The Gospel Faith Mission Int. Victory month. DAY 3: WEDNESDAY, 4TH JANUARY 2017 FOCUS: OBTAINING THE HELP OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE JOURNEY TEXTS: Jer. 31: 2, Acts 26: 22 INSIGHT FOR EFFECTIVE AND FERVENT PRAYERS


The journey of life is a great one. It is a great
race that is full of risks. It is a race of destiny.
It is full of manifold challenges and unending
warfare of different kinds. It is an earthly
journey that ushers one into eternity; either in
hell or heaven. That makes it either a great or
a terrible journey.
Marvelous help is available and
obtainable for every soul. Anyone who is
marvelously helped will become very
successful, impactful, powerful and useful. He
can never become a generation of tail. Divine
help makes anyone a generation of head.
Truly, one needs the help of God in this world
of manifold evils and challenges. Anyone can
become a living wonder in any age, if he is
marvelously helped. And anyone too, can
become a living reproach and a living
wanderer in any age if he does not enjoy
marvelous help. Concerning king Asa, the Bible
writes, “His name spread far and wide, for the
Lord gave him marvelous help and he became
very powerful (2 Chro. 26:15, NLT). The Living
Letters Version put it this way, “so he became
very famous, for the Lord helped him
wonderfully till he was powerful (TAY). God can
also help you wonderfully, till you will become
very powerful too.
So, in the journey of life, your life ends where
help ends. Apostle Paul writes, “Having
therefore obtained the help of God, I continue
unto this day, witnessing unto small and
great’’ (Acts 26:22) The Knox version puts it this
way “But thanks to God’s help, I still stand here
today, bearing my witness’’ It was the help of
God that made Apostle Paul to stand thick, tall,
magnetic and weighty all through. Sincerely,
he obtained the help of God that was timely,
adequate and total. Similarly, every person on
the journey of life needs the help of God that
is adequately and timely. And failures to enjoy
this kind of divine help; makes one vulnerable
and defenseless. You will lack the necessary
push. Your speed in life will be hampered.
Your progress will be arrested and impaired.
You will fail easily and fall badly. You may die
cheaply and prematurely. You may even
experience the sunset of your destiny.
Beloved, you need help. You can never out
grow help. You need people in your life
journey. There are people that need you also
in their life journey. You are created to need
and give help. You cannot travel the journey of
life alone. You will always need people and
God at every stage of your life. Yes, you need
marvelous helpers in your life journey. These
are useful, helpful, trustworthy, and
dependable people. They are destiny boosters,
promoters and defenders. They are the people
that are very crucial to your destiny. They may
be ordinary people planted on your path way
by God to render unusual and uncommon
help. They are capable, committed, concerned
covenants helpers. They are people that will
inspire and increase you. They are the people
that encourage you and stir you up positively.
They are the people that help to release the
giant in you or restrain you from doing wrong.
They are the people that provoke you to face
life challenges boldly. Truly, in your life
journey, you will always need this divine
helper. The ever present Helper is the only
ONE that can always be with you 24/7. He is
able and available helper. He is a loving
helper; powerful helper, oh what a precious
helper; providing perpetual helper. He is the
only one that can give you adequate and
timely help in your life journey!
