Help from the Lord

Tuesday 3 February
Text: Psalm 121:1-2
MORE LESSON: Psalm 23:1 – 6

In Psalm 121, David makes a proclamation in the face of an imminent challenge, that must be a daunting issue. As individuals, a church and even a nation, we may be faced with daunting challenges but I want you to know that like the psalmist proclaims, Our help comes from the LORD which made heaven and earth: Verse 2. The implication of this is that the victory we get is neither going to be by power nor by might but by the Spirit of the Lord (Zech 4: 6). I want you to know that your victory and success this year will not be by your calculation, manipulation, intelligence or capability, because the abilities of men will fail. But those who trust in the Lord will be like Mount Zion that cannot be moved but abide forever (Psa. 125:1-2). In this nation, more than ever, there is the challenge to determine whether the Church of Jesus will have the upper hand or the kingdom of hell will take over. But Jesus emphatically declares, . . . upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it: Matt 16:18. The power and authority over Nigeria in the spiritual realm shall not be determined from the pit of hell but from the Throne of Grace. Jehovah has decided that the gates of hell will not rule over Nigeria. So no matter how much the enemies of the Church plot against the Body of Christ in Nigeria, they will fail miserably because our help is in the name of the Lord.

Today, I bring a word of assurance to you as an individual, family and nation. The assurance God gives you today is that He will help you. No matter what the situation is, you should have confidence and rest in the help of the Lord. People might be apprehensive and not take major steps because of fear created by events in the nation. But I want you to take giant steps and make landmark achievements this year, being fully assured that you have help from the Lord. Y our prosperity is sure by the help of the Lord, do not fear; your defence and security is also in the name of the Lord. This is the time to prosper and increase. Don't throw in the towel. Don't sell off your business, work, property or close down your life. This is the season of help and you will wax great by the help of the Lord, in Jesus’ name.
