NO EVIL WILL BEFALL YOU

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Psalm 91:10

“No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.”

Additional Verses

📖 Psalm 1:1-6; Psalm 91:1-16; Luke 17:17-20; James 4:7-17

Psalm 91:10 is an assurance to anyone who completely trusts or leans on the LORD. In fact, Psalm 91 declares how God takes care of all those who love the LORD and put all their trust in Him. No evil can befall you because Jesus Christ, in Luke 10:19 says, “Behold, l give you power to tremble upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” This actually means that from the day you became a child of God you ceased to be a victim to any of the powers of the devil. Jesus Christ made you a victor and an overcomer. It is sad because despite what the Bible says about every child of God, many continue to suffer from all forms of evil and yet this should not be the case. Because you are a new creation, created by God Himself for good works in Jesus Christ, you should reject all the deceptive strategies of the devil to subject you to himself, by declaring the Word of God. Our LORD Jesus Christ gave us an example when He was tempted by the devil during the forty days in the wilderness. During each encounter with the devil, Jesus Christ defeated him by declaring the Word of God until Satan saw that He was no match for Him. Remember that when Jesus Christ said that He has given you authority to tremble upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, it means that the same power and authority He used to defeat the devil is the same power and authority He gave to every believer and this power and authority is in the proclamation and declaration of the Word of God to every challenge you may face in life. Sickness and diseases and all forms of affliction, as well as every type of suffering are all tools used by the devil to torment children of God. When David says that no plague shall come near you, he means that any of the tools of the devil I have mentioned above should never come near you. God has provided you with a way out of every one of the devil’s strategies against you in His Word. You have even been given the authority to resist the devil. James 4:7 says, “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and then he will flee from you.” If you are one of those who still thought there are some situations which are exempt from the authority that Jesus Christ gave you, I would like you to know that this authority and power that Jesus Christ gave you is not only over some few evils, but it is over all evil including the devil himself. Once you begin to use this authority according to what God says in His Word, the devil will actually flee from you. This also means that every form of sickness, disease, affliction and all forms of poverty will also flee from you. Because you are a child of God and Jesus Christ took all your suffering upon Himself at the Cross of Calvary, there is no need for you to continue being a slave to any of Satan’s strategies. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, I thank You for the authority that You gave me to overcome all evil. I thank You for I know that with You by my side nothing can harm me for You have made me Your child. I thank You, for no evil will befall me when I trust in You. In Jesus Christ’s name l pray. Amen.
