THE PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF NEED- 29/01/2014

THE PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF NEED- 29/01/2014

The topic that was treated yesterday in the Open Heavens Devotional (Adeboye, 2014) was “EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE”. Today’s topic in the Daily Devotional is “THE PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF NEED”; the memory verse was taken from Philippians 4:19: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. ”. and the Bible Reading for today’s message  is given as Matthew 17:24-27. In order to observe our Bible in one year’s reading, we have been asked to read James 1-5 and Psalm 27. (Adeboye, 2014)
The message is quoted below for our usual discussion. God bless Daddy GO and God bless every one of us as we reflect on the message.

“The Lord is the Great Provider. He has provided for numerous people before and He will provide for the needy again and again. In John 6:5-13 we read of how the Lord provided food for a multitude. He can provide for your family as well. God's provision takes different forms. In this case, that which was available - a small meal was multiplied supernaturally as it was shared. After everybody had eaten, there were twelve baskets of extra food left over. There are times He provides by creative miracles - bringing into existence what was not available before. The case of money from the mouth of a fish as we read in today's Bible reading is a very good example. I have always believed that in every man's life, there is a river with a fish in it. I implore you to take soul winning seriously because there is somebody somewhere waiting to be witnessed to, in whose hands the Lord has deposited resources that will meet some kingdom needs. By the grace of God, the Lord has enabled me to catch some fishes for him, who in turn He is using to meet some of His needs. Those whom the apostles won to Christ brought everything to the apostles‘ feet for distribution among the saints. God loves you so much that you don't have to beg to possess anything. You will enjoy a deep sense of freedom when you realise that everything you need is in God's hands and that he can direct it to you as He pleases. During our annual convention a few years ago, I completely ran out of money because we usually feed the participants whose number we normally could not determine in order to draw up a specific budget. It was on a Thursday of the convention week which was to last till Sunday and we had completely run out of money. My wife ran to me and said, ”Darling, we need N5,000 now”. I told her to go and come back to me later. After she left, I said ”Almighty God, you heard that; I need N5,000 now”. Some minutes after the prayer, a man came and said, "I was just driving past and saw the activities going on here. I didn't know so much is going on here. Next, year, I would like to be a part of it.” As he turned to go, he dipped his hands into his pocket and gave me an envelope which I eagerly opened to find N1,000 in it. I was encouraged and told God that ”We have N1,000 down, now it is N-4,000 to go!” Shortly after that, two young people in the Church came with,‘ envelopes in their hands and handed them to me. I found N2,000 in each of them. This was how the Lord met that immediate need. I pray that before the end of today, the need that woke you up from your sleep shall be met by the Present Help in Jesus’ Name.”

Today’s Prayer Point as given in the Open Heavens is, “Father, I thank you because you are the Present Help in the time of need. Please meet me at the point of my needs today in Jesus' Name”. (Adeboye, 2014)

I just said this prayer point with the whole of my heart. What about you?

  7. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

    Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 46:5b : God shall help her, and that right early.

  18. Before a need arises for every child of God there is always a provision, so having him as our present help means he 's been aware of the situation and has answers to match. He's never late. Father I thank you for directing me in the path of fulfilling 2014 prophecies by actively engaging your word .Isa 62:7.
