We belong to a kingdom that promises unstoppable and continuous progress, no matter the oppositions we are faced with in life Pro. 4:18. But scriptures make us to understand that this can only happen as we accept the responsibility to enforce it Matt. 11:12. Among all the forces of the kingdom to enforce our continuous progress, wisdom is scripturally identified as the most important Pro. 4:7; Eccl. 7:12; 9:16-18.

Biblical Wisdom for Divine Protection.

Scriptures makes us to understand that being under divine covering is the only guarantee for divine protection Psa. 91:1-7. Divine covering is the stronghold of the believers’ protection. In essence, when the believer is under divine covering, there is no evil, harm or mishap that can touch his life.

1. One must be born again Jn. 3:3-5; Eph. 2:19; 1Tim. 5:8.

The choice to become born again makes an individual to become a member of God’s household. This makes it God’s responsibility thereafter to watch over and keep the individual from thence. In essence, becoming born again automatically brings an individual under divine covering.

Many wandered away from God our Father, is the reason for the calamities and negative experiences in their lives, it time to return back and come under divine covering again.

Requirements to Sustain Divine Covering.

1. One must continue to walk in obedience to God’s commandments Jn. 14:21; Pro. 18:21; Psa. 91:2.

The commandment of God is light, walking in it is walking in the light Rms. 6:23. When the believer walks in the light, every power of darkness is cleared off his life Jn. 1:5.

Serving God secures God’s blessing on an individual. God’s blessing is a guaranteed antidote to the forces of destruction in life. Serving God means to become committed to the pursuit of the interest of God and His kingdom, and that is the salvation of the unsaved Jn. 3:16; 1Tim. 2:1-4; 2Pet. 3:9. In essence, how passionate one is towards salvation of souls is the true indicator of one’s heart of service for God.

• Tithing and giving to the needy around us Mal. 3:10-11,17-18; Psa. 41:1-3.

Tithe is covenant obligation that guarantee against all arrows of the wicked in life. Also, giving to the poor is not a way of helping the poor, but a covenant that preserves one’s life from the forces that destroys and all the intentions of enemies. Therefore, it is not wise to close one’s eyes to the poor around one’s life. Remember, no matter one’s level, there is someone around that one is better than.

Praise will always invoke divine presence, and at God’s presence all forces of darkness and opposition melts and scatter Psa. 68:1-2; 114:1-8. In essence, when a believer adopts the lifestyle of praise, he automatically walks over all assaults of the wicked by reason of the presence of God he commands around his life.

In conclusion, there is nowhere in life that is safe 1Jn. 5:19. This is because everywhere has evil, wickedness and danger lurking and waiting to devour. The only safe place in life is being under the covering of God, and any man can come under this covering.
