A. MEMORY VERSE: “The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD”. Proverbs 21:31
B. BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 6:16-18
16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
C. LESSON INTRODUCTION: Insurance is a thing provided against a possible eventuality. The Bible makes us understand that safety is of the LORD, Proverbs 21:31. Also, our Bible reading gives us a guide to how to get the supernatural Insurance which is more than any form of insurance than man can provide, Proverbs 5:8.
PHYSICAL INSURANCE
We see people going about with mobile policemen with AK47 guns and yet still get killed. In 1 Samuel 17:39-51, Goliath trusted in his might, and his military appliances but David trusted in God and got victory with one stone and a sling.
People who put their trust in the hands of men and end up disappointed.
PHYSICAL INSURANCE VERSUS SPIRITUAL INSURANCE
Physical insurance can fail because your life and belongings are in the hands of man and the arm of flesh will surely fail – Psalms 9:10, Isaiah 42:17. While the spiritual insurance depends on the power of your God. The Gid of Israel can never fail. For example, 2 Chronicles 20:15-22. All those who go from one native doctor to another seeking protection where there is no help, at the end, lose everything and end up in hell.
CONCLUSION: God is the only sure protection and safety. It is important to know God and rely on Him for everything, 1 Chronicles 5:20.
