STEEMCHURCH - ANGELS ON ASSIGNMENT

in #steemchurch6 years ago

Beloved,

He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.
Psalm 91:11-12

For most Christians, the topic about angels is not important. Therefore, little attention is paid to the study of angels, but It is important we understand the ministry of angels. This study will help us understand about them, what they do, and also increase our thanksgiving to the Lord.

Angels are created by God, but they are spiritual beings and are bound by God's law. They also have greater power and ability than humans. In the bible, Angels are called "The Firstborn of all creation " In the book of Job 38:4-7 we can see that the angels have been in existence even before the world was created. Angels are mentioned more than 100 times in the Old Testament and 165 times in the New Testament, this shows how important and useful they are. Yes, they are spiritual beings, but can also appear in the form of men.

Revelation 5:11 gives their numbers as "Ten thousands of thousands" meaning angels are innumerable, but the bible gives the names of two angels; Gabriel and Micheal. Just like I said earlier, they have greater power and ability than humans, some of them have wings to fly while others do not. They also have to ability to open locked doors and enter locked rooms. Certainly, angels are smarter and wiser than humans and can travel great distance quickly. God has also given them the ability to choose between right and wrong.

Suddenly, there was a bright light in the cell, and an angel of the Lord stood before Peter. The angel struck him on the side to awaken him and said, "Quick! Get up!" And the chains fell off his wrists.
Acts 12:7

Angels are ranked differently, but the greatest is Micheal, the Archangel and Seraphs. The Seraphs are stationed near God's throne.

The duties of angles are many. They carry out a variety of task;

Honor, worship and serve the Lord: Worshipping and praising the Lord is the main activity carried out in heaven.

Messengers:
The angels run errands for the Lord on earth for example, releasing Peter from chains.

Delivers:
The angels are assigned by God to deliver His children out of danger

Guiding believers:
They assist, protect, and strengthen the children of God. For example Daniel in the Lions den.

Executioners:
Angels are sometimes used by God to execute His plans 2 Kings of 19:20-34

Do you know that you are superior to angels in God's ranking? We are created to serve God directly, but angels are created to serve God by also serving man. In fact, one day we shall judge angels that is if we remain faithful to Him. This truly means we are created in God's image and likeness. We are bestowed with His mind and character that is why God Could trust us with such great responsibility.

Don't you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life.
1 Corinthians 6:3

In conclusion,

Aren't you amazing and unique? Remember, Lucifer was an angel who sinned against God, but was thrown down from heaven. How wonderful then that the Lord in His infinite mercy sent His only begotten Son to die for you and I? Isn't it amazing that God created the angels to be at our service and take care of us? Aren't we blessed? We owe it to Him to always worship and bless His name for He is worthy of our praise. Hallelujah

For it is written: He will cammand His angels concerning you to guard you carefully
Luke 4:10

Thank you for reading and God bless you all!!!

Great stuff! I love the old song that says

It's a song holy angels cannot sing
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
It's a song holy angels cannot sing
I once was lost but now I’m found

Casting Crowns sing this one in more modern times:

I have a song that the angels can't sing
You saved my weary soul from all my sin and pain and suffering
A song of the redeemed, I once was lost but You found me
Oh, I have a song that the angels can't sing

As great as it must be to be an angel, we are the REDEEMED!!

Amen! I love Casting Crowns, they are amazing.
