keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

Not
many people know that the surest source of help is the God of heaven and earth,
and for this reason, so many people struggle for a very long time without
having anything to show for their efforts. No wonder wise King Solomon, in Psalm 127:1,
confessed thus:
“Except the LORD build the house,
they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman
waketh but in vain.”
if
you have been struggling all your life, with little or nothing to show for it,
your struggles have come to an end today in Jesus’ Name. One struggle a lot of
people battle with throughout their lifetime is the struggle against the power
of sin. Apostle Paul, before coming to the knowledge of the saving grace in the
Lord Jesus Christ, found himself in this situation. Open Heavens January 4 2018. In Romans 7:24, he bemoaned his
spiritual condition, saying,
“O wretched man that I am! Who
shall deliver me from the body of this death?”
The
good news is that Paul found help above and he is today, through faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ, numbered among the saints.

. The same Jesus who did it for
Paul can do it for you. The Lord is telling you to look up to Him for that help
you seek, because looking elsewhere is an exercise in futility. OPEN HEAVENS 2 JANUARY 2018. The Lord
Himself will send help from above to you today in Jesus’ Name. The Saviour who
helped the woman caught in adultery to come out of her state of spiritual
hopelessness, will set you free from the power of sin and empower you to sin no
more in Jesus’ Name (John 8:3-11).
Beloved,
let Jesus Christ help you. He is calling you today, saying,
“Come unto me, all ye that labour
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28
“Behold, the LORD’S hand is not
shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But
your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid
his face from you, that he will not hear.”
Prayer Point
Abba Father, please send help
to me today, and don’t let me be put to shame.

Sing hymn 10
10. MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO
THEE
1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamp of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray
Take all my guilt away
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me
spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to
day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears
away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside
4. When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold,
sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Savior, then in
love
Fear and distrust
remove;
Oh, bear me safe
above,
A ransomed soul!
