Topic: HELP FROM ABOVE

Memory Verse: Psalm 121:2 – My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
Bible Reading: Psalm 121

Message: 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 ann, 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.

Hymn: O God Our Help in Ages Past
Points: 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, Isaiah 46, Isaiah 47, Isaiah 48, Isaiah 49, Isaiah 50

Title: O God, Our Help In Ages Past.
Chorus: null.

  1. O God, our help in ages past

Our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home.

  2. Under the shadow of Thy throne

Thy saints have dwelt secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defence is sure.

  3. Before the hills in order stood

Or earth received her frame
From everlasting Thou art God
To endless years the same.

  4. A thousand ages in Thy sight

Are like an evening gone
Short as he watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.

  5. Time, like an ever-rolling stream

Bears all its sons away
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.

  6. O God, our help in ages past

Our hope in years to come
Be thou our guard while trouble last
And our Eternal home.
