Message
Sometime in 1980, there was a woman in RCCG who was trusting God for the fruit of the womb. Although we all prayed for the woman as a church, my wife and I took it upon ourselves to pray for her regularly on our family altar. Shortly after, she informed us that she was pregnant. On hearing the good news, we were really happy for her. We were dancing and singing praises to God on her behalf when she told us, "Somebody advised me to look elsewhere for a solution to my childlessness." She continued, "The people I went to for a solution also used the Bible. However, they also performed some traditional rituals and asked me to participate in certain rituals as well. Look at the result now; I am pregnant." This happened over four decades ago, yet the last time I heard of her, she was still pregnant.
There was another woman who also desperately wanted a child. She got tired of waiting on God, so she sought fetish means to find a solution to her problem. Shortly after, she became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. After she had her baby, she told those who were still waiting on the Lord, "You better take action and get a solution to your problem like I did, instead of wasting your time praying." When the woman's son was about six years old, he went into her room one day, stripped himself naked, and said, "Let's have sex." The mother was shocked and asked him, "What did you say?" The boy responded, "I said I want to have sex with you." The perplexed mother then took him to a deliverance minister. During the deliverance session, the boy said, "Don't waste your time; I am not possessed. I am a demon incarnate."
Beloved, do not seek any kind of help outside God. Those who seek other gods and alternatives to God will eventually end up in sorrow. Today's memory verse says that the sorrow of those who seek after other gods shall be multiplied. Those who seek help apart from God always pay dearly for it because the devil has nothing free to give. I implore you today to continue to tarry in God's presence. Put your complete trust in Him because His help is on the way, and He will never disappoint you (Hebrews 10:35-38). I pray that the Lord will continue to uphold you and strengthen your faith in Him, in Jesus' name.

Hymn:
My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less
Prayer Point:
Father, please help me to wait patiently on You for Your help at all times.
My hope is built on nothing less
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
