Ring Of Fire

 Zechariah 2:5

Our text passage shows God puts a wall of fire or ring of fire around His people.

God is the ultimate protector.

God promises to be a wall of fire around His people.

If God is around you and yours, it means He has circled you and yours for protection and to defend.

Since it is a circular presence of God, it means every aspect of your life will be protected and defended.

God's circular presence with us also represents the covenant He has with us.

God's ring of fire is meant to be around His people, His chosen ones.

The circle is the symbol of the covenant.

This is why ribs are semi circles like, on the left and one the right of the human body.

When a right rib and a left rib are joined or placed together, they form a circle or a ring.

The woman was created from the rib of a man to symbolize the covenant of marriage with the man.

Genesis 2:22

The woman is the creation the man was chosen to get into a covenant of marriage with.

This is why marital rings are circular, they represent the covenant in a physical sense between a man and a woman.

God has a covenant with His people through the blood of Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:16

Circumcision creates something of a circle around the tip of the organ of the male child.

Circumcision (physical) was God's idea and instruction to Abraham for all males to show His covenant with Abraham and all children of Abraham (the Israelites).

Genesis 17:21-27

The sun and the moon have a circular outlook.

I believe this is because God has a covenant with them.

Jeremiah 33:19-21

They stay where God has put them.

Covenant people do not leave the place or path God has put them, if they understand the covenant.

Anyone who understands the covenant will respect it, anyone who respects it will stay where God wants him or her.

The sun and the moon respect God's covenant and don't move away from where God has allocated for them.

Jeremiah 31:35

When God is in covenant with you, He stays and He fulfills His promises to you.

Don't give up on God, don't give up on the promises of God, stick with them, and you will experience the faithfulness of God.

God doesn't only put a ring/circle of fire around His people, He will also manifest as the glory within them.

Zechariah 2:5

Christ in us is the hope of glory.

Colossians 1:27

Glory and light are linked.

Isaiah 60:1

God will be the light in the midst of His people.

As darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the people, there will be light in the camp of God's people.

Isaiah 60:2

Glory is also associated with wealth, in these dark times God's people should flourish economically.

Isaiah 60:5

God has His covenant presence with His people just as the mountains surround Jerusalem.

Psalm 125:2

God also depicts His favor as circular/ring-like around His people.

Psalm 5:12

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
