OPEN HEAVEN 27 APRIL 2026 MONDAY: ATTRACTING GOD’S HELP III

MEMORISE: “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up“. James 4:10

READ: Psalms 10:17-18

17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

MESSAGE

Today, I will conclude the teaching I started two days ago by discussing humility as another way of attracting God’s help.

Today’s Bible reading makes us understand that God listens to the desires of the humble and delivers them from every form of oppression.

This means that if you want God to arise for your help in any area of your life, you must be in a state of total surrender to Him.

Romans 12:1 says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service”.

When you present your body as a living sacrifice to God, it means that you have surrendered completely to Him, and He now has total control over your life.

In 2 Kings 5:11-12, Naaman was about to lose his miracle because of pride. He felt that a man of his social and financial status should be treated in a special way.

If not for the fact that his servants advised him to obey the prophet of the Lord by dipping himself in River Jordan seven times, he probably would have died as a leper.

Child of God, whenever you come before your heavenly Father, do not consider whatever wealth or achievements you might have.

Rather, you should always approach the Almighty God in total surrender so you can receive His help.

I have walked with God for some decades now, and one of the things I can say about Him is that He hates pride.

In fact, He said in James 4:6 that He resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

This tells us that God is always quick to help the humble. David’s humility made him enjoy God’s help countless times in his lifetime.

He never argued with God; rather, he saw himself as a mere work of creation before Him (Psalm 8:4).

As a result, God continued to help him until he died at a good old age, full of riches and honour (1 Chronicles 29:28).

Beloved, if you want God to arise for your help, you must surrender your life totally to Him.

You must acknowledge Him as the Owner and Controller of your life, and when you go before Him in prayers, you must totally disregard your social or financial status.

With utmost humility in your heart, make your requests known to God, and I can assure you that He will arise and help you, even beyond your wildest imagination.

Pride is a major hindrance to attracting God’s help.

HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

1 When we walk with the Lord

in the light of His word,

what a glory He sheds on our way!

While we do His good will, He abides with us still,

and with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain:

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2 Not a shadow can rise,

Not a cloud in the skies,

But His smiles quickly drives it away;

Not a doubt nor a fear,

Not a sigh nor a tear,

Can abide while we trust and obey.

3 Not a burden we bear,

Not a sorrow we share,

But our toil He doth richly Repay;

Not a grief or a loss,

Not a frown or a cross,

But is blest if we trust and Obey.

4 But we never can prove

The delights of His love

Until all on the altar we lay;

For the favour He shows,

For the joy He bestows,

Are for them,

Who will trust and obey.

5 Then in fellowship sweet

We will sit at His feet,

Or we’ll walk by His side

In the way;

What He says we will do,

Where He sends we will go;

Never fear, only trust and obey.

OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2025 TUESDAY

  OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2025 TUESDAY: THE LORD IS MY PEACE OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2025 MEMORISE: “ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7 OPEN HEAVEN 21 OCTOBER 2025 BIBLE READING: ACTS 27:7-44 (KJV) 7. And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; 8. And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. 9. Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, 10. And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. 11. Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. ...
