REAL HELP

-

 *Text ;* Isa 50:7


 *For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.* 


 *Everyone needs help,  that's how life is wired for us as humans.* 


There's nothing like a self-made man. Anyone who claims to be self-made is either an ungrateful fellow or an ignorant bunch or a combination of both. 


The fact that you didn't jump down from heaven but have to be born through someone's womb  (after two individuals have part with their sperms and eggs) is a proof that God wants us to be interdependent.


As you progress in life, you'll discover you'll need someone's help at one point or the other. It doesn't matter your class, age or status, you can't exist alone because no one is created an island.


Having said that,  I want you to know that no man can actually help you if God has not helped you. 


Psalms  60:11 says Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. The same thing was repeated in Psalm 108:12. God is the only One who gives  real help. Now, God can use any medium to discharge this task. 


It is good to be grateful to God and to appreciate the medium He is using but it's very important to know that the true source of any real help is God.


Whatever help you receive from man without God is a help in vanity. When you put your gaze on man for help you will be grossly disappointed, but when your gaze is on God, He can even use your enemy to help you.



 *BIBLE READING* : 


Isaiah 50:7-10.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father, I pray that you forgive me in ways I  have trusted in the arms of flesh for help.


2  Help me to always fix my gaze on you for help.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
