MOUNTAIN TOP LIFE DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY

In this context, mystery means something that baffles understanding and cannot be explained. Help means making something easier or possible to achieve. It also means the fulfillment of a need or purpose. So, when help is divine, it means it emanates from God. Therefore, divine help means help from above. From the Fire Scripture for today, we can deduce that principalities and powers are in the second heaven and they are positioned to block prayers of people and answers from God.

Human rulers of darkness of this world are here on earth to prevent and, if possible, stop us from praying. God created the heaven and the earth and everything in them belong to Him. He is a jealous God and will not share His glory with men. The devil gives. Man can also give, but perfect help and gift can only come from God to those who belong to Him. The devil and the world do not want you to have what you deserve.

God’s wish is that you should be prosperous, because He is the only One that knows what you need. He has given you a destiny that must be fulfilled and only He knows what you need to fulfil your destiny. Also, Jesus promised us help from above (the Holy Spirit) when He was going back to the Father. No man has the power to help you; only God does. Due to all these, if you want to succeed in life and make heaven at last, you must look up to heaven for your help. The consequences of seeking help from beneath or looking up to man or ungodly sources for help are grave and disastrous.

They include: disappointment, failure, sickness, affliction, poverty, mockery, disgrace, bondage, lateness in good things, trouble, murmuring and death. This is the reason why God instructed the Israelites in the wilderness, “Look up to the serpent and ye shall live.” When they looked down away from the serpent unto man, they died. We are to look up to Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith.

Beloved, when you look up to heaven for help, you shall receive genuine help, you shall be a friend of God; angels shall work for you to dislodge the devil as well as principalities and powers in the heavenly places for your sake. Heaven shall open unto you and warrior angels shall be on assignment for your sake. You shall have divine insurance and protection. You shall celebrate here on earth and be favoured. Do you need all these? If your answer is yes, from today begin to look up to God for your help. Be born again genuinely and let your eyes be fixed unto God for all your needs.

HYMN: THE LILY OF THE VALLEY

1. I have found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;

The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see,

All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.

In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay,

He tells me every care on Him to roll:

He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

2. He all my griefs has taken, and all my sorrows borne;

In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;

I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn

From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power.

Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,

Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal:

He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

3. He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,

While I live by faith and do His blessed will;

A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear,

With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.

Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face,

Where rivers of delight shall ever roll:

He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

– William S. Hays
