Ecclesiastes 10:8 (KJV) - Whoso
breaketh an hedge, a serpent
shall bite him.

To be bitten by a snake can be
deadly; the poison, if not treated,
can be lethal. God puts His hedge
of protection around your life,
however, you can cause little
breaks to appear, little holes
through which the enemy of
souls can come in by his cunning
craftiness, then fix his poisoned
fangs onto you, sinking into the
very fabric of your spiritual life.

How can you break a hedge?
*You can break a hedge by:
wrong ungodly attitudes
*You can break a hedge by
having sinful thoughts and ways
*You can break a hedge by
having unforgiveness
*You can break a hedge by
backsliding
*You can break a hedge through
disobedience to the will of God.
There is a story in the Old
Testament of the people of Israel
who, because of their sinful
ways, were bitten by poisonous
snakes. This is what God told
Moses what to do in Numbers
21:7 to 8 (NIV), “The people
came to Moses and said, ‘We
sinned when we spoke against
the LORD and against you. Pray
that the LORD will take the
snakes away from us.’ So Moses
prayed for the people. The LORD
said to Moses, ‘Make a snake and
put it up on a pole; anyone who
is bitten can look at it and live.’”
Look upon the cross of Calvary
and live, look to Jesus, by faith,
and live. If the serpent has bitten
you, if sin has had a hold on
your life, the cure is found in
Jesus Christ. Someone once said,
“Life is short, death is sure, sin
the cause, Christ the cure.”
My friend, how can you fix up
the hedge? How do you restore
His protection over your life?
Repent before the Lord, and ask
His forgiveness if you have
sinned. Let Him restore the broad
wall, let Him repair your spiritual
hedge, and let Him fill the break
in the hedge by His love, mercy
and grace. Walk in the spirit and
you will not gratify the sinful
desires of the flesh. As you do so
you will walk in His victory.
Today, may God cover you with
His love, and may He restore
your hedge of protection. So
instead of the serpents of sin
fixing their fangs on you and
biting you because of the
breakage in the hedge because
of sin, embrace God’s
forgiveness, so you may walk in
victory over sin and crush the
enermy ( the serpent of sin)
under your feet.
God bless you my friend.
