THE
GREAT HELPER
Memorise:
My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. Psalms
Read:
Psalms 121:1-8, 121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from
whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord,
which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be
moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall
neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper:
the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve
thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve
thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Bible in
one year: Luke 8:1-9:20, Job 23:14-24:8
It has been
said that one of the common features of Christianity is the diverse conflict
that is targeted at a child of God from the moment of conversion; it presents
itself as a permanent companion in the journey of life, and appears to become
more intense as you progress in the Christian race. These conflicts may come in
the form of physical, emotional, and spiritual attacks. They could sometimes be
manifested as temptations, financial trouble, physical or health challenges,
vocational problems, obstacles and obstructions, sickness or death of a
loved one, stagnancy, discouragement, failure, depression, and family problems,
many of these may appear normal, but some are direct attacks on children of
God, to hate, despise, persecute, oppress, blackmail, and even kill them. Yet,
in the face of such malicious attacks, many Christians have persevered and stood
firm in their convictions, with great grace and in defiant faith. Such people
were able to stand in the face of evil holding on to God’s promises for help.
One of such could be found in Hebrews 13:5-6 that says,
“Let
your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as
ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that
we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do
unto me.”
I pray that
as you look up to God for help and assistance today, He will send help to you
and you will never be disappointed in Jesus’ name. Like the saints of old, we
are expected to build our confidence on the sure promises of God. King David in
his affliction said, “My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and
earth.” (Psalm 121:2) thereby revealing the source of his confidence. In the
above passage, the word of God says, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake
thee”. Because of this sure promise of God which can never fail, we may say with
confidence that the Lord is our helper, a sure and dependable help in times of
trouble. I decree into your life today, God will always be there for you as a
reliable ally against all evil attacks in the name of Jesus.
A simple
analysis of the statement “I will not fear what man shall do unto me”
implies the
inevitability of determined evil actions of men, but the Bible is saying that
even in the face of such evil threats, we should not become fearful but remain
confident, knowing that God will never fail us. However, there are conditions
that a true Christian must meet to guarantee His assistance. We must be free
from covetousness, and be satisfied with whatever we have. People with
uncontrollable desires for delicacies, designer wears, social status, high offices
or positions, and other worldly attractions, are usually a little desperate and
unstable. Such people will do anything, including lowering their Christian
standards, in order to retain positions that support their livelihood at all
cost. You will not be driven by fear to sell-out your birth right or backslide
into error in Jesus’ Name.
The
promises of God are perfectly reliable because “God is not a man, that he
should lie”, if God be for us, who can be against us? Who is he that will harm
you, if ye be followers of that which is good? Our confidence rests absolutely
upon the promise of God. Hallelujah.
Prayer
Point
Father,
my confidence rests upon Your Holy Word, please be there for me always in
Jesus’ name.
