We all need security for our lives and property which is the reason why people secure themselves against attack of armed robbers, invasion, insurgency, burglar, thief, intruder and many more. Security men, operatives, outfits are being employed for safety purpose apart from government security provision through police, military and other security agencies.
But, our God is the greatest watcher man that neither sleep nor slumber.

Psalm 121: 3 -4
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

God is the only man that can never fail to keep you from enemy’s attack, both physically and spiritually. He will not only secure your life from harm or danger, but also keep you alive.
To ensure adequate security of lives and property, formation of Security Associations and groups are used for protection of people in different location, territory, domain, community and society at large. Few to mention among security groups and associations are Odua People’s Congress (OPC), vigilante group and recent inaugurated Amotekun Security Operations in South Western region and others.
There has never been permanent solution to insecurity problem despite their campaign and activities. It is only security of God that is most reliable and dependable.

Psalm 127:1b
Except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

So also, external aggression and insurgency, Joint Task Force (JTF) created to ensure protection of citizens from attack of Boko Haram, kidnappers and other assailants especially in Northern region of Nigeria have not been able to achieve their objectives due to persistent attack, killings, kidnappings, massacre and many vices that is now prevalent.
But, there’s power in the hand of God to secure his own people and destroy these enemies.

Zachariah 2:5
For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

Another form of security is fortification of environment, buildings, homes, structures and properties against external attacks by using sophisticated door or lock, bullet proof vehicles, armored protection and others. Surveillance system has also been adopted to watch over their environment and vicinity via CCTV in an enclosed room purpose to detect or discover intrusion or incursion by enemies. All these are not comparable to his security provision; his name is a shield to the righteous.

Proverbs 18:10
The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Moreover, security officers or personnels are fully employed or contracted to ensure proper security is ensured and they work on 24 hours daily surveillance duty.

Psalm 20: 7.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

It simply means that only the name of God can secure and putting trust in mere mortals is suicidal.
The use of personal body guard, security aides and special operatives as full time watch men cannot be exempted from trust in arm of flesh. While some people put their trust in spiritual people, charm and others that will fail them.

Jeremiah 17:5-8
Thus saith the LORD; cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
