TOPIC: HELP FROM HEAVEN I

MEMORISE:
The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Psalm 34:7

READ: Psalm 112:1-10

1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

MESSAGE
A person who fears God will always enjoy assistance from heaven. When I talk about enjoying assistance from heaven, it includes receiving help from beings who live in heaven, specifically the angels.

Today’s memory verse tells us that the angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and delivers them. You can be certain of angelic interventions and rescues when you fear the Lord. Today’s Bible reading refers to someone who fears the Lord as a blessed person. When you fear the Lord and delight greatly in His commandments, you will be blessed, and you can expect angels to intervene in your affairs.

In 1 Kings 19:4-8, when Elijah was so discouraged that he felt like dying, God sent an angel to him twice to strengthen him with food. Before this incident, he had confronted the prophets of Baal, burnt their altars, and killed them. He had purged the land of idolatry because he feared the Lord (1 Kings 18:1-40). In Daniel 6:19-22, an angel came and shut the mouths of lions so that they would not harm Daniel because he chose to obey God’s commandments (Daniel 6:4-10).

In 2 Kings 19:32-37, a single angel from the Lord fought against Sennacherib and destroyed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night. This was because King Hezekiah was a blessed man who feared the Lord (2 Kings 19:14-19). In Matthew 2:13-15, an angel warned Joseph in a dream that Herod was seeking to kill Jesus. In Acts 12:5-11, an angel came to set Peter free from prison the night before he was to be killed. Every one of these people experienced angelic interventions because they feared God.

A lady once shared her experience during a flight when the aircraft encountered turbulence, and it appeared as if it was going to crash. As she cried out to God for help, she looked out of the window and saw an angel smiling at her as he carried the plane in the palm of his hand. Immediately, she stopped being anxious and became assured that there was nothing to worry about. I prophesy to you that God will send His angel to rescue you in turbulent times, in Jesus’ name.

Beloved, when you fear the Lord and obey His commandments at all times, you can rest assured that the hosts of angels in heaven will come to your aid in times of need.

PRAYER POINT
Father, please help me to fear You and obey Your commandments so that I will enjoy help from heaven, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Luke 13-15
Hymn 27: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!

3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he’ll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.

TOPIC: THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER 4 MEMORISE:  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Corinthians 6:12 READ: Bible Reading Romans 6:1-23 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead w...

TOPIC : OVERFLOWING MERCY MEMORISE : “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;).” - (Ephesians 2:4-5) READ : MARK 1:40-45 (KJV) 40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; 45 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the cit...

TOPIC: AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT  MEMORIZE   Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. Daniel 6:3 READ :  Romans 12:10-21 [10]Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; [11]Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; [12]Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; [13]Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality  [14]Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. [15]Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. [16]Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. [17]Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. [18]If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. [19]Dearly be...
