TEXT: “And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper” (2Chro 26:5).
I welcome you to a week of divine help. Your God and my God will help you this week. Where the help of man failed, God will step in this week and give you the testimony you long desire, in Jesus name.
Today is MTD Hour of Mercy. It is a weekly meeting with God who visits us where we most need Him at the appointed time – 12pm-1pm every Monday. My prayer for you is that God will prove that He answers prayer in your life today, in Jesus name.
Last week Friday, precisely 5:30pm, the Holy Spirit spoke clearly to me that God will stretch forth His Hand of help to us in the MTD Family this week. I picked my jotter quickly and jotted it down.
The truth is that, we all need the help of God in running the race of life. Whether you are rich, poor, tall, short, black or white, whichever category you belong to, you need the help of God to achieve purpose and fulfil destiny. Our effort as humans is always limited. Whatever situation we face in life, God’s desire is to help us. He promised to do that in Isaiah 41:13. He is a Faithful God. He will not disappoint any of us who cry unto him for help today, in Jesus name (Ps 34:17). But you have to show that you need Him to help you.
How?
THROUGH PRAYER
One of the secrets to securing the help of God is prayer. Hebrew 4:16 says “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” God has given us permanent invitation whenever we are in need of anything but it is our individual choice either to go and get helped or forsake it.
The secret of king Uzziah’s success in today’s anchor scripture was because “he sought (prayed to) God in the days of Zechariah… And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabian that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunmis (2Chro 26:5,7). Prayer is getting God to intervene in any situation on the basis of His Word. You need the help of God to overcome the enemy who wants to oppose your progress this year. I want you to take your accuser, the devil to the courtroom of heaven for judgment. Once you are justified, the help of God is then released to you.
ACTION STEP:
Go before God between 12pm and 1pm today and genuinely ask Him to help you in (mention the area you need His help). I guarantee you by the Word of God, you shall return helped by God, in Jesus name.
PRAYER: Your help is arriving today, in Jesus name.
