PRECISE HELP FROM ABOVE
OCTOBER 9, 2024
TEXT: Psalms 121:1-2″I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.”
Beloved, one thing that is very sacrosanct for us to note in life is that everyone needs help. No single individual can claim to be self-sufficient. Our strength alone will fail us. We must be humble enough to acknowledge that we have no power of our own and call upon God for divine help.
Every great person you see today, basking in success, must have been assisted by someone sent by God for that purpose. We must also understand that at every juncture or chapter of life, there is a specific form of help that a person’s destiny needs to be divinely catapulted to the next level. Not every help is needed by you. You need to target in prayer the specific help your destiny needs. Don’t just seek all forms of help; know the one your life needs.
Many people complain that certain relatives or friends refuse to help them. However, it is essential to note that if God has not ordained someone to help you, that person will not be inclined to do so, regardless of how close they are to you.
Key Facts About Present Help
God understands our struggles. He knows what we need at certain times, even though we sometimes think carnally that we need something else. All He wants is total submission, and the help our destiny needs will surely locate us.
If you don’t “diagnose” the kind of help your destiny needs at a particular time, you will keep rotating in a circle without much progress. For example, if the help you need at a moment is financial empowerment to sell provisions and groceries, struggling to get into a banking job will be fruitless, and even if you land the job, it might bring frustration.
The devil always has a “substitute package” for anyone at any season if they fail to identify the kind of help they need. He will readily present you with an alternative that will truncate your destiny, except for God’s intervention.
If you don’t know the right location to be in a particular season, your present help will likely elude you. Being in Lagos when you should be in Akure is a recipe for potential disaster.
If you are not intentional about the kind of relationship to build at a particular season, it could be tough to access the help needed in that season.
The above, among many others, summarize essential facts about present help.
Keys to Receive God’s Help
Seek God’s face: When you are close to God, it makes it easier to know the path to follow. Tarry in the place of prayers to know the exact help you need and everything needed to get such help. (Psalm 121:1)
Trust God’s judgment: Believe that God is omniscient and cannot make mistakes. Regardless of the kind of help you feel you need, learn to align yourself with God’s agenda/purpose for you. (Romans 8:28)
Tarry patiently: Do not expect things to happen spontaneously. Learn to be patient and wait on God for that present help to locate you in the season you find yourself. (Habakkuk 2:3)
SEARCHLIGHT:
Don’t compare your journey. Identify and pray for your unique divine allocation to avoid unnecessary struggles.
PRAYER: The help that my life needs now, manifest by fire, in Jesus’ mighty name.
BIBLE READING: Jeremiah 45-47, Matthew 12.
