ALWAYS AVAILABLE

November 2, 2014


When you have wealthy or highly placed people as friends or relatives, the moment anything springs up that might want to bring shame, the natural thing we do is to quickly place a call to the person or run to his house/office. But from experience, sometimes you get to the person’s house or office and you are told that he/she isn’t available. You try reaching the person through the mobile phone and it’s either he/she isn’t picking the call or the number is not available.

But I know of a God whose level of availability is beyond description. A doctor could tell you he has a certain consulting hour, but the God I am talking about doesn’t have such. His word in Jer 33:3a says, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee.” In other words, anytime you call, He will answer. When Moses called on Him in Exo 14 in the middle of the night, He never said He was off duty or sleeping or not available, Bible records it that He answered him speedily and showed him what he needed to do. No wonder the psalmist in Psa 121:4 said, “Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.”

No matter how powerful your prophet or herbalist might be, he can only attend to one person at a time. But Jehovah is so dynamic that whether you are in Germany or in Kuwait, crying for His help, He is available. Irrespective of the language you are using or the time, He is listening. He created the languages and even has the times in His hands. Psa 55:17 says, “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice.”

Isa 30:19b says, “He will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.” Stop making God your last resort. He is your present help in times of trouble.

Remain blessed!
