THE HELP MINISTRY
Genesis 2:18 KJV
“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him”.
John 14:16 AMPC
“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever”.
Everyone needs help. Many more people will need help many times, (sometimes in their lives), and God has seen to it that help is available for us. The very first person God named a help is the woman or the wife. God said it was not good for a man to be alone, that He would make a help or helper for him. It was going to be a helper that is suitable, adapted, complimentary, and that is who a wife is. She doesn’t need to be educated, she doesn’t need to be very exposed, she may not even be that intelligent, yet when it comes to your matter, she is the best kind of help God can ever send you.
Isn’t it amazing how people cry, pray, and beg for help everywhere forgetting that God already blessed them with all the help they will ever need?. Packaged in your wife is help for all the challenges God has seen in your future. God who sees the end from the beginning has seen all the needs that will ever arise, He has packaged solutions in your wife, and the help she brings is both spiritual and physical.
The only other person God referred to as a help or helper is the person of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is referred to as the Comforter that God has sent to be with us forever, and the word ‘comforter’ is a compound word that means several things. Comforter means:
☑Counselor; He is God’s personal counselor to you.
☑Helper; He is the very present help in the time of need.
☑Intercessor; He is the one who helps us to pray when we don’t know what we should pray or how we ought to pray, He prays according to God’s will for us.
☑Advocate; He is our lawyer and defender.
☑Strengthener; He is the one who supplies us with strength when we are weak. When we are weak, then, He is strong.
☑Standby; He is constantly on duty for us, ready to handle any kind of issue we may encounter on our way. He is all these and more to us if we learn to acknowledge Him and to ask for His help where the need arises. Receive grace to take full advantage of the help systems or ministries of help that God has provided for you in Jesus Name.
