HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU – Friday

Memorise: Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy
walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:16
Read: Luke 5:1-9 (KJV)
5 And it came to pass, that, as the people
pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were
gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and
prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down,
and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into
the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the
night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of
fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other
ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the
ships, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,
Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught
of the fishes which they had taken:

Message
God has designed life such that as men, we
are dependent on each other. Once in a while, we might need help and may become
weary if it does not come (Proverb 13:12).

I have experienced this countless times but God has always helped me. He is the Ever-Present help in the time of need (Psalm 46:1)
Sometimes, there may be nobody to help. At
other times, those you have trusted may just decide against helping you, but
not God. David, in Psalm 27:10 said:

“When
my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.”
Even if everybody were to forsake you in your
time of need, God would never do so. The Yorubas say that when fire burns a
parents and his/her child at the same time, the parents would naturally focus
on saving him/herself first irrespective of the depth of love towards that
child. However, with God, He will put you first. In Isaiah 49:15, God asked a
vital question.
“Can
a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the
son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.”
Open Heaven 25 September 2020:Friday:Action Point
Can you recall the explosions that occurred
in Lagos in 2001? Many people were so scared that they left their children
behind and ran for their lives. When such things happens, mothers forget their
suckling children. May we never experience such again in the mighty name of
Jesus.
At other times too, those who really want to
help may have tried their best, but are unable to save the situation. Doctors
are great, but once in a while, even they do not have solutions to some health
problems. Although some ailments have been termed incurable by man, there is no
such thing with God. He does the impossible.
Set your love upon God, then call upon Him
today. He will answer you (Psalm 91:14-15).
Action Point
I joined my faith with yours now. Ask for God’s intervention in that
area where you need help desperately.
