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

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 portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
