MEMORY VERSE
«”Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” — Genesis 15:1 (KJV)»
GOD IS THE PROTECTOR OF HIS PEOPLE
When God called Abraham, He did not leave him to face life’s uncertainties alone. He promised to protect him, defend him against his enemies, and personally watch over him. God’s covenant with Abraham included both blessing and divine protection, assuring him that no opposition could frustrate His divine purpose concerning him.
Throughout Abraham’s life, God proved Himself to be a faithful Shield, delivering him from dangers, preserving His covenant, and guiding him every step of his way while on earth.
GOD FULFILLED HIS PROMISE
God demonstrated His protection repeatedly:
- Genesis 12:17–20 – God afflicted Pharaoh’s household to protect Sarah and preserved Abraham’s family.
- Genesis 14:14 – 20 – God granted Abraham victory over the kings and rescued Lot.
- Genesis 20:1-18 – God warned Abimelech in a dream and protected Sarah from defilement.
- Genesis 15:1 – God declared, “I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.”
These events remind us that God’s protection is both powerful and personal.
THE PROMISE FOR BELIEVERS TODAY
God remains the Protector of all who trust in Him. Though believers may face trials, the Lord never abandons His children.
The Scriptures declare:
- Psalm 91:1- 4 – God shelters those who trust in Him.

- 2 Thessalonians 3:3 – The Lord is faithful and will strengthen and protect you from evil.

Our greatest security is found in a living relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

- We can face the future without fear because God is our Shield (Genesis 15:1).
