SURROUNDED BY GOD’S VICTORIOUS ANGELIC ARMY
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
Mark 1:13 KJV “And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him”
The word ‘angels’ is the Greek word ‘aggelos’ it means: a messenger; a pastor. Angels are divided into two major groups , firstly, pastors and secondly, the supernatural beings assigned to enforce God’s word on earth. These supernatural beings have the capacity to change form especially sometimes into wind and fire ( Psalm 104:4 ).They can manifest like a tornado or whirlwind, lightening ,plague (2Samuel24:15-17) earthquake or thunder(Rev.8:5). They can also take the shape of human beings and are sent to test our level of generosity and commitment to God's service . The scriptures say in Heb 13:2-3 NKJV “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.”
After spending 40 days without food in the wilderness, Jesus was refreshed by angels . The scriptures also speaks of an angel shutting the mouth of lions to protect Prophet Daniel (Dan 6:22). Angels assist ministers of the gospel in the dissemination of the gospel and when threatened ,they have a mandate to protect these ministers by every means possible (2Kings 6:15-17,Acts12:7-11). Angels also expedite the fulfillment of godly prophesies by servants of God (Gen16:7-11)they are also responsible for godly marriages (Gen 24:1-67)
Satan is a fallen angel because he rebelled against God (Ezek28:13-17). He was in charge of entertainment in heaven and his influence can be seen in the world's entertainment industry :he was given the right to choose but abused it and was expelled with a third of the angels in heaven who supported him (Rev.12:4,7-9).
In a bid to attain relevance and legalize his governance he overthrew Adam by causing him to rebel against God thus establishing Satan’s government on earth over humanity. Jesus Christ did not deny Satan’s kingdom on earth in Matt 4:8-9 NKJV “Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me." Jesus did not refute Satan’s claim in this dialogue but refused to deny His divinity. Matt 4:10 NKJV “Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.'" Jesus unequivocally declared himself God over Satan demanding to be worshiped by all. .
Humans are no match for angels, they are extremely powerful, and it takes another angel empowered by the Holy Ghost to overpower a fallen angel. Prior to man’s redemption through Christ, angels fought hard against Satan's army to enforce God’s will as in the case of Daniel in (Dan 10:13-20) the forces of darkness resisted God’s messenger for 21 days.
After Jesus paid the prize for our salvation , the Holy Ghost was given to man (Acts 1:8) and we regained our authority as rulers of the earth through Jesus Christ ( Matt28:18). Angels now possses the authority to resist Satan on earth . Satan has no power to resist Jesus, he is a creation of Jesus Christ (the word of God) therefore he cannot contend against his creator.Satan and his demons are not as powerful as religion portrays them. On judgment day , a single angel will be sent to imprison Satan (Rev.20:1) . Religion arrogates so much power to Satan and his demons as demonstrated in the so -called 'deliverance' services by religious leaders ; this is contrary to Jesus’ teachings in Luke 10:19. Satan has no power over the born again Christian (Heb2:14-15, Col 1:12-13, Matt10:8).Satan and his demons can only destroy a person by their permission , this is done through negative confession and attitude as a result of ignorance of God’s word (Matt18:18,Hosea 4:6) and association with the occult .
The born again Christian has access to God’s mighty angels ( Heb1:13-14) and they will continue to serve us as long as we keep declaring God’s word (Psalm103:20) .
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive angelic assistance for uncommon breakthroughs in Jesus name.
