The Ministry of Angels

The Ministry of Angels
 
The ministry of angels is a very important, foundational and fundamental part of our Christian faith. The reason is because every single person who believes in the existence of God demonstrates this belief through what we call the art of prayer. This means that we communicate with our creator through prayer in order to get results and answers for situations or issues within our lives. The bible gives an explicit teaching from Genesis to revelation about the involvement of angels in bringing answers to the prayers of God’s people. Every time in the scripture we are shown that when God answers prayers angels carry the answers to the individuals that have offered up the prayers unto God.
When Jesus was to be born, angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she was going to conceive. When Zachariah was going to father John the Baptist, it was an angel that brought the news to him saying your prayers have been answered. When Cornelius was praying in the book of Act and there was going to be the out- pouring of the spirit to the Gentiles, which is what we call the Christian church and the manifestation of the spirit to the Gentiles; it was an angel that came with the answer and said “Cornelius, your prayers and your arms have come as a memorial unto God”. Also in the book of Daniel we see this expressed very clearly when he prayed and fasted about certain things and after 21 days an angel came through and said I have come from the first day which you uttered the prayer unto God and a commandment was issued to give you skill and understanding and to confirm to you that this prayer has been answered by God. The examples above clearly show that angels are messengers that carry heavenly gifts and the intent of God to individuals that have prayed on the earth.
Angels are very important. In the book of psalm 91 it says God has given His angels charge concerning us. This means that it is the operation of angels in the life of a person that will make a thousand fall on their left and ten thousand on their right but only with their eyes shall they behold the reward of the wicked and no evil will come near their dwelling place. The reason is because the individual praying is conscious about the presence of angels and he has prayed for their release into his earthly space in order to activate such happenings. Therefore, in terms of winning souls or the spread of the gospel or the demonstration of the power of God on the earth; know that angelic beings will be assigned on the earth by God to bring about the manifestation of these things. Only those who understand clearly how to release or activate it will see the full benefit of it in the end times.
It is very important you understand the ministry of angels in this end times because demonic power is being unleashed on the earth in an unprecedented way in human history like never before. The spread of certain things that we see today and the validation of certain practices which ten years ago would have been forbidden in the society should tell us that we are dealing with things today on the earth whose origins are demonic. Therefore it is important we understand how to operate in the spirit and how to function with angels because it will go a long way to help us in our spiritual life and in our everyday life as believers.

Updated: Don’t Bind the Brook, Don’t Rebuke the Ravens - Simple Lesson in Obedience

  Over the years I have come to understand the place of simple obedience to the instructions of God, and the huge difference it could make in one’s life. I have also come to see how easy believers can be in disobedience, yet be able to cover up with some form of spiritual activity, then in the end attempt to pass on the responsibility for their failures on God.   This can possibly account for one of the biggest reasons why there are believers who seem not to be making progress in life in spite of their seeming spirituality. The situation is even more compounded when older believers who should set the example for younger believers fall into this group. The implication is that there will be a generation of young believers who cannot seem to find the proper alignment between the Christian faith and being productive in life.   The story of the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 17, clearly illustrates my point.  The Word of the Lord had come to the prophet to camp by the bro...

Blessed By Association - Updated

Abraham by God’s calling had become a blessed man walking in the blessing. God appeared to him, changed his name and gave him the covenant of circumcision. You would have thought that all this will happen to just Abraham and his family, but not so, the blessing as we see it (Gen 17: 12-14) was also for as many as were with Abraham at that time. They came into the lineage of blessing simply by association with the man Abraham, they were to be circumcised just like Abraham, and came under the same covenant blessing. These people who were associated with Abraham at that time, including his household servants, enjoyed the most of the covenant that God Almighty gave to him. It therefore goes to show that there are associations in life that will forever set you up for the blessing. That is why you must treasure the relationships that God brings into your life, and never take them for granted.  In one of the piece published on this blog,  Identity by association , it was emphasized t...

Flourishing in Hard Times

  No doubt we are in very challenging times, there seems to be crisis everywhere, and most economies in the world are affected. Many Christians have become casualties of the the economic hardship that is raging across the world, and worst still is that many seem really helpless even in the face of the obvious help that God has promised His people.   This piece seeks to highlight a few important points that could be of significance in helping the believer to flourish in these hard times.   1.      Know that your sins are forgiven and enter His rest   And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. Gen.26:1   The bible records that that there was a famine in the land and Isaac moved to Gerar. Gerar signifies a lodging place or a place of rest. Many believers have yet to come to that place of rest in Christ. They still live with a consc...
