Open Heaven 11 April 2019 – You Need Divine Assistance written by Pastor E. A. Adeboye

TOPIC: You Need Divine Assistance

MEMORISE: “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” – (Psalm 127:1).

READ: Psalm 127:1-2 (KJV)
1. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it; except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

2. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

MESSAGE: Open Heaven 11 April 2019

For anyone to succeed in life, he or she needs the assistance of others. No one succeeds in life by being an island. If the assistance of fellow human beings can make a difference in a person’s life, how much more can divine assistance from the unlimited God. Divine assistance is the greatest form of support you can receive to help you fulfill your destiny and reach your goal. Only the Almighty God, who alone is self-sufficient does not need assistance from anyone.

Whenever God asks us to partner with him on any project, He is only trying to give us an opportunity to be blessed. We see this demonstrated when the Lord asked to use Peter’s boat in Luke 5:1?-10. One might think that without Peter’s boat, the Lord would have been unable to preach on the lake. This cannot be true because the one who walked on the sea could have done the same thing in order to preach. Open Heaven 11 April 2019

The Lord asked for Peter’s boat only because He wanted to make him a famous fisher of men! Just as it happened to Peter, divine assistance is available for whoever has been struggling to make it in life with no results to show for it.

Elijah is one man who experienced divine assistance in no small measure. It’s therefore unsurprising that he was able to do great exploits for God. During a time of great famine, God sent him divine assistance for his sustenance.

God said to him in 1 Kings 17:9: “Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth To Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee”.

Here we see that the prophet and the widow had nothing to do with the arrangement: It was divinely ordained However, the best thing about this story is that the two of them cooperated with God to fulfil His divine will. As a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I have a come to realize one thing: when God wants to bless a minister or his ministry, he or she does not need to collect offerings with long sermons.

Moses made a simple pronouncement when the tabernacle was to be built in the wilderness, and the people brought so much that he had to make another pronouncement for them to stop (Exodus 35:4 – Exodus 36:7). Through divine assistance, Moses received more than enough for his assignment, even in the wilderness. Beloved, seek divine help today and you will be settled. When you meditate on today’s memory verse, you will realize the futility of human efforts without divine assistance. May God grant you understanding of this truth in Jesus’ Name.

ACTION POINT: Open Heaven 11 April 2019

Ask for divine assistance in every project and assignment you are involved in.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Open Heaven 11 April 2019
1 John 5 – Jude 1,
Jeremiah 15:10-21

HYMNAL:
Hymn 8 – My faith looks up to Thee

1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!

2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm and changeless be
A living fire!

3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And grief around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.

4. When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul.
