Topic: DIVINE HELP II

Memory Verse: Isaiah 41:10 – Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee, yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Bible Reading: 2 Kings 5:1-14

Message: The help of God usually comes from unexpected sources like in our Bible reading for today. You might be thinking that help would come from a particular place and then it comes from a completely unexpected source. God can send help to you from anywhere because He owns the world and its fullness (Psalm 24:1). The Bible tells us in Exodus 17:1-6 that God brought water out of the rock, meaning that He can send help from the most unexpected sources. Don’t think of how God will help you; just know that He will do it.

When I was to move into my first house at the Redemption Camp in 1985 – now known as The Open Heavens International Centre, it didn’t have any doors or windows and I wanted to move in before October 1. That weekend, we had a School of Disciples meeting and I could have easily raised the needed N50 from my students, since they were more than fifty in number. To me however, that would have been begging. When God called me to ministry, He told me that He would be my source. I just told them, “I need a miracle”. They all prayed for me and left. The following Sunday there was this young lady who came to my office and gave me money that she had been saving so that she could travel abroad. I accepted the money, prayed for her and she left. When I opened the envelope, it was the exact amount that I needed. One Sunday, I saw this young girl again, gorgeously dressed. She explained that she had just returned from London. Her friend’s parents took her abroad on holidays with them, as their daughter had refused to go without her. They paid all her expenses and gave her a shopping allowance. God used that girl to meet my need, then He used her friend’s parents to meet her own need.

You don’t need to calculate how God will send help to you; just tell Him what you need and trust Him. Whatsoever you may need help for right now, God will send it to you in unexpected ways, in Jesus’ name.

Hymn: Rock Of Ages, Cleft For Me
Points: Father, I don’t know how You will help me, but please send help to me, Lord.
Bible in one year: 2 Chronicles 12, 2 Chronicles 13, 2 Chronicles 14, 2 Chronicles 15, 2 Chronicles 16

Title: Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me.
Chorus: null.

  1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee!
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

  2. Not the labours of my hands,

Can fulfill Thy law’s demands
Could zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save and thou alone.

  3. Nothing in my hand I bring,

Simply to Thy cross I cling
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to thee fir grace
Foul to the fountain fly
Wash me saviour or I die.

  4. While I draw this fleeting breath,

When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
