Higher Than Angels

“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.” 
Psalm 8:4-5.

In our opening scripture, we see that God has made man a little lower than the angels. The word 'angels' there means, 'Elohim' in Hebrew which means God. This is why our opening scripture is translated in the Good News Translation as, “what are human beings, that you think of them; mere mortals, that you care for them? Yet you made them inferior only to yourself;  you crowned them with glory and honor.”  This reveals that man is only inferior to God and not to angels. There are many who think that man is inferior to angels, no, man is not.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:1-3 (GNT), “If any of you have a dispute with another Christian, how dare you go before heathen judges instead of letting God's people settle the matter? Don't you know that God's people will judge the world? Well, then, if you are to judge the world, aren't you capable of judging small matters? Do you not know that we shall judge the angels? How much more, then, the things of this life!”  This again shows that God made man in a higher class than angels because all angels are ministering spirits according to Hebrews 1:14(GNT), “What are the angels, then? They are spirits who serve God and are sent by him to help those who are to receive salvation.”
 
Therefore, if Jesus is higher than angels and we are as He is, it means that we are higher than the angels. The angels are sent to minister to you by helping you fulfill God's purpose for your life.

Instruction.
You can declare Psalm 91 over you and your household.

Doing the Word
Use your angels; issue out commands to them to help you in whatever you do.
