GOD'S HELP

Text: Psalms 33:20
Our soul wait for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

What would be your sincere counsel for a man who is struggling  in a sinking mud? You realise that he is stuck, and the more he  struggles to come out, the more he sinks down below the earth surface?

The very simple counsel to give this man is to relax and wait for help. That's his only best option. 

Sometimes you find yourself in this kind of situation where every single effort you take seems ineffective. It appears like you are coming out of one trouble to enter into another. Just like a man in a sinking mud, all you've got to do is to cry and wait for help. Stop struggling, you can't help yourself.

Unlike the widespread lies and unscriptural statement that says, God help those who help themselves, *God does not help those who help themselves, He only help those who wait on Him for help.* 

Once upon a time, two women in Samaria, Israel made an attempt to help themselves out of their predicament. In an attempt of self-help, they eventually did the unthinkable.

The famine became so severe that Inflation rate rose so high and prices of commodities skyrocketed. They don't even have option of importation because the real cause of the famine was besiegement by the enemy. 

Things got so bad that two women agreed to kill, cook and eat their own children. One actually did. Perhaps she had  been deceived by the other woman, but the fact is they became cannibals because of famine.

While the aggrieved woman whose son had been killed was seeking 'justice' for the seeming 'injustice' by the other woman who refused to follow agreement to kill her own son for supper, she called upon the king to narrate the situation. 

She cried, "help my Lord O King" The King, having not heard about the gory situation replied, " If the Lord does not help you, where can I find help for you?"

Today, the main point I will like you to take away from here is that you should cease your struggles in trying to find yourself help at all cost. Go to God. He's our only HELP. The king cannot help you, your connection cannot, your permutating skills cannot, your money can't even help you-only God has got the help!

You may even get yourself into more troubles like the women in Samaria when you don't surrender to God. 

Relax yourself even in the midst of the bad situation, help is on the way.

 *All of our help comes from the Lord, simply look unto Him.* 

HAPPY NEW MONTH

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
