Password to resources of Heaven and Earth
UV 446/10,000 Password to access the resources of Heaven and Earth
Psalm 124 v 8 “Our help is in the name of the Lord who made Heaven and Earth”
Satan is a fowler or a bird-hunter. He hunts down our soul as a hunter tries to snare a bird. Our soul escapes from his net when we cry out to the Lord, when we call His name. The Lord who made heaven and earth is on our side. Hence, we have joined the winning side. He gives us help in all the predicaments of life. Jesus is the password or key by which we can access the resources of heaven and earth. That is why He said, “ Ask in my name.” Our Father in heaven will grant that which we ask as Jesus is His beloved Son and has the full favour of Jehovah. There is no powerful foe whose evil designs He cannot defeat. There is no pressing need that He cannot meet. There is no ailment He cannot heal.
As the Lord who made heaven, He gives us help from above. He sends His Holy Spirit to aid, prompt, guide and counsel us. He gives us spiritual gifts. He sends His angelic host to guard us. He gives us His Word as a daily manna to feed and strengthen us. He gives us assurance of forgiveness and eternal life. He is our present as well as everlasting help. But, He does not often give unsolicited help. We need to humble ourselves and look upwards and inwards for His help. Looking for help is an act of faith as it implies that we cannot do it on our own strength or with our own resources. Looking to Him for help implies that we believe that He can do it though the situation looks impossible.
As the Lord who made the earth, He gives us help in this world: to succeed in our professions, for grace and protection of the family, for provision and for promotion. He enlarges our territory or the domain of our influence. He makes our enemies a footstool for our rise. Though He has set the entire universe and all in it in motion according to some natural laws, He alone can supercede these laws based on cause and effect. He alone knows the factors that limit us as His creatures, the gaps in our lives. He will help us overcome the limiting factors and fill the gaps in our lives.
