The word for today is - Help !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Help !

 

Lets start this morning with helping someone, read Deuteronomy 15:6-8,For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee. If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. So, are you helping someone this season? You have to understand that Jesus came to serve, not to be served, are you an servant of the Lord? Or do you see yourself greater then, the greatest example of all, Christ Jesus ? Read (KJV),Matthew 20:28, "Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many", Or read (NLT),"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many."For this season walk by the Spirit, the Spirit of God. Get this, He came to the people in the form of a servant. You see the great I AM is showing us something, Jesus points us to his own example of want we should be talking, walking, and living as servants of the most High God. Its a command read Jeremiah 11:3-5, And say you unto them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeys not the words of this covenant,Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall you be my people, and I will be your God: That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O Lord. So,move today by the Spirit of God that dwells from within your heart. God knows the heart of every man !! Read John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Do you see that God knew that we needed help to be restored back to Him? We could not do it ourself, think about that for a second, man could not make no atonement for his own sins, No man was pure. Read John 10:14-15, I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. Jesus says, I give my life as an atoning sacrifice for their sins. I died in their place, to redeem them from sin, and danger, and death. Read the verses again,Jesus says I know they can not do it themself, so I know them just as the Father knows me. Wow, Jesus layed down Himself for us, we needed help. Thank you ! So, some people can not do somethings by themself, we have to help one another. For me, if I can help somebody, I know that my living is not in vain! A believer is an servant of the Lord,read Proverbs 22:1-11,A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life. Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail. He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor. Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease. He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. Whats in your heart this season ? Understand that, when Jeremiah was called to be a prophet to Israel, God declared that even before he was conceived, he was known by God and set apart for His divine purposes. Knowing that it is God who formed us, and called us to move forward, to do His will, read Jeremiah 1:5, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
