The Message:
In this context, mystery means something that baffles understanding and cannot be explained. Help means making something easier or possible to achieve. It also means the fulfilment of a need or purpose. So, when help is divine, it means it emanates from God. Therefore,
Divine help means help from above. From the Fire Scripture for today, we can deduce that principalities and powers are in the second heaven and they are positioned to block prayers of people and answers from God. Human rulers of darkness of this world are here on earth to prevent and, if possible, stop us from praying. God created the heaven and the earth and everything in them belong to Him. He is a jealous God and will not share His glory with men. The devil gives. Man can also give, but perfect help and gift can only come from God to those who belong to Him. The devil and the world do want you to have what you deserve. God’s wish is that you should be prosperous, because He is the only One that knows what you need. He has given you a destiny that must be fulfilled and only He knows what you need to fulfil your destiny. Also, Jesus promised us help from above (the Holy Spirit) when He was going back to the Father. No man has the power to help you; only God does. Due to all these, if you want to succeed in life and make heaven at last, you must look up to heaven for your help.
The consequences of seeking help from beneath or looking up to man or ungodly sources for help are grave and disastrous. They include: disappointment, failure, sickness, affliction, poverty, mockery, disgrace, bondage, lateness in good things, trouble, murmuring and death. This is the reason why God instructed the Israelites in the wilderness, “Look up to the serpent and ye shall live.” When they looked down away from the serpent unto man, they died.
We are to be born again genuinely and let our eyes be fixed on God for all our needs. Beloved, when you look up to heaven for your need, you shall receive genuine help; angels shall work for you to dislodge the devil as well as principalities and powers in the heavenly places for your sake. Heaven shall open unto you, and warrior angels shall be on assignment for your sake. You shall have divine insurance and protection. You shall celebrate here on earth and be favored.
