*WHEN THE HEDGE BREAKS

*TEXT:
Job 1:10 “Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?”*

Job was a man surrounded—by divine protection, heavenly favor, and spiritual insulation. Even Satan recognized it. In Job 1:10, he doesn’t just accuse the Job of false loyalty; he reveals something profound: God places hedges around His own. These hedges are spiritual boundaries—shields that prevent Satan’s free access into the lives of the righteous.

But suddenly, in a day, the hedge was lifted.

The storms came like a flood—loss of livestock, servants, and tragically, Job’s children. In one moment, Job was secure and celebrated. In the next, he was broken and bewildered. Many believers can relate. Life was good—until the hedge broke.

Here’s the hard truth: God allows tests even for the righteous. But He never allows them without purpose or oversight. Satan can only touch what God permits—and only for a time. When Job lost everything, he didn't lose God. The hedge was broken, but the presence of God remained.

When your hedge breaks—when life caves in unexpectedly—remember this: you’re not alone. If Satan is accusing, God is watching. And even in pain, He has a plan.

Maybe today you feel like Job—hedge shattered, dreams scattered. But be encouraged: God restores. God rebuilds. And God rewards. The broken hedge is not the end of your story.

*Prayer*
Lord, when the hedge breaks, be my refuge. Remind me that nothing touches me without Your permission and purpose.

*Declaration*
I am surrounded by God’s presence—even when the hedge is broken. What the enemy meant for evil, God will use for my lifting in Jesus mighty name Amen 🙏🙏🔥🔥

Good morning great people of God

Happy new month

*TOPIC: TRUE REPENTANCE*

*TEXT: EZRA 10:31-44*

*KEY VERSE:* _*"All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children" (EZRA 10:44).*_

St. Augustine lived a wild and immoral life in his early years. At the age of 32, he was converted in answer to his mother's prayers. Shortly after his conversion, he saw a woman he used to know. The moment he saw her, he ran away. She called out: 'Augustine, it's me! Don't you recognise me?' He replied, 'Yes, I know it's you, but it's no longer me!' A changed Augustine had truly repented!

Scriptures and experiences show that there is genuine as well as false repentance. If you want to make your way right with God and prepare for heaven, you need to ensure that your salvation is borne out of a deep-seated and authentic repentance and not a deceitful or a pretentious one. Our text is a classical portrait of genuine repentance - one that compels heartfelt sorrow for sin before God and enacts prompt action to correct their ways according to the word of God. The focus here are the Jewish exile returnees who had gone into mixed marriages with pagan women in contradiction to God's word. Ezra summed up what they should do: correct the situation and get right with God: "Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers... and separate yourselves... from the strange wives."

The corollary is unmistakable. Genuine and acceptable repentance before God is accompanied by brokenness of spirit, prompt action to correct or make right the sins even when it looks difficult to do. The path of repentance and restitution provide an unfettered access to the mercy throne of God where transformation and triumph abounds. It is open to all and sundry regardless of race, age, gender, social status or spiritual position, colour or creed. Time or place is inconsequential.

It is noteworthy that the repentance and restitution in our passage involved prie
