I Will Call Upon The Lord

Hi friends,

Too many times the Christian pilgrims have been oppressed, depressed, obsessed and even frustrated on this Kingdom Highway which ought not to be so. This has been so simply because they have forgotten to call on the Lord of the way.

It is with this understanding that the Psalmist made a proclamation in the book of Psalm 18:1 - 3 which says;

I will love thee, o Lord, my strength. The  Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler; and the horn of my salvation; and my high tower, I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies

The Psalmist took out his time to declare his love for the Lord his God in the place of worship. You could just imagine some of the qualifiers and encomiums he used for God in the place of worship. After which he said he would call upon the Lord who alone is worthy to be praised.

Who do you worship? Who do you call upon in the times of trials and difficulty? Who occupies the innermost part of your being? God or man or self? Situation and circumstances or the weight and height of your mountain? Who is at the center and helm of your life affairs?

At a time in the scriptures certain converts came to the realization of their errors and ran to Apostle Peter for help. The Apostle did emphatically point to Jesus the Lord of the way when He told them that they ‘that call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!’

In my little walk with God, I am yet to see a man who has called upon Jesus genuinely and has been turned away by the Lord. To the best of my knowledge and experience, a fellow man will only compound your problems or better still give it an entirely different interpretation or outlook.

Man is bound to fail you because of his human limitations. Self will fail because it has been divinely programmed that by the arm of flesh shall no man prevail. It is at this level of self that the devil finds a foothold and comes in just to steal, kill and destroy.

Today by the same help divine that I have received of the Lord, I admonish you to call upon the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, healing, deliverance and victory in the midst of life’s battles. I counsel you to run to the well of living waters where the weary pilgrim receives succor.

I dare you to call upon Jesus and see him do for you beyond your expectation and imagination. I plead with you to love my Jesus because He alone can save to the uttermost those who call upon His name.

He never sleeps, He never slumbers. He never gets weary or tired of hearing and answering your prayers, He is the ever present help in the times of need and the only who is ever beautiful for all situation of our lives no matter how ugly or unpleasant it may look to the eye of man.

Why not call upon Him whose arms are not too short to save and whose ears are not too dull to hear the slightest mutter of prayer from a sincere heart? Why not ask help from Him who is the help of the helpless and the Hope of the faithful? Why not bow in humility to worship Him who is the Lord of all.

Call upon the Lord today and He will show forth for you because He is only a prayer away. Halleluyah!

I hope to see you at the eternal shores where we will sing the song of victory and dance the dance of overcomers.  There also we will receive a grand welcome home from the Master Himself,

Your friend and fellow Pilgrim in the Kingdom Race,

Pastor Janet.
