One way to get help in life is to help others. As ironic as it may seem, this is the principle that God’s word teaches. “Help” also follows the principle of sowing and reaping. If you sow “help” you are sure to receive it when the tables turn. In fact, it will come back to you good measure press down, shaken together and running over.
On the subject of help, Solomon by the Spirit has this to say, “He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be answered” (Proverbs 21:13). You see, irrespective of your circumstance in life, there are people below you who you can help. Stopping and attending to such folks in the course of your endeavors is what brings the help you also need. You must also know that, when you are not ready to help other people, you shut the doors of help on your life.
The Bible says, when you shut your ears to the cry of other people because you don’t want to make a turn to respond to people, you will also not get people to attend to you when you cry for help.
A story was told of a young man that was taken ill with a death threatening disease. In his desire to get healed, he went to be ministered to in a healing service, but as he waited in the service for the man of God to approach him and pray for him, he noticed another sick fellow who was carried to the service in a helpless manner. In fact, this sick person was almost close to his last breath when considered by the young man. The young man upon noticing this got up and started praying for the healing and miracle of the other sick fellow. Not long after, the man of God ministered to the one that came in last and was healed. It was amidst the joy and thanking God for the miracle he had wrought on the man that was almost dead that the young also realized that, he was standing on his feet and couldn’t trace any symptoms of the ill health he brought.
The question one may ask is “what happened?”. Well help begot help. Help generated help. Help produced help. The young man went beyond the “death threat” on his life to pray for another person’s healing and he also got his help.
Inasmuch as you are looking for help from the Lord, also make it your calling to help others. That help will help you.
Read: Psalm 121:1-2 “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.”
Prayer: Lord, I pray that in as much as I need help in this life, I will also turn to be of help to others. Amen
