For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
There are men who struggle in life for everything. They struggle to be born, they struggle to live, they struggle to go to school. They even pay through their noses in schools. They fight to get a job and wait several years before they find a mate. Nothing is ever easy for them. Look around you will find such men. Whatever they have resulted from years of toil. May be you are even one such person whose trademark is struggle. It is my sincere prayer that the God of Heaven will let you lose that trademark in Jesus? name. God never ordained a life of struggle for you. It is not God?s wish that you fail twice before you earn a degree. It is never His plan that you learn by brutal life-threatening business failures. God?s agenda for your life is “effortless success“. Please do not misunderstand me, God ordained hard work and He expects it of us but undignified, unproductive and tortuous work is never a part of His plans.

What exactly is the difference between impossibility and struggle on one hand and ease and effortless success on the other hand?- Grace; the God of Grace. In Luke 5:1-11, fruitless effort, failure, shame and reproach ended in the life of Peter immediately Jesus Christ who is grace personify stepped into his life. Shame gave way for unending glory through his relationship with Jesus Christ. A poor and unlearned Fisherman by Grace became a carrier of God′s glory with records of his name in the Scripture and even in this contemporary time, his name can still be found on monuments.
The Bible says “Then Isaac sowed in that land and received in the same year a hundred fold: and the Lord blessed him“ Can you just think for a moment about that? Can you just imagine putting a thousand naira in the bank and getting hundred thousand in interest per year? That was what grace did in the life of Isaac. In a land of hardship where everyone was crying famine, he was shinning revealing God′s glory because God rewarded his labour hundred fold. You might be one such person who is thinking “How will dreams come true in this year of woes“ I have a word for you: the God of grace that did it for Isaac will yet do it again.

In operating the grace for possibilities, three things are uppermost:

One, you MUST never take NO for an answer. Whether it is from destiny-helpers or the devil, never take a “No“. You must know that great doors seldom open at the first knock. Elisha had to cross Jordan before he got the double portion anointing.

Two, you must be a man of prayers. I have not seen a greater force than the force of prayers. Christians seem to have forgotten that time changes nothing. Those who constantly record victories have mastered the use of prayers for the dismantling of spiritual strongholds. Be not ignorant, there will always be opposition to your progress.

Faith! In this kingdom, we operate entirely by faith. The Bible says: The just shall live by faith (Heb 10:38). Faith being the evidence of things hoped for; a believer needs to activate faith to see the real manifestation of seeming impossibilities. As we engage the combined power of faith and prayers this month of special grace, nothing shall be impossible for us in Jesus name.

What does the phrase “the fear of the Lord “mean? The word “fear“ is associated with terror, feeling of anxiety and agitation produced by the presence or nearness of danger, evil, pain e.t.c. This however, is not the sense in which the scripture uses the word when it talks about the fear of God. The context in which it is used in the bible implies reverence, awe and great respect. In essence, what the scripture is teaching is that we are to have deep reverence and respect for the Lord.

Literally, we are to be awed and humbled by His presence. When we fear the Lord, we live our lives in reverence for His name and His word. We will surrender our lives to Him and we will live to please God in all we do.

Not only adult are obligated to fear the Lord, children too are. Hence, you are to preach to your children to fear Him too. To do this, you must begin the following from early stage:

Pray for them and with them

Introduce them to the scriptures

Tell and show them the way of truth

Take them to church and cultivate their interest in the things of God

Preach the gospel of salvation to them.

As you prayerfully embark on this great task, the Lord will graciously save and instill His fear in your children′s lives.

I thank God for his faithfulness.

This chart explains how the color of your tongue may indicate information about your health status.

God did not create any man who would not need the help of other men. Whether you are rich or poor, popular or not. To grow in life, and maintain good life, you need some help. Doesn?t it amaze you that a sick man; though being a medical doctor can hardly treat himself. A man sick of palsy needed the help of four men to get his healing from the Ultimate helper. Mark 2: 1-12.The Bible speaking of the ministry of Jesus Christ says ?How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.? Wait a minute! Did you read that? ? (Acts 10:38)...for God was with him...? It implies that Jesus would have failed if he didn?t get the help he required from God.

As important as help may be, not everyone gets help. I pray for you today dear reader that help will not be far from you in Jesus name. In the lives of many a Christian, help is scarce. Many do all that they do by themselves and on their own. They labour so hard but they only go as far as their labour could carry them. Let me tell you one truth dear friend. Hard-work is extremely important but it would be great misery if all your growth is determined by the extent of your labour. Labour alone has never prospered any man. Labour alone can never make a man amount to much. The Bible says ?...the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.? (Ecc 9:11)You can write this down: those who don?t find help don?t go far.
The question now is this: how can a man access his helper.

First, I must have you know that no man can help another man whom God has not helped. This is why some are so very close to help and then they never get help. There can?t be a better illustration of this than the life of the man by the pool of Bethesda. John 5:1-9. He had a family and a people; some of them are probably his siblings yet when Jesus asked him ?Do you want to be made whole?? he replied ?I have no man?. What he actually meant is that my relatives are all nonentity. He probably meant that my family does not care. He was probably beginning to think of himself as an orphan. Let?s face it. If you have people who can help and they don?t, isn?t it just normal to conclude that you have no people at all? That was what he did.
It was in this mess that help arose from the helper of the helpless himself. Jesus of Nazareth showed up for him. I pray for you today dear reader that when you need help the most the Almighty will arise for you. I remember the man by the name Mephibosheth (2 Sam: 9). King David had felt indebted to Jonathan his father and wanted desperately to bless him. But the challenges of life including his lameness had kept him away from the reach of men wallowing in obscurity in Lodebar. He had a waiting helper but he was not visible. David wanted desperately to help him but the forces of helplessness held him bound.

Dear reader, even when a man makes up his mind to help you if God does not enable his help he would be scarce to find. Thank God for Ziba. God used him to help the destiny of Mephiboshet. For this reason the Bible said ?Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth? (Ps 124:8). As you go out of your way seeking help this day please understand that there is only one place to look to for help and that is ?up?. Psalms 121:1-2 When you look up to God in prayer He compels men to do what they would ordinarily not do for you. They will offer help to you and still feel blessed for doing so. They will offer help to you and still feel honoured helping you. I bet you that is the kind of help that you need. It is my prayer for you as you begin in this new month, help of the helpless will be for you a very present help in the time of need.

Some people have argued that letting children know about the rapture and events of the last days is tantamount to scaring them. The truth is that no parents who understand the need for their children to take part in the rapture will deprive them of knowing about such an all important global event. You need to empower them with all available information about rapture so as to prepare them to partake in it.

Moreover, there is no better time to teach them about the end time events than now. Start teaching them now. Use every available medium and method to teach them. Take advantage of social media to reach those that are staying far away from you.

Reason why you should teach your children about the end time event:

It gives them comfort and assurance

It keeps them on guard

It equips them with biblical doctrines

It gets them prepare for the rapture.
