THE LORD IS MY HELP

-


Text:  Psalms 121:2


 *My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!* 


 *Real, lasting and true help only comes from the Lord.* Any help that is not sent from and by the Lord will not be able to resolve your problems. The Psalmist knew this too well and he prayed thus: *Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man(Psalms  60:11).* Man may give you help, but it will not achieve so much if God is not in it, in fact the Psalmist said that help from man is vain.


Though God will not come down physically to help you, but he does send His help to us through man and angelic assistance. *When you realise that all your help comes from God, you will become more frequent and fervent in prayers,*  for that is the only surest medium to receiving help from God. 


There is no single man on the earth that does not need help on a continuous basis. The only difference is that some admit their need for help while some don't. Those who admit their need for help are "the humble" and those who do not are "the proud"  *While the humble always look up to God for help, the proud is always sufficient in himself.* 


Just as it is not possible to look up and down simultaneously, so also you cannot be looking unto God and man for help at the same time. Though, God will use a medium to help you, but you must not set your gaze on any man for help. Several reasons will always bring about dissapointment when your gaze is always set on man for help. 


Are you in need of help today? 

Have you trusted in man's help and you have been dissapointed? I have a good news for you. Jesus, the great Helper is always and readily available to help you. He will arrive just in time. He will fix you up. He will truly give you a lasting help. 


Help is on the way for you TODAY!


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father Lord, forgive me for trusting in the help of man.


2. Father Lord, send me your help today.

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
