I overheard a Mummy call God, an Overprotective father. Please, let's check the meaning of *Overprotective*: having a tendency to protect someone, especially a child, excessively.
My picture of an overprotective father is one that is always in your matter. He doesn't give you space to breathe and God help any person that wants to stand as a threat to the child, you will face the Father before you come close to the child and that is where I am going to.
The Lord knows I have always been scared of anything to everything (N.B: You can check Jesus, My Protector 1 & 2) however, Jesus caused a transformation in my life that drove that fear away from me, as far as the heavens are from the earth..
However, sometimes, I get scared of the spiritual realm, when it's time to sleep and I can't control much in my dreams, I cover my self with the blood of Jesus as many times as possible, then, plead the fire of the Holy Ghost to protect and raise a hedge of Fire around my dream life, it's not funny...
But, when that Mummy called God, an Overprotective Father, something resounded in my heart. If I call God an Overprotective father, that means, not just anyone comes near me, this means God screens anyone that comes 1000m close, he screens those I call my friends, so much that when their hearts start to change and I don't know(because I don't read people's heart), he starts to show me reasons and starts to tell me to watch out and when necessary cut them off. Now, this is just in the physical, talk more of the spiritual where Jesus is the head of all principalities and powers, and everything, everyone, and anything bows to him from the highest heavens to Hades, the lowest of hell, including under the sea.
If I have family members that are the heads of evil and good, then no evil is permitted to touch me, except they allow and every good is my portion in full measure. Imagine, my father is the head of kidnappers, which kidnapper will dare to kidnap me, infact once they hear my name/surname, fear would run down their spine and if they even dare, the person's end is at hand.
Now, I am the child of the Greatest and the Highest being plus he is overprotective in nature, meaning He's all in my business and guess what, I am not to pray for protection out of fear but out of an understanding of who I have as a Father. An overprotective father means, even when I am tired of his presence(which I can never be, by the mercies of God), his protection is 100% standby.
Please note, I did not say we should no longer pray for protection, rather, when we pray for protection, we do not pray from the angle of fear but from a depth of understanding of who we call and have as a father.
