MARVELLOUS HELPED.
Part II

Oh God you are my God 

O God, You are my God,
And I will ever praise You.
O God, You are my God,
And I will ever praise You.
 
I will seek You in the morning,
And I will learn to walk in Your ways.
And step by step You’ll lead me,
And I will follow You all of my days.

Definition of Help
Help — To make it easier or possible for someone to do something by offering one’s service, support, or resources.
Expanded Understanding
Help means to assist or enable someone to accomplish what they could not easily achieve alone.
The goal of help is to make things easier and to open possibilities that were previously limited.
The assignment of help is not to take over responsibility, but to empower and strengthen the one being helped to fulfill their duty or calling.
True help adds strength without removing accountability.
Supporting Scriptures
Exodus 17:12 (NIV)
“When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.”

🕊️ They did not take Moses’ place; they made it easier for him to continue his assignment.

Key supporting scriptures.

Ecclesiastes 9:11
"I returned and saw under the sun that—
The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and chance happen to them all”.

Isaiah 41:10 NIV
So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

HOW THE LORD HELPS MAN.

1. Mercy and Grace.
Hebrews 4:16 (NIV)
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

God’s help flows from His mercy and grace.
Mercy forgives; grace empowers.
When we come boldly, we access His supernatural help.

All the days of my life;

Forever."

Psalms 123:2
"Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the LORD our God,
Until He has mercy on us.”

Prayer point.
🔥We receive the Lord’s mercies. The Lord’s mercy to redeems our past and His grace enables our future.

2. The Ministry of Men
God often sends help through people — divine connections, mentors, leaders, or even strangers.
He channels His help through human vessels.

Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 (NIV)
“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.”

Acts 9:17-18
" And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized.

1 Samuel 23:16 (NIV)
“And Saul’s son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God.”

Proverbs 27:17 (NIV)
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up.
Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm;
But how can one be warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken."


Prayer point
The Lord uses people to strengthen, advise, and lift us up. May our eyes be open to see this people, may our path cross with the men/women called to minister to us. 

3. The Person of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is not a force, an energy, or an abstract influence — He is a Person. He speaks, teaches, guides, strengthens, comforts, convicts, and empowers believers for victorious living.
Jesus referred to Him as Parakletos — “One called alongside to help” (John 14:16).
In Greek, Parakletos means:
Advocate
Helper
Comforter
Intercessor
Strengthener
Standby
He is the ultimate Helper — the One who walks with us, speaks to our hearts, and enables us to do what we cannot do on our own.
Where our strength ends, His power begins.
Where our wisdom fails, His counsel leads.
Where our emotions shake, His comfort steadies us.

“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord. — Zechariah 4:6
The Holy Spirit is God with us — and God in us — guiding, empowering, and transforming us daily into the image of Christ

John 14:16–17 (NIV)
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth.”

Romans 8:26 (NIV)
“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.”

John 16:13 (NIV)
“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.”

Acts 1:8 (NIV)
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…”

Zechariah 4:6 (NIV)
“Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

Prayer Point:

🔥 That we may have an understanding and experience the ministration of the Holy Spirit helps, guides, empowers, and intercedes — God’s divine presence in man.
