Open Heaven Daily Devotional May 10 2023 Topic: Divine Help I
SCRIPTURE: “My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.” – Psalm 121:2 (KJV)
Divine help refers to the intervention of God to get a man to a place he is trying to reach. The help of God is always on time; God is never late (Psalm 46:1). Just at the moment when you need help, He will be there-in the nick of time (Psalm 124:1-7).
In 1 Kings 17:8-16, we read the story of a widow in a time of famine. She was going to prepare her last meal so that she and her son could eat before dying. Unknown to her, help was already on the way and that seemingly last meal was the first of many more. Your help is already on its way, in Jesus’ name.
Many years ago, during our annual Convention in The Redeemed Christian Church of God, my wife came to me and said, “Darling, we need 5000 naira to feed the people today”. This was a lot of money in those days. Although I had no money on me then, I responded, “Good, I will send for you”. She left and I turned to the Helper of the helpless, praying for a way to feed everyone there.
Not long after, a man was driving past and decided to stop by. He asked what we were doing and I told him we were having a convention. He said, “That is a very wonderful idea. Next year, I will be part of it”. I thought, “I am talking of today; this man is talking of next year”. The man then put his hand in his pocket and said, “But for now, have this”. He gave me an envelope and left. I opened the envelope and found 1000 naira in it. I said, “Thank you Lord; one down, four to go”. Before long, the youths came to my office and at the end of their visit gave me an envelope with 2000 naira in it. Within a short time, I had all the money needed for the feeding. In the nick of time, God sent help to me. Your help will come today, in Jesus’ name.
The interesting thing about God is that He is the Reverser of the irreversible, so even when it looks as if He is late, He can reverse time for your sake. Sarah laughed when God told her she would carry a child because she believed it was already too late for her and Abraham, but she carried a child to term and delivered safely (Genesis 21:1-2). Even if it seems as if God is late, I decree: He will reverse time for your sake, in Jesus’ name.
Open Heaven 10 May 2023 PRAYER POINT:
Father, even if You have to reverse time so that You can help me, just help me in this season, in Jesus’ name.
