TOPIC: HELP FROM ABOVE
MEMORISE: “My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.” – (Psalm 121:2)
READ: Psalm 121 (KJV)
1. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

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.

When there was a famine in Samaria, two women conspired to take turns to kill their children for food. After they ate the child of the first woman, the other refused to surrender her own son for food. The first woman cried to the king for help but he replied, according to (2 Kings 6:27) “…if the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? Out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?” The Psalmist is right in saying that his help comes from the Creator of heaven and earth, according to our memory verse today. Genuine help can only come from above.
The Lord said in Psalm 50:15 “And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.” Many people however, trust other humans, to their disappointment. The Bible discourages us from putting our trust in men. Jeremiah 17:5 says “…Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord” whereas verse 7 of the same chapter says “Blessed is the man that trusted in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.”
Many years ago, someone heard that I was building a house and volunteered to supply blocks since he was a block manufacturer, offering to let me pay at my convenience. The moment this man realised I was roofing the house, he began to pester me to pay for the blocks he had supplied, in spite of our agreement that I could pay at my convenience. I reminded him that he was the one who offered that I could pay at my convenience but insisted I had to pay immediately. I cried to God for help with a promise that I would never make such a mistake again and He rescued me.
Beloved, I prophesy to your life that the help which would not expose you to ridicule afterwards will come your way this season, in Jesus’ name. You must however put your trust in the Lord; you must choose not to have a ‘Plan B’ to your Present Help – the Almighty God. More importantly, you must surrender your life totally to Jesus Christ and abstain from all appearances of evil according to (1 Thessalonians 5:22). The Lord will send you help from above, in the mighty name of Jesus.
PRAYER POINT: Father, please send help from above today and don’t let me be put to shame, in Jesus’ name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 45-50
Open Heaven 13 November 2021 | HYMNAL:
HYMN 14 – JESUS, MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL
1. Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,
Hear me, blest Saviour, when I call;
Hear me, and from Thy dwelling place
Pour down the riches of Thy grace;
REFRAIN:
Jesus, my Lord, I Thee adore;
O make me love Thee more and more.
2. Jesus, too late I Thee have sought;
How can I love Thee as I ought?
And how extol Thy matchless fame,
The glorious beauty of Thy name?
3. Jesus, what didst Thou find in me,
That Thou hast dealt so lovingly?
How great the joy that Thou hast brought
So far exceeding hope or thought!
4. Jesus, of Thee shall be my song,
To Thee my heart and soul belong;
All that I have or am is Thine,
And Thou, blest Saviour, Thou art mine.
