When you and I fall into a difficult situation or where we may need help, it could be devastating, depending on our own attitude. Are you willing to admit failure and seek help, crucifying our pride, or do we persist in stubbornness? We can sit in our corner and sulk, or we could reach out, seeking and calling for help if would be serious about changing our situation. Obviously, we need to accept a hand stretched out to us and not predict how assistance should be presented. If serious in our attempts to change our situation, we would evaluate all possibilities and opportunities at hand. Matthew 7: verse 7 & 8 in Scripture states that when we ASK WE SHALL RECEIVE, WHEN WE SEEK WE SHALL FIND, WHEN WE KNOCK IT SHALL BE OPENED. It is clear in Scripture that Jesus Christ did not attend to people who were not seeking help. Those who made an effort to get help in whatever way received help, assistance, and healing. The blind man Bartimaeus in Mark 10:47 CRIED OUT to Jesus. In Luke 17:13, 10 men suffering from disease (Leprosy) SHOUTED OUT for Jesus to show mercy upon them. When Hezekiah and his people were threatened by the enemy in war, according to 2 Kings 19:14-15, he cried out to God for His intervention. Hagar in Genesis 16:13-14 & 21:15-19 was faced with rejection and cast out of her master’s household where she served while being deceived and cried out to God for her and her child, fearing death. In all these cases and many more different circumstances and situations, GOD, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, HAS ANSWERED AND PROVIDED AN OUTCOME WITH GUIDANCE AND RELIEF, which benefited those who called and cried out to Him to His glory. More so, where Nicodemus (leader and senior official) wanted to know how he could receive God’s grace and salvation, while Paul states in Romans 10:13 “Everyone who CALLS OUT TO THE LORD FOR HELP will be saved.” While James 5:13 to 15 states that if any among you are in trouble? They should pray. Are any among you happy? They should sing praises. 14 Are any among you sick? They should send for the church elders, who will pray for them and rub olive oil on them in the name of the Lord. 15This prayer made in faith will HEAL THE SICK (Physical and Spiritual); the Lord will RESTORE THEM TO HEALTH, and the SINS THEY HAVE COMMITTED WILL BE FORGIVEN. Take hands with SATM (Southern Africa Truckers Ministry) in this effort to share GOOD NEWS, as Romans 10:14 states the challenge: “But how can they CALL TO HIM FOR HELP if they have not believed? And how can they believe if they have not heard the message? And how can they hear if the message is not proclaimed?” Therefore, we need to witness about his work in our lives. So decide if you are serious about change in your life for the better on every level in submission to God through His son Jesus Christ. When you have reached the end of yourself and your own strength, God can add LIFE to you. EVERLASTING LIFE
