I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from?  My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2”

The Lord said to Moses, “Look, I’m going to rain down food from heaven for you.  Each day the people can go out and pick up as much food as they need for that day.  On the sixth day they’ll gather food, and when they prepare it, there will be twice as much as usual.”

God meets daily needs daily!

You look at tomorrow’s demands, next week’s bills, next month’s calendar.  Your future looks as barren as the Sinai Desert.  “How can I face my future?” you ask.

God tells you to look up!

Trust Him.  Make it your day changer.  Give your attention to what God is doing right now.  Don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow.  Mark 7:37 says, “God has done it all and done it well.”

Faith! Be willing to admit to God where you have taken a wrong turn

Make your request known to Him

One of the things the people of Israel overlooked was the fact that when they grumbled against Moses, they were really grumbling against God. More than likely, none would admit to this. If asked, they would totally deny it, and so would we. After all, Adam failed to take responsibility in the Garden of Eden. When God asked Adam why he had disobeyed, Adam began to blame the woman God had given him. The best thing you can do today – especially if God has caught you grumbling – is to take responsibility.

Many of our dads would tell us, “When I talk to you, stand up like a man.” That is good advice for a generation that seems bent on creating excuses for their acts of violence and anger. Be willing to admit to God where you have taken a wrong turn. Then pray that He will guide you back to a safe place – a place where you can prosper and grow in every area of your life.

For years, the Israelites had complained about their Egyptian bondage. Finally, God began to move them and set them free. However, no sooner had the waters of the Red Sea settled behind them than they began to grumble. First, they needed water to drink. Later, their issue was a desire for meat.

When they reached Marah, they found a pool of water, but it was bitter, and thoughts of replacing Moses filled their minds. Isn’t it a little odd that after they witnessed God’s mighty deliverance, they would fail to believe He had the ability to provide for their every need? However, instead of calling out to Him for help, they threatened Moses.

The next time life turns rough and seems ragged along the edges, refuse to become mad at your spouse, children, or even your superior at work. God holds your very life within His hands, and He knows your every need. Make your request known to Him, and He will provide sweet water – enough to refresh and renew you.

Record your thoughts, learn to take notes during sermon

Worship is a way of life

One of the most exciting things you can do in your Christian walk with the Lord is to keep a journal of all that He is teaching you. Exodus 24:4 says, “Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord.” In other words, he did not want to miss or forget anything. He took notes! If he were attending church with you, you could expect him to pull out a notebook and start jotting things down. Why? God directed Moses to do this because he was the one who would communicate what God said to the nation of Israel.

Today, godly men and women teach God’s truth, and we would be wise to pick up the habit of taking notes, as God taught Moses to do. Actually, the human mind has to hear or record a fact at least three times before it is committed to memory. Sometimes, it can take hearing a fact up to fourteen times before it is actually stored in our knowledge base.

This is why when you walk up to your pastor at the end of the worship service and commend him on his sermon, you pray that he does not ask you to repeat his main points back to him. It also is the reason you can gather over lunch with family and friends and exclaim how much you learned at church, but when you are asked to tell what you thought was the highlight, your mind goes blank.

Learn to take notes. Record your thoughts, and then, when you are alone with the Lord, ask Him to affirm what you have heard in and through His Word. Godly messages never conflict with what God has written in the Bible – it is the infallible Word of God. This means that it is God’s Word to us, and nothing about it can be changed or taken away.

We live in a devious world because Satan is constantly enticing us away from God’s truth. As you worship the Lord, ask Him to make you aware of the Enemy’s subtle and dangerous scheme. There is only one way to worship God, and that is with the entirety of our hearts and minds.

Worship is not a place or an event. It is a way of life.

May God Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all their enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Holy Spirit Can Help You Today

HOLY SPIRIT CAN HELP YOU TODAY

But as many as
received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on His name (John 1:12).

As Moses was growing up in the house of Pharaoh, he
perceived that he would be Israel’s deliverer and he began to think of how to
accomplish this mission; how to bring his people out of the bondage of slavery.
He got an idea and soon began working on it. He decided to take the Egyptians
out, one by one. He started out and killed the first one. He however didn’t
have the opportunity to kill the next one before trouble came and he had to
escape from Egypt.

It’s possible you’re in the same situation as Moses was. Everything
around you points towards the direction of unfulfilled dream. You want to be successful;
meanwhile everything around you looks bleak. Like Moses, you feel as though you’re
pushed to the wall. The ready solution seems to take matters into your own
hands even if it means defrauding others. I’d like to remind you that true and
lasting riches come from God alone. You can become the dream that God has for
you only through the agency of the Holy Spirit and not by getting involved in
the wrong stuff.

Moses kept going in
circles until he encountered God at the burning bush. It was there that God spoke
to him and corrected his ways. Moses realized that violence wasn’t going to
work and he needed the Lord’s help. Violence can only lead to bondage. Let God
help you today as He did Moses; let Him help you bring the vision of your heart
to reality. Choose to go the supernatural way today. The Lord Jesus is calling
you today, just as He called Simon and his brother, Andrew:”Follow me” He says,
“and I will make you what I’ve chosen
you to be.”

PRAYER

DEAR FATHER, YOUR
WORD IS MY LIGHT BY WHICH I FIND MY WAY. I COMPLETELY TRUST IN THE ABILITY OF
THE WORD TO MAKE ME THE PERSON YOU WANT ME TO BE. I YIELD TO THE TRAINING OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT, IN JESUS CHRIST NAME, AMEN!
