Scripture says,
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills— from whence comes my help?My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” — Psalm 121:1–2
This is a clear reminder of who and where our help truly comes from. In times of uncertainty and fear, our hope must remain in God, for He alone is our Helper.
When the man at the Beautiful Gate encountered Peter and John, what he asked for was alms—just enough to get by. He had been lame for over forty years (Acts 4:22). By this time, he was no longer expecting healing; he only wanted to survive.
He sat daily at a beautiful gate, yet his life was anything but beautiful.
Oh what a contradiction!
Many of us have been in situations where we are surrounded by good things, hearing testimonies from everyone else, yet feeling left out.
But that day, his story changed.
His encounter with Peter and John and the healing introduced him to Jesus, the true Helper. What he thought he needed (alms) was not what he truly needed. What he needed was a change in story, and that’s what God gave him.
Beloved, sometimes what we think we want is not what we truly need. But when we look up to the Helper, He looks upon us with mercy and gives us what we truly need.
I bring you this announcement today that Your Ebenezer, your Helper, has come!
Help has shown up for you.
Proclaim it. Own it. Prophesy it.
Stay revived!
