TOPIC: HIS PROMISE TO HELP
TEXT: ISAIAH 41:10-14
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
MEMORY VERSE: “For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee” (ISAIAH 41:13).
MESSAGE:
King David, the Psalmist knew what it means for God to help an individual. At a tender age, he was anointed king over Israel by Samuel the prophet. King Saul sought to kill him, Absalom his son drove him from the throne. Yet in all these challenges, the help of the Lord continued to follow him. No wonder he wrote, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

God has promised to help His children. As a Christian youth, you could face challenges such as academic challenges, delay in getting admission, inability to pay school fees, temptations and persecutions; but the Lord will help you to overcome them and will provide grace and victory over all temptations if you remain steadfast and committed to His will.
A song writer wrote,
“I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus! I cannot bear my burdens alone; I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus! Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.”
Challenges should make us draw closer to God for help, instead of resorting to murmuring or complaining.
QUOTE: The Lord will help you.
CHALLENGE: Take your burden to the Lord.
PRAYER: God, help me to find help in time of need.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
