Let Him Be Your Help
Memory verse: - Psalms 63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
Bible Reading: - Psalms 63:1 – 11
Message
The best help one can get is the one from God and not from man; man is limited and cannot help as desired if he himself had not been helped by God. Our God’s power is unlimited, incompressible, unrestricted and unstoppable. He has power to shut the mouth of ferocious lions; he can reverse the verdict of death and even added years to your number of days here on earth; he has power to discomfit your enemies; he opens the door of flourishing and prosperity and no one born of woman can shut it; he is the master over every situation; he is able to do exceeding abundantly more than you ask or think according to his power that worketh in us.
If you want to know how helpful, timely and protective God is, read about Daniel in the lions den; the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace; Mordecai and Haman; Saul (the first king in Israel) and David (the second King in Israel); Hezekiah at the point of death; children of Israel in Egypt and at the red sea; Peter under Herod’s bondage; Paul and Silas to mention but a few; and you will see how faithful God is in helping his people. King Solomon looked back at the faithfulness of God to his predecessors and commented that “ Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.” 1Kings 8:56
 We ought to learn from David how he cleaved unto God casting his cares upon Him day and night. In Psalms 63 of today he testified how he calls upon God early in the morning and meditate on Him in the night watches. He had diligent, constant and meaningful fellowship with God day and night; he had day watches as well as night watches; he cast his worries, cares and frets upon God who cares for his own; who never sleeps or slumbers; who speaks and no man reverses; who is able to do all things unhindered.
Cast away all the deaf and dumb gods that cannot deliver you in the day of trouble, and turn to God of heaven and earth – the God of Isaac, Jacob and Abraham; the father of our Lord Jesus Christ; the owner and shepherd of our souls; and begins to enjoy peace of mind and sure protection cum provision for all your needs. Get yourself attached to Christ, our only mediator and the link between man and God and your help in time of need shall be guaranteed. Let him be your help by yielding all to Him. He will not leave thee nor forsake thee even unto his eternal kingdom.
Confession of the Day
The Lord is my help; a very present help in times of need; I will forever lean and rely on Him and Him alone.
Prayer Point for the Day

In you Oh Lord do I put my trust; hear me when I cry unto you; never leave nor forsake me.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

Image
D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
