GOD SENDS ANGELS



By Paul Dhinakaran

Dearly beloved,

The Lord says, “I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). According to this verse, in this new month, may God grant you double fold blessing which He has prepared for you.

Even before the foundation of the world, the Lord has ordained that all His will should be perfected in His children’s lives only for the good. This is His decree! In order to fulfill this, He dwells with you to bear witness that you are God’s child. He has prepared all good gifts for your life so that goodness and mercy shall always follow you.

To lead you into this good plan, He sends His angels along with you. He promises, "See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared” (Exodus 23:20). When you give your life to the Almighty God, He appoints an angel for you, to take you to the place or position that you need to receive the blessing that is in store for you. The devil can never push you away from this path. The Lord Jesus has said, "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven” Matthew 18:10).

Several years back, my father Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran saw this in heaven. He was standing before the throne of God. He saw thousands of angels coming up to heaven from the earth. Each angel was carrying the incense of prayer offered by the people of the earth. The Lord at once came to know of everyone’s prayer request and looked at them. Within a moment, He gave the answer and blessing to all those prayer requests brought by the angels according to each one’s request. What a wonder!

In Genesis 28:12-15, we see how the angels appeared to Jacob. When Jacob was fleeing from his brother out of fear for his life, he sees a dream in the wilderness. In that, he sees a ladder set up on the earth; its top reached to heaven. The angels of God were ascending and descending on it and above that the Lord stood and spoke to him about his future that He had decreed for him. Accordingly, Jacob who left home with just a staff in his hands returned back with double fold blessing (Genesis 32:10).

Dear one, today you may be troubled saying, “Oh, I don’t know what my future would be?” But the Lord keeps on witnessing about you that you are God’s child. He brings you to the place of goodness which He has already ordained for you, through His angel. From now, He is going to lift you up in such a manner that you will carry double fold blessing. You shall have double honour and blessing in the same place where you were ashamed. He is going to honour you in such a way that all the people are going to witness about you, saying, “He (she) is God’s child. God Himself brought him/her to this exalted position.”

In Psalm 91:11 we read, “He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” As said in verse, God will order His angels to carry you safely in all your paths and bring you to the place of blessing.
