, “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:2-3)

THE COST OF DIVINE INSURANCE POLICY

The premium of secular life insurance is forever, you will be bill monthly or yearly as the case may be as long as the insured person lives but the premium of divine insurance policy is free. It has been fully paid at the Cross of Calvary about two thousand years ago when Jesus Christ, the Son of God died for the sin of mankind on the cross. He removed the garment of rejection from us and replaced with the garment of acceptance. He died so that we can live. He was made a covenant for us and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. (Isaiah 42:6-7) Jesus Christ is the evidence of love of God towards humanity. “For God so loved the word that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God. All things were created by him and for him. He is before all things and by him all things consist. Jesus Christ is our divine connection to the Presence of God. He is our advocator, pleading our cases before the Father.  If you know the Lord Jesus Christ and if you can follow His footsteps, salvation is sure and certain.  If you truly know the King of kings, anxiety will be a thing of past because He is there with you as a solution to your problem. He will honor your invitation when you invite Him to intervene in your situation.  If you know the Lamb that was slain, your sickness will be taken away because by His stripes we are healed.  The woman with the issue of blood had the knowledge of the Lord's ability and she said in her mind, "If I can touch the hem of His garment, I will be made whole." She touched His garment and she received her healing. If you know the Lord, though Satan and his fallen angels may harass you, tribulation may be terrifying, but be of good cheer for the Lord has overcome the world. Your portion will be counted among the victorious.

Perhaps you are wondering how you can you obtain this divine connection, the step is easy but it require a life-time decision. Jesus Christ said, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God … Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:3-6) Being born-again simply means: exchanging your sinful lifestyle for the peaceful life that you will obtain when you decide to walk hand in hand with Jesus Christ and continue in newness of life in righteousness and in holiness. This is how you can enter into the divine rest of God and dwell in the most secret place of Almighty God. Once you begin to operate in the presence of God, you are under the coverage of the divine insurance.
