MINISTRY OF ANGELS Part 2 – Ministering Spirits

 “Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14, NKJV)


This verse opens a deep truth about the invisible help God provides for His children. The word "angel" comes from the Greek word angels, meaning “messenger.” Angels are divine messengers and servants of God, created to serve His purpose, especially in relation to His people. According to Hebrews 1:14, all angels are ministering spirits—sent by God to serve, help, and strengthen those who are heirs of salvation.

Angels are not to be worshiped, and they do not act on their own will. They move in obedience to God's commands. Their ministry includes protection, provision, guidance, and delivering divine messages. Throughout Scripture, we see how angels appear during critical moments to serve God’s people.

A powerful example is found in 1 Kings 19. The prophet Elijah had just faced a great victory on Mount Carmel against the prophets of Baal. Yet soon after, he was overwhelmed with fear and discouragement when Queen Jezebel threatened to kill him. Elijah fled into the wilderness, sat under a broom tree, and asked God to let him die. But God had another plan.

As Elijah slept, “an angel touched him, and said to him, ‘Arise and eat.’” (1 Kings 19:5, NKJV). He looked, and there was a cake baked on coals and a jar of water. He ate and lay down again. The angel came a second time, touched him again and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” (v.7). This divine intervention gave Elijah strength to go on for forty days and forty nights to Mount Horeb.

This story shows the heart of God. When His servant was weak, He did not scold him—He sent help. The angel’s ministry was not flashy or dramatic. It was simple, quiet, and life-saving. God still ministers this way today. We may not always see them, but angels are at work, carrying out God’s assignments for our protection, comfort, and victory.

Prayer: Lord, thank You for sending angels to help me. Strengthen me daily and let Your help surround me in Jesus’ name.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
