Your Helpers Shall Be Many!

Your helpers shall be many!
“And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.” 2Sam 11:15.

There are certain battles you cannot fight alone no matter how skillful, talented or strong you are. Uriah might have survived in the hottest battle but for the fact that people withdrew from him. There was no one to support him. The strength of any man is the strength of the people that are committed to him, people that are ready to help him. You can do what you don’t have strength to do if people are available who have the strength and are willing to help you do it. That is why God asked me to pray this prayer for you this morning that: Your helpers shall be many in Jesus name.

Your day is blessed.

Overcoming Discouragement

“And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.” 1 Samuel 30:6.

Discouragement means lack of courage to continue. Devil knows that he cannot stop you from achieving your goals unless he sowed the seed of discouragement; and he also knows that God does not work with a discouraged person. Devil is yet to find an answer to someone who is determined and persistent; so when he comes with discouragement you have got to find a reason to pick up your courage back. The Bible says YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS and ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE if you believe.

A business woman once had problems with her business because many owed her. One of the debtors asked her to come one day to collect a significant amount but on getting to the debtor, the person could not pay as promised. The woman became hurt and discouraged to the extent that she started crying when she got home. God opened her eyes and she saw some demons rejoicing; immediately she jumped up, wiped her tears and started making positive confessions and singing to encourage herself.

Beloved, you will get there but pick up your courage because a discouraged person will be stranded.
Have a nice day.

Two Kinds of sight

“And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servants said unto him, Alas, my master! What shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see, And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha” 2kings 6:15-17

The King of Syria sent soldiers to arrest Elisha and when the servant of Elisha saw the enemy, he was afraid. This is because he had one kind of sight but the Man of God prayed for him and when he saw what he could not see before his fear disappeared.

Beloved what you have seen is the challenge but the Lord has sent me to make you see what you could not see. What you have not seen is bigger than what you have seen. Behind the challenge is a big victory, a big success, a big promotion, a big celebration. When the enemy comes with sickness, God raises a standard of healing; when the enemy comes with poverty, God raises a standard of abundance; when the enemy comes with failure God raises a standard of success, when the enemy comes with barrenness God raises a standard of fruitfulness; when the enemy comes with a barrier, God raises a standard of breakthrough. Beloved even if you have seen what the enemy has come up with, don’t fail to see the standard that God has raised against him. Now what should you do, change your language, let your language reflect what God has done and not what the enemy is doing. This is because what you see and say comes to pass in your life.

Let your spiritual eyes be opened to see the victory God has wrought for you in Jesus name.
Have a nice day.
