In
the past, men may have promised to help you and it failed; others may have just
refused to help you. It is possible for help of the helpers to fail and for the
comfort of man to flee. But there is the help of one that cannot fail; it is
the help of God. In 2013, God will send help that cannot fail your way.
Look
beyond man this year. Men are mere channels, only God is the source. God can
both decide to use the channels (men), but when men fail; the source can reach
out to you directly.
People
say these days you cannot get something without the help of a man. And indeed,
earthly (and corrupt) protocols have denied many people their legitimate right
most times because they refuse to compromise their integrity and faith in God.
But, I tell you the truth, when God steps up and steps into your case, God does
not need (the services of) a man to lift you up and move you forward.
Look
at these:
-
When something
Heavenly and Heavy (the birth of Jesus) was to happen in the life of Mary, even
her did not understand how it could happen without the input and assistance of
a man. She told the angel, “I know no
man” (Luke 1:34). In other words, she was saying popular opinion says it is
a man who makes babies; others say, your destiny is in a man’s hand; or,
without a man’s help, assistance and co-operation, nothing significant can take
place.
But, God did not need a man to make Mary conceive of
the Saviour. It is not compulsory that God must use a man to fulfil His purpose
for your life or to bless you. Any man who thinks without him you cannot bring forth
something great; any family member who believes without their input your life
cannot make meaning; and all those who have decided not to help you because
they think you cannot become anything without them...Remember, Mary also said
she did not know any man; but God who made man can by-pass man and step into
your life and bring out the glory of your destiny.
David said, “When
my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up” (Psalm 27:10).
It is that point when men have shown their carnal talents of failing to help
that God demonstrates His Heavenly power and supernatural talent of coming to
help. Glory!

There was a man
who was ill for 38years and was lying by a pool waiting for his chance to come (John 5). When Jesus stepped into his
case and wanted to help him, see what the man said to Jesus: “Sir, I have no man (to help me into the pool)” (John 5:7). It
seems to me that the way was trying to say he had no human connection, and no
helper.
Listen; when your life depends so much and
desperately on men and earthly connections, you may have “unconsciously” taken
your focus away from Jesus. Jesus was standing right there in his front, but he
did not perceive it because his hope is hanging in the help of man (and not the
power of God). The man erroneously tied his deliverance and healing to a
particular season (when an angel comes) and to the help of man. No wonder “Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had
been now a long time in that case” (John 5:6).
Mary
said, “I know no man”; the crippled
man said, “I have no man”...and
honestly these may not be different from your situation – you do not have men
or family relations in power/high places/political offices/etc who can help
you. But this year, as you re-focus on Jesus, seeking and serving Him in
holiness and integrity, divine help will locate you in Jesus’ name!
In
this year, whatever delay that exists is in any area of your life; marriage,
career, relationship, ministry, business, etc...2013 shall swallow them up. Remember,
He said there are sinking grounds...so not only will rebellious and wicked
people sink, also all stubborn problems, unrepentant enemies, they shall sink
in 2013. The yoke of delay and denial is broken and lifted in our lives as God’s
people in 2013.
-
Remember, God
first; Holiness first; Heaven first...and every other thing (including
deliverance, prosperity, miracles, etc) shall follow you, and no devil, demon
or enemy will be able to stop you from radiating in the glory of God. I will
see you at the top. Remain rapturable and God bless.
