JEHOVAH EZER
Jehovah
Ezer IS THE Hebrew words for “Lord our help”. In Psalm 33:20, the psalmist
says,
“Our soul waits for the Lord. He is our help and our shield”.
What
does help mean ?
The
English word help means to aid, to lend strength, to succor, to lend means of
deliverance (as to help one in distress), to give assistance (from from Latin assistere
to stand by, from sistere to cause to stand) or support (to carry the weight
of, derived from Latin supportāre to bring from sub- = up + portāre =to carry).
Simply
put, help means to do for someone what he or she cannot do for himself or herself.
Who is
entitled to divine help? To who does God send his help ?
According
to the text read today, it appears clearly that God helps those who wait for
him. God does not help those who help themselves. By the way, nowhere in Scriptures
such statement is supported. It is a carnal and demonic argument used by men to
justify their evil deeds.
What
is it to wait for the Lord?
To wait for the Lord is to be quiet in expectation.
It is to be patient in hope. It is to be single in confidence. It is to say no
to shortcut to get things done.
Someone
once said, “Patience is not about how long you wait but about how quiet you are
while waiting”
APPLICATION
Saul
was asked by the prophet Samuel to wait for help from God in 7 days. But unfortunately,
when he found himself under the pressure of time (because the prophet was not
coming); the pressure of multitude (because everybody was deserting him and
fleeing from him) and the pressure of adversity (because the Philistines were
approaching to attack him), he gave up waiting for the Lord and start doing his
own things until he lost his kingdom for ever
Question
1/ What do you do when you face such triple external pressure the way Saul
faced?
Question
2/ Does your soul wait for the help of the Lord or do you open the door and try
to face it in your own strength without
the help of the Lord?
CONCLUSION
AND PRAYERS
The reason
why we are starting this class today is because I have heard the Lord telling
me
“My
people, you have waited and relied on human help for long. Time has come where I,
myself, will come to help you”
Isaiah
41:13 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.
MAY
YOU RECEIVE DIVINE HELP IN THIS SEASON IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!
