Men Like Angels

Call To Prayer

Title: Men Like Angels

By: Daniel Peter

And now your servant says, ‘May the word of my lord the king secure my inheritance, for my lord the king is like an angel of God in discerning good and evil. May the LORD your God be with you.’” 2. Samuel 14:17 NIV

The operations of God with humanity is one that is beyond the knowledge of the natural man. Looking through scriptures, we will find men who were, and who will be. Though at a point these people live among humans as men, like Angels, they are time travelers, sent with a message for a generation.

We read of men like Melchizedek and Elijah, whose origin couldn’t be traced, and their lives, continued unlike natural men (Heb. 7:8). These are mysteries, and witnesses of the truth that life exists beyond that of mere mortals (Psalm 82:6). Our Lord Himself is an example of such men. In one of His interactions with the Pharisees, He mentioned “Before Abraham was born I am “(John 8:58). This statement isn’t just true of Jesus Christ because He is God, the same can be said of John the Baptist, for the Lord said of him in Matthew 11:15 that he is the Elijah that was to come (one who once lived, and is living then). My point is, the origin of some men predates their birth.

Apostle John encountered one of such men in heaven, who was helping him understand the visions he was shown. Revelation 22:8-9 states “I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!”. Notice the man, who was like an Angel, said, “who keep the words of this scroll”. The scroll at this time wasn’t published, as John was still receiving the messages. Therefore, this person was a future being who will read and keep this book. Yet, he was sent to the past to meet Apostle John and help contribute to the book he will later read.

In eternity, the realm of God, the past, present, and future exist as one. When we journey into this realm, the limitations of the natural realm are suspended, and we take up a form beyond Human. Enoch entered this realm and remained there, and the Bible said he was not. Elijah did and continued ministering from that realm (2 Chro. 21:12). Again, David was recognised as one of such (2Sam. 14:17). These have become like Angels in heaven, yet there are many as such on earth now (Heb. 13:2). Walking in the consciousness of God, which is aided by prayer and meditation, brings us into this realm, where we become like Angels, and can journey across time and realms of existence.

Prayer Point:

Let’s thank God for His word today. Let’s ask Him to help the body of Christ know the endless possibilities that exist in Him, and He should increase our expectations to receive these possibilities even as we seek Him in prayer and word study.
