Best Protection in the World From the design of the so-called unsinkable ship “RMS Titanic” to the modern-day invention of safety airbags in cars, throughout history mankind has always sought to achieve perfect protection. But even after all these years of engineering-brilliance have we truly achieved the elusive ‘perfect protection’? Before going into the heart of the subject matter, let us walk through the pages of history and briefly re-visit some of the tragedies that grabbed the world’s attention. Road Transport On 31st August 1997 a Mercedes (W140 S-Class) car carrying the Princess of Wales, Diana met with an accident in Paris, France. Diana sustained injuries and later died in a hospital. This specially-engineered vehicle had at least eight advanced safety systems including anti-lock brakes, electronic safety program and air bags. However, none of the passengers survived.Air Transport On 8th March 2014 Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 bound for Beijing disappeared after departing from Kuala Lumpur with over 200 people on board. Numerous theories about the disappearance have been proposed. With no conclusive evidence, all passengers on board are believed to have stepped into eternity.Water Transport On 15th April 1912 the unsinkable luxury ship, RMS Titanic, struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean. Although equipped with advanced security and safety features such as remotely activated watertight doors and watertight compartments, water gradually filled up the ship and eventually sank into the bottom of the ocean killing more than 1,500 people. The word Titanic was itself an attack on God. In Greek mythology Titans were a race of people who fought against God. So the word Titanic was given in honour of the Titans. One sailor opined, “Aren’t we tempting God by naming this ship the Titanic.” It was an expression of man’s arrogance and rebellion against God.If one thing history has taught us through the above disasters, it has taught us that putting our trust in man-made things is not always the wisest thing to do. The Unseen World Someone very rightly said that there are more things to see in the unseen-world than there are to see in the seen-world.This is a true story of Alicia (not her real name) who was a former witch and high priestess of a Satanist group called ‘The Brotherhood’. In one of her last gatherings with the group, the high priest (leader) told them that there was a Christian family close by who had been a hindrance to Satan. The high priest told the group that they were to go in their spirit bodies and murder them. So the group sat in a circle with lit candles and consciously left their physical bodies, going in their spirits (the term used for this practice is “astral projection”) to the house to kill the entire family. Surprisingly, as they arrived at the house of this family, they were unable to move forward. The entire area was surrounded by massive angels standing side by side. Any weapon used against the angels merely rebounded off of them leaving them completely unharmed. As Alicia looked at the angels, one of them looked into her eyes and said in a loving voice, "Won't you please accept Jesus Christ as your Lord? The path you are taking leads to destruction. Satan really hates you; however Jesus loves you very much that He died for you“. This was the last straw for Alicia. Pretty soon she quit Satanism. The family would have had no clue of the battle raging outside their house. And yet it’s very real. However, not every family has angelic protection over their houses. The Bible says in Ephesians 6:12 (NIV) that, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Divine Protection
Only Two Kingdoms There are only two kingdoms in this world. One is the kingdom of light belonging to Jesus Christ and the other is the kingdom of darkness belonging to Satan. Each one of you reading this article belongs to either one of the two. There is no middle ground or grey area. In Matthew 12:30 (NIV) Jesus said, “Whoever is not with me is against me.”If you do not belong to Jesus, now is the best time to come to him. Repent of your sins and let the blood of Jesus wash away all your sins and ask Jesus to come into your life. This is the best life insurance policy that you could possibly sign up, because the moment you die and step into eternity, you can have the assurance of entering into heaven forever. To
conclude, best protection in the world is not found in something; it
is found in Jesus Christ!! |
