Topic: THE ONLY SOURCE OF HELP

Memory Verse: Psalm 34:5 – They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
Bible Reading: Psalm 121

Message: Imagine how a wealthy man who is willing to do anything for his wife would feel if she were to go to one of their tenants.— a bachelor well-known for his philandering ways, to beg for bread. Ths analogy, as apt as it may seem, does not even come close to describing how horrible it is when Christians seek help from sources other than God.

When humans look away from God and begin to consider lesser beings, including the devil, for help, that is idolatry. Sadly, what many people do not know is that lasting help can only come from God and not from such beings (Zechariah 10:1-2). Our only true source of help is the Almighty God, with whom there is no impossibility (Luke 1:37). No wonder the Psalmist says in Psalm 121:1-2:

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

In 2 Kings 6:27, a woman had sought help from the king during a siege against Samaria. Thank God the king was wise enough to know he could do nothing of himself. His sincere statement shows the true vanity in seeking help from any source other than God. God, on the other hand, promised His children in Isaiah 41:9-10:

…Thou art my servant I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. Fear 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.

Beloved, examine yourself: from whom are you seeking help? You are making a great mistake if it is not the Almighty God. I am encouraging you to have complete faith in God for that help you urgently need; He will not fail you. Our memory verse today gives us this assurance. You too will testify from today, in the mighty name of Jesus. All you need is to be sure you have a Father-child relationship with the Almighty God and leave the rest to Him.

The Lord is your only true source of help. Cry to Him today. if you are yet to be born again, repent of your sins and confess them to the Lord. Surrender your Iife to Jesus Christ and then cry out to Him for whatever help you need. He will surely help you.

Title: Standing on the Promises of Christ our King.
Chorus: Standing, Standing,
Standing on the promises of
God my Saviour
Standing, Standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God..

  1. Standing on the promises of Christ our King,

Thro’ eternal ages let His praises ring:
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

  2. Standing on the promises that can-not fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By the living word of Go I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

  3. Standing on the promises I now can see

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.

  4. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
