Activating Divine Help in My Life

By Ikechukwu C. Abraham

Activating Divine Help in My Life reminds us that everyone, irrespective of achievements, needs help at one point or the other in life. While some need help to arrive at their destinations, others may just need help to arrive early enough. God is the source of all the help that anyone could receive, but unfortunately, many seek for help where there is none. Man could never give help; he is only an extension of God's hand to do the miracles of God.

However, while the help of God is freely given to all, not everyone that really needs help gets it. This book is very carefully written to show that anybody can access help to live a meaningful and purposeful life. Irrespective of the kind of help a person needs--physical, financial, or spiritual--help is actually nearer than is imagined. This book is a guide on how anybody can unlock help and be immensely blessed to live a joyful life.

To all who willingly yield themselves to God for his use as extensions of his gracious hands to the less privileged.

And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong.

—2 Chronicles 26:15

Introduction

In spite of the great heights a person attains in life, one does not need to look too deeply before it is clear that the person still needs help in one or more areas of the person’s life. We all need help to either get to our next destination, or we need help to sustain ourselves on the level that we are on. Everybody needs help to either arrive early in peace or to arrive at all.

After God created Adam and released him into the beautiful garden of Eden, Adam soon realized that he could not achieve much on his own. He needed help to be what God had in mind for his life.

And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. (Genesis 2:18)

I have found out that help means to receive assistance in order to accomplish more. It is accepting inputs into your capacity so that you are able to maximize potentials with less stress. A person without the input from another cannot boast of increase or hope to build anything that is transgenerational: one man’s ability can only take him as far as his lone strength can. There seems to be nothing that ants cannot move when they help one another. We see a colony of ants move impossible weights that weigh hundreds of times more than them.

Everyone needs help because the strength of man is limited. Man is limited in knowledge, wisdom, and physical strength. Therefore, until some kind of assistance is rendered to someone, the one remains limited. The richest men in our communities still approach the financial institutions for loans to move their businesses to the next levels. Loans can be a kind of help that enables the recipients to do more and maximize their profits.

Everybody that God made on the surface of the earth is limited by human nature. Jesus is the only one that the Bible describes to us as having all things without measure.

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. (John 3:34)

The great king of Israel who became a friend of God and man after the heart of God needed help to achieve his kingdom. Several mighty men and warriors positioned themselves at his use, held up his hands, and fought beside him in all his battles.

Think of this: David was one man, but he achieved so much. The help that he received was enormous. First, he got help from the reigning king’s son, Jonathan. Jonathan aided him by saving his life in the several attempts of the king to snuff him out. Jonathan became David’s helper by revealing his father’s plans to kill him. Jonathan thereby helped him to escape from the king and his hired killers.

David also received a great number of men that joined him day after day to help accomplish the desires of his heart.

And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valor and were captains in the host. For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God. (1 Chronicles 12:21–22)

Every mighty man in the Bible had a helper. The prophet Moses had Aaron and Hur as his helpers. They helped him fulfill the plans that God gave to him. Aaron and Hur were there at the side of Moses to hold up his weakening hands so that God’s people could continue to prevail. The victory was going to be a national victory, and it was not Aaron’s or Hur’s responsibility to ensure that victory. It was Moses’s, but he needed the help of Aaron and Hur to have his success.

But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. (Exodus 17:12)

The king Uzziah was crowned king at the age of sixteen. He was merely a child, but he must fulfill the duties of a king. He received great help from cunning men who crafted technology that helped him win battles. He received gifts from men that enabled him to make a name for himself.

And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong. (2 Chronicles 26:15)

The need for help cannot be overemphasized. Some help manifest as human help. Some other times, they are seen as angelic help. When on the first day of the week after the gruesome murder of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome took spices for the body of their master. But there was a problem: the entrance to the grave was blocked by
