when help arrives.

Our Help In Time Of Need
Hebrews 4:16
16Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

If you are facing a time of need right now in your life, I want you to know
that you have a standing invitation from your heavenly Father to come
boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in
time of need.


The phrase "help in time of need" means that you get healing when you are
sick, provisions when you are in lack, restoration when your relationship
with a loved one breaks down, and favour when news of retrenchment or bad
prospects is rife.


"Pastor Prince, how can I come boldly especially since I have been a lousy,
sinful Christian?"


You can come boldly because you come to God by the blood of Jesus Christ
and not by how you have lived your life. So whenever you come into God's
presence, you don't have to be afraid that your sins will be shown up
because the blood of Jesus has removed every one of them. God cannot detect
even one single speck of sin because He sees only the blood of His Son that
has been shed for your total forgiveness and acceptance.


My friend, when you have failed and need mercy, God's Word assures you that
you will find mercy when you come boldly to God. Mercy means that you don't
get the bad things you deserve, such as condemnation, poverty, failure,
loss and even death.


And mercy is not the only thing that you will obtain when you come boldly
to God. You will also find grace. Grace means that you get the good things
that you don't deserve, such as health, protection, anointing, favour, good
success and life more abundant.


So come boldly to the One who loves you passionately, unconditionally and
with an undying love. Come boldly to Him who knows everything about your
situation and has the solution. He has wisdom far beyond that doctor you
highly respect, that lawyer you greatly honour and the best experts you can
consult. Beloved, come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and
grace to help in your time of need!
