If you will only let me help you, if you will only obey, then I will make you rich! (Isaiah 1:19)
God can do anything, He is the Lord, the God of all flesh, and there’s nothing impossible with Him, all you need is faith. His power is unlimited. Yet, many short-circuit that power and make it ineffective in their own lives because of doubt and unbelief and there are others who try to “help” God by dictating to Him how they want Him to do what they want Him to do.
Let me give you an example: Let’s consider that you want God to give you a house, a car or any other thing in the physical realm and you know its monetary value. When you pray, don’t ask Him for the money; rather specifically ask for what you want. You might think, “But I can’t get it without money!” But who told you that? God isn’t limited by your situation or any circumstance. When you tell Him what you want, He’ll give it to you.
Many don’t get their prayers answered because they ask amiss (James 4:3), not knowing the Word of God. To get the right results, you must ask according to God’s Word. Some people set their focus on men and pray, “God, use xyz to help me…” Such prayer will limit the influence and power of God on your life. Always remember that God is your help, not man. The psalmist said, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth” (Psalm 121:1-2).
He doesn’t want your attention to be on any man! He can use anybody and anything to fulfill His Word in your life. Many people give God plans to help them out! They pray but nothing happens, meanwhile they’re responsible for limiting God in their lives. Once they expect things to happen a certain way, all their attention and focus is toward that direction, which mostly is away from God and His Word. Don’t be that way. Quit looking up to man for help, look to the Lord; for your help is in the Name of the LORD!
Confession:
I’m helped by God and I’m obedient and God has made me rich. My help comes from Lord who made the heaven and earth. I don’t focus on men, but instead I make my requests known to God and I thank Him for answering them. Glory to God!!
