Category: SEEK FOR HELP

“9 Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph,  and said to him, “Behold, in my dream a vine was before me, 

10 and in the vine were three branches; it was as though it budded, its  blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.

11 Then Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in  Pharaoh’s hand.”

12 And Joseph said to him, “This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days.

13 Now within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler.

14 But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.

15 For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews; and also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon”.

Today’s lesson is one of those areas of my life that the Lord has been working on. Some of you may be living the way am living. Sir’s and Ma’s, I hardly ask people for help and this has left a lot of us crawling instead of flying. Many didn’t know how to even ask for their right. Some believe it’s God’s duty to speak for them whereby God has shown to them their right. The problem most of us have is the fear of rejection, reproach, pride or what people will say there after, but we should remember the book of Matthew 7:7, which says, “Ask and it shall be given unto you…” We need to ask.

Joseph utilizes the best opportunity he had to send a message out of the prison. After using His talent to solve the Butler’s problem, he requested for a help. He explained he’s situation to the butler of how he’s been punished for sin he never committed. Until he asked for help his waiting period never ends. Despite asking, it took two years later before he was remembered, what if he had never asked? Luke 18:1-7, the widow kept asking for help until the judge listened to her. 

When you find the help you need to put an end to your waiting period, don’t be too proud or hesitate to ask, forget the shame and make the request. The worst that might happen is denial, but, one day, someone will render the help you are in need of. Be persistence in asking for the needed help. Let people know you need the help. If Jesus could say we should ask despite knowing what our needs are, so, why can’t we make men understand they are holding unto our help? I pray for everyone, that spirit of timidity that makes one loose his/her opportunity by not asking, that spirit is dead in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. That needed help will not pass you by in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
