Introduction
In
my previous article, I enumerated some reasons people cannot receive God's
`azar (help). I also provided some biblical and practical ways to receive
God's help and people's help.
One
thing you must realize about life is that people will not give you your share
or what you desire until you seek it. You will only win the game if you play
according to the rules. As I watched yesterday's world cup match (Portugal vs.
Ghana), I felt Ghana (the Black stars) did their best but lost.
There
were some goals the referee shouldn’t have accepted. Some goals Portugal scored
were offside. Secondly, the referee shouldn’t have given the Portuguese a
penalty kick. I am not addicted to football.
However,
if the referee had been fair, Ghana should have won the game. Ghana (the Blackstars)
made minor mistakes, leading them to lose the game. However, Ghana should have
won the game!
Connecting
this article to yesterday's match (Ghana vs. Portugal), the Portuguese received
help from the referees because they were not Africans. Most often, Africans do
not receive `azar.
African
countries face racism in games and in foreign countries. Even in Christianity,
racism exists. Christian believers who advocate racism are not truly born again
because we (Christian believers) have one Spirit (the Holy Spirit).
It
doesn’t matter your lineage (African, American, European, Asian). Christian believers
operate by one law (the Holy Bible). We (Christian believers) must not imitate the
unbelievers' corrupt principles (systems) and lifestyles because we are
travelers.
If
the unbelievers can help, why can’t Christian believers help each other? Christianity
is a kingdom of love. We cannot grow without the seed of love.
The first-century believers walked and lived in love.
They
expanded the Christian faith because love empowered them. No Christian believer
in the first century lacked basic needs because they knew the principle of
`azar. Today, most Christians have become greedy and selfish.
“We”
don't express love in the church, homes, and workplace because we have ignored
the power of `azar. In workplaces, there are “Christians” occupying high
positions. Most of these “Christians” are corrupt.
The
money supposed to be used to build and develop a project is embezzled (squandered)
by these “Christians.” Child of God, real `azar comes from God Almighty. You
cannot make a great impact without the `azar of God.
As
stated in the previous articles, God can use several ways to help us. It
would be best if you place your faith in God and His Word because they don’t
fail (meditate on Numbers 23:19, Titus 1:2, Malachi 3:6). In the book of
Isaiah, we see a profound revelation about the `azar of God.
The `azar of Yahweh
Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am]
thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness.
Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and
confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall
perish.
Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, [even] them that
contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a
thing of nought.
For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear
not; I will help thee.
Fear not, thou worm Jacob, [and] ye men of Israel; I will help
thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 41:10-14
KJV
God
does not want us to walk and live in fear because it destroys our faith
(meditate on 2 Timothy 1:7). Living in fear and depression breaks your
relationship with the Holy Spirit. When you allow fear and depression to
dominate your soul, spirit, and body, you limit the help of the Holy Spirit.
Living
in darkness (fear, depression, hopelessness, sin, and wickedness) leads to suicidal thoughts. If you read
Isaiah chapter forty-one, verses ten to fourteen, you will realize that God encourages
us not to be fearful.
He
wants us to believe in his power, protection, love, and assistance. The
Israelites are the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel). Israelites
in the Holy Bible symbolize Christian believers.
Any
promise God made to the Israelites is connected to Christian believers. If you meditate
on Isaiah chapter forty-one, verses ten to fourteen, you will realize that God
declared several times that he would help us.
God
(the Holy Spirit) is ready to help us in our painful and difficult state. I
have met several Christian believers who live in sorrow. These Christian
believers take their eyes and heart off Christ Jesus (the Word) and depend on
their limited strength.
Some
Christian believers also depend on others. Can I present that the people and
associations you depend on have problems? People enter the realm of disappointment
and confusion because the person or group they trusted failed them.
If
you depend on people (family, government, friends, and leadership), you will enter
the realm of darkness. God wants you to trust him with all your heart. He knows
people are fighting you.
God
knows people are destroying your reputation, hard work, church, business, and family.
However, he wants you to trust Him for assistance. I have learned not to
fight some battles because my trust is in the Holy Spirit.
Imagine
three unmerciful dogs barking at you. Observing their demeanor, they are ready
to bite and destroy you. Looking at your side, you find seven wild lions ready
to help you fight the unmerciful dogs.
Will
you be afraid of dogs? Many Christian believers are ignorant of God’s power. If
you know who you are in the Spirit, you will not be scared of the enemy's
threat. There is no way a dog can fight a mature lion!
Your
enemies are like dogs. You have the Lion of Judah and holy archangels
surrounding you in the realms of the Spirit. You are seated with Christ Jesus
in the Heavenly places. This heavenly place is far above principalities and
powers (meditate on Ephesians 2:5-6).
You
have the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (the Holy Spirit) living in you (see 1
John 4:4). The Holy Spirit is with you. Why should you be afraid of a mere dog?
A lion can destroy a dog within minutes. Meditate on this Word for more
profound revelations.
Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am]
thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness.
Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and
confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall
perish.
Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, [even] them that
contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a
thing of nought.
For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear
not; I will help thee.
Fear not, thou worm Jacob, [and] ye men of Israel; I will help thee,
saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 41:10-14
KJV
Five biblical ways to receive the help of God
The Pistis of the three men
And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there
were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every
town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was [present]
to heal them.
And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy:
and they sought [means] to bring him in, and to lay [him] before
him.
