A VERY PRESENT HELP 2

-
Text : Psalms  46:1 

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

That God has used someone to be a blessing to you doesn't make the fellow your source of blessing. Ultimately,  God is your source.* 

God is the only help that can never fail. Be grateful for help received from man, but don't look up to man for help. If God did not help you, man cannot help you, because vain is the help of man. (2 Kings 6:27, Psalms 60:11).

At times, men can be of help to you (because God permitted it so), but man will never be there always.

Infact, most times, man always disappear when you need him the most. The only ever present help is God.

Jeremiah 17:5 says: *“Cursed is the person who trusts in mankind, who makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the LORD.* 

In this life, you will always need help, but your only assured help,  which will never disappoint is God.

God is your refuge and strength, your very present help in trouble,  cling onto Him. Look unto Him for all of your help, and be rest assured that He can use even your enemy to be a blessing to you.

Bible  Reading:

Psalms 46:1-11.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, please send me help from your Holy sanctuary for vain is the help of man.

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
