TITLE: THE LORD HAS ALREADY PUT HELPERS AROUND YOU, LEARN TO RECOGNIZE THEM...

TEXT: 1 KINGS 17:9-10

"Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink".

 *SPIRITUAL NUGGET:* 

"EVEN BEFORE YOU START PRAYING AS A CHILD OF GOD FOR HIM TO GIVE YOU HELPERS, HE HAS ALREADY PUT THEM AROUND YOU, BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU WILL ALWAYS NEED THEM, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THEM..."

 *LET'S GO DEEPER:* 

You see, one of the most important reason why the Lord Jesus Christ admonishes us in His words, "... TO WATCH AND PRAY ..." (Matt. 26:40-43). Is for us to stay sensitive and discerning to read the move of God and to also recognize when God has or is releasing the ANSWERS to our prayers and desires. This is because, it is One thing to PRAY and it is another thing to WATCH. There are alot of Believers who are good in PRAYER AND FASTING, but they lack the discerning grace and sensitivity in the SPIRIT to WATCH (KNOW) when God is bringing the answer and as a result of their insensitivity, they miss the answer to their PRAYERS, but unknown to them. This is why, you need to understand that most of the time, when God is bringing the answers to your PRAYER, it might not look like it. I mean, your HELPERS or The persons that God is sending to you to bring your DESIRE to pass will not appear to be what you want or think, this is because God comes in different dimensions. God disguises the blessing in a Way that is so unannounced and unsophisticated, but it takes sensitive in the SPIRIT to trap it.

You see, the scenario that took place in the Ministry of Elijah the Prophet and the Zeraphet woman is a clear typical example that God can USE anyone or anything or anybody to be your HELPER. It is not about them, but it is all about God. Because, your TRUE HELPER IS GOD, but HE USES MEN AS CHANNELS in releasing His HELPS to you. God is a SPIRIT, you can't see Him, neither can He just suddenly appears from Heaven to help you. Emphatically NO! He doesn't operate that way. He flows through men. He uses people to send you help and meet your need in times of need. This is why you must learn how to trust and lean Only upon the Lord at all times as HE chooses to network and releases His helps to you through various ways. When God told Elijah to go to Zeraphet, he didn't think that his HELPER was going to be such a poor widow. CARNALLY, he might initially thinks that he is going to meet a seemingly sophisticated and well to do woman, but it was the least expected person. YES! This was designed to show and teach us The move and operations of God's Spirit on how He does His things so that no man Will take the glory. YES!

 *ACTION POINT:* 

You see, this is WHY it is not good and healthy for you to be looking down CHEAPLY and negatively on people. Because you don't know who is your helper. You don't know whom God will use to help, assist you or show you the way out of trouble tomorrow. YES! God can use anybody. It doesn't really Whom they are. Sometimes your helpers can be around you, but you won't know, because you have been despising and downplaying them for long based on their current position, status and appearance, it takes discerning grace to recognize them. May the Lord open The eyes of Your Wisdom to recognize your DESTINY HELPERS in Jesus Name.

 *PRAYER:*

TITLE: GOD CAN USE ANYONE TO FAVOUR AND HELP YOU...

TEXT: PROVERBS 16:7

"When a MAN'S WAYS PLEASE THE LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him".

 *SPIRITUAL NUGGET:* 

" WHEN YOU LEARN TO WALK AND BE AT PEACE WITH GOD, HE CAN EVEN USE YOUR ENEMIES TO FAVOUR AND RENDER HELP TO YOU IN TIMES OF NEED..."

 *LET'S GO DEEPER:* 

God can make any thing to become possible. He can break protocols and do the UNUSUAL at His own will, because it has already been declared that, "The Earth is the LORD'S and His fullness thereof. The Earth and all that dwells therein" (Psalm 24:1). As a Believer, there is a dimension of faithfulness and covenant you will enter with God which will make Him use anything and anyone to always favour you. Be it a harsh condition around your life will become FAVOURABLE and every unfriendly enemies to become friendly to you just to act in your favour. Psalms 23:6 says, "For God shall PREPARE A TABLE before me in the presence of mine enemies and thou Shall anoint me head with oil..." God can use your enemies and haters to be of great help to you when the need arise. They have no choice than to favour you, because they are UNDER the compulsion and influence of God's Spirit, "For God uses the weak things of this world to confound The strong..." 

You see, this possibilities of favour can only be activated upon you as a Believer, when you choose to walk in the FEAR OF THE LORD. When your WAYS PLEASES the Lord as a Believer, it doesn't really matter were your ENEMIES AND haters are, be it in the same office, neighborhood, school and place of work with you, they can never harm you. The Bible makes us to understand that, even Daniel (THE beloved) was thrown into Loins den, the UNUSUAL happened. God made all his enemies (The Hungry Lions) around him to be at peace with him. They could not TOUCH him. They all respected him and began to play with him, why because, HIS WAYS PLEASES THE LORD. 1 Peter 3:13 says, "For Who is hee that can harm you IF YOU ARE A FOLLOWER OF THAT THING WHICH IS GOOD..." The enemies and adversaries can never harm and successful carry out their evil devices concerning your life, if you are a God fearing Believer. It is impossible! This is because, when you submit your Life to God your battles becomes His battles, your enemies becomes His ENEMIES and your adversaries becomes His adversaries and because no one can battle with the Lord, they will all crumble before your eyes.

 *ACTION POINT:* 

There are certain negative things that can never happen to a Believer that is walking with God in purity and The FEAR OF THE LORD. NEVER! Because God's Covenant is upon them, "For God will not live your soul in hell neither will HE allow His holy one to suffer corruption..." (Prov. 16:10). Don't be afraid of what the wicked ones and the enemies can do to you. They can't harm you as long as your WAYS PLEASES THE LORD, "FOR the RIGHTEOUS are as BOLD AS A LION..." May God's Spirit rest upon you STRONG in Jesus Name, Amen!

 *PRAYER:*
