SIN IS A HEDGE BREAKER

Written by Julie Inu Umoru
 
He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. Ecclesiastes 10:8
 
I am fearfully and wonderfully made by the God who does wonders without numbers. Glory be to God.
 
For anyone who is truly surrendered to the Most High God, there is an impenetrable hedge of safety and protection around them which is not visible to our physical eyes.
 
In the Book of Job 1vs6-11, when God asked satan if he had tried Job's faithfulness to Him. Satan responded and asked how could he, when God has a hedge around Job and everything that belongs to him. Job 1vs9-12.
 
Waooh, beloved, what this means is that there is a hedge of safety and protection around all children of God and their possessions.
 
What is this hedge therefore?
 
It is a Divine Protection against accidents, sicknesses, infirmities, afflictions, untimely death, failure, witches and wizards, and so on and so forth.

What then can break this hedge?
 
Sin breaks the hedge.
 
So why was Job afflicted by satan when God testified of his righteousness?
God allowed the devil to afflict Job just to prove his faithfulness to God. God also warned the devil not to touch his soul. Job 1vs12.
 
Samson's downfall was as a result of breaking the hedge. He loved and sinned with strange women severally, which was against God's will for his life. Judges 14vs2‐3.
 
Uzzah touched the Ark of God which he was not supposed to do, God was angry with him and smote him and he died on the spot. 2 Samuel 6vs6-7.
 
David broke the hedge once but quickly repented but suffered terrible consequences for that one act. Till date the house of David (Israel) is still fighting wars. God told David that the sword will never depart from his house. 2 Samuel 12vs7-10.
 
What does it mean for the hedge to be broken?
 
Children of God are protected or shielded by the Shikena Glory of God. Once you sin, God's covering of glory, departs and such a person is exposed to the devil and all his attacks and affliction. Nature does not allow any vacuum. If glory departs, pains and shame takes over. When God's covering of glory left Samson, he wanted to act as before but he never knew that God's glory had left him, and it was too late and the enemy who had been looking for him, set in immediately, caught him, and the first thing they did was to pluck out his eyes. Judges 16vs18-21.
 
Let's all repent from all our errors and sins committed at one time or the other, because, we all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory.  Roman 3vs23.
 
Again if we say we have no sin, we have no truth in us and so decieve ourselves. 1 John 1vs8.
 
Let Us Pray
 
·        Dear heavenly Father  thank You for this great reminder that we are Sinners who need to repent.
 
·        Father Lord, we repent of all our sins. We are sorry Lord. Father forgive us.
 
·        Father Lord, please restore to us the lost glory, and let Your Presence go with us.
 
·        Thank You Father Lord, for forgiveness, and for restoration by Your mercies that fail not.
 
·        Thank You Father Lord, for hearing and answering us in Jesus name.
·        Amen.
 
·        God alone is my Source of health and strength.
 
Memory Verse.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23