And when they could not find by what [way] they might bring him
in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down
through the tiling with [his] couch into the midst before Jesus.
And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are
forgiven thee.
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this
which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them,
What reason ye in your hearts?
Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise
up and walk?
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to
forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and
take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he
lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with
fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
Luke 5:17-26
KJV
Christ
Jesus was preaching the gospel in Galilee, Judaea, and Jerusalem.
Some men needed `azar (help) in the middle of evangelism. They wanted
Christ Jesus to heal their “father."
These
men had no choice but to break the roof and ceiling of a building to locate
Christ Jesus. Although the men used an illegal approach to Christ Jesus, Christ
Jesus saw their pistis (faith) and forgave them of their sins.
After
Christ Jesus forgave them of their sin, he helped (healed) their father. One
thing you must know about the help of Christ Jesus (God Almighty) is that he is
looking for your faith. When God sees your faith, he will help you.
It
doesn't matter how sinful you are; if you operate in faith, you will get the
attention of the Holy Spirit. Like the men who broke the roof and ceiling of
someone’s house to approach Christ Jesus.
Christ
Jesus saw their faith. He forgave their sin because of their faith. Christ
Jesus saw their integrity of heart and helped them. Sometimes our actions may
prove that we are wrong or evil.
However,
the Holy Spirit checks our hearts. He looks at the motives behind our actions.
When the Holy Spirit sees faith and integrity in your heart, He will help you.
Like Abraham, he lied to Abimelech (king of Egypt) that Sarah was his sister.
In
reality, Sarah was his wife. Abraham lied to the Egyptians and Abimelech
because of fear. Secondly, Abraham lied because the Egyptians had no fear of
God. God saw the integrity of Abraham’s heart and helped Sarah.
Keep
this wisdom in your heart; God hates sin with all his heart (meditate on Psalms
7:11). He does not condone sin. However, there are spiritual laws of sin. There
are levels and types of sin.
Some
sins are pardonable; others are unpardonable (meditate on 1 John 5:16-17, John
19:11). I will write in detail about sin in my upcoming articles. Returning to
the men who received the help of Christ Jesus (Yahweh), they operated in
faith.
If
the three men operated in fear, they would not have received the help of Christ
Jesus. If you are going to receive the `azar of God, you must operate in
faith. Freely download and read my book, how to unlock the gate of faith
for more profound revelation.
Becoming one with the Logos
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye
will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 15:7
KJV
Christ
Jesus stated that if we become one with the Word (the logos), we will
receive `azar (help). Some people have become close to their families,
business, friends, partners, and jobs to the extent that nothing can separate
them.
If
people can glue to each other, it is possible to become one with the Word of
God. If nothing can separate your spirit, soul, and body from the Word (the
Holy Bible), whatever you ask God, He will give to you.
This is a divine principle no one can break. When you meet the condition, God will fulfill his part.
- Do you love the Word of God?
- Do you have time for God’s Word?
- Do you follow the Word of God?
Prepare
for the `azar of the Holy Spirit if you answered yes to these questions.
The
key of tsaddiyq
I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the
righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Psalms 37:25
KJV
If
you are going to receive the help of God, you must be righteous (tsaddiyq).
Righteousness means you have a right standing with the Trinity. There are
levels and types of righteousness.
The
first stage of righteousness is to become born again. When you repent and
confess to Christ Jesus as your Saviour and Lord, you become righteous (born
again). At this stage, you can stand before the trinity with no thoughts of condemnation because Christ Jesus
places his righteousness on you.
Note
that this is the first stage of righteousness. From there, you walk in the
kingdom's righteousness as stated in the book of Matthew, chapter six, verses
thirty-three. There are over six types and levels of righteousness.
I
will write in detail in my upcoming articles. As stated by David, “I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have
I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.”
David
declared that he had not seen God forsaking the righteous. The Holy Spirit will
not allow you to beg if you are righteous. God is ready to help righteous
people. Are you righteous?
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.
Psalms 84:11
KJV
- Do
you love holiness?
- Do you love purity lifestyle?
- Do you love sanctification?
- Do you hate sin?
- Do you walk and live in the light of the Word?
- Are you walking and living in the Spirit?
Get
ready for `azar if you answered yes to the above questions. Meditate on
these Holy Scriptures and pray this prayer of salvation to enter the arena of
the righteous. When you enter the hall of the righteous, the help of God will
not be far from you.
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
Psalms 37:28-29 KJV
The key of biyn
Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver
him in time of trouble.
The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall
be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his
enemies.
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt
make all his bed in his sickness.
Psalms 41:1-3
KJV
Helping
the poor from your heart is a godly seed. When you deliver someone in need, you
provoke the help of God. When you win an unsaved soul into the kingdom of God,
you have sown a perfect seed.
As
stated by David, God will deliver, preserve and keep us alive when we help the
needy. The Holy Spirit will deliver us from our enemies because we understand
the condition of the poor.
Because
we help needy vessels, the Holy Spirit will also help us. In times of sickness,
the Lord will remember your godly seed. The Holy Spirit will not allow sickness
to kill you. He will stretch forth his hands of blessings upon your life
because you remembered the poor.
It
is time to help those in need. Helping the poor from your heart activates God's
hand (`azar). Whether it be a country, government, organization, family,
or business, when the Holy Spirit sees the good seed you sown in the life of
people, animals, and creation, he will help you.
