"God helps those who helps themselves"

Although popular, this phrase is not found in the Bible. However, it is correct in regards to salvation because none of us are capable of saving ourselves. In this sense, we are helpless.

Apart from salvation, there is perhaps a way that the concept "God helps those who help themselves" is correct. As an example, if you asked me to help you move a piece of furniture, but then just watched me as I moved the furniture for you, I was not actually helping you. I would be doing the work for you.

Some of us have a "Gimme" type of Faith. "Gimmie" some money, "Gimmie" something to eat, "Gimmie" a break, clothes, a room, etc. All the while that we are giving, all is well. They get what they want, but they have not changed their issues which got them into the situation that they're in. They are still living recklessly and expect someone who is trying to live right to provide for them. They are still addicted, they're still lying, they're still scheming on how they can get over on those they are counting (preying) on.

Many people fall into the trap of inactivity. Many people ask God for help, but then expect God to do everything Himself. When God has already provided a way of escape or has already provided provision and blessings, they miss it because of stubbornness and hard-headedness. God requires them to move in faith to receive the blessing. He'll break the chains that are binding you, but when He breaks the chains, we must move from that place, not remain in that mess with a "Gimmie" spirit. Many fail to receive blessings because they have put conditions on it..."if you do this for me, then i'll..." The problem with this is that you should have put yourself in a position to receive. Saying that you are ready to receive but still carrying drugs in your pockets, a pipe in your bag or the cell phone number to your supplier is not being ready! Don't blame God, The Church or Christians when that "Gimmie" spirit is rightfully rebuked in love. Yes, in love. God wants you to be free, you have to want to be free and to move into what He has already provided for you.

Be healed, set free and delivered. God requires you to STEP OUT on faith. Stepping out requires you to move. You will be pleasantly surprised by what you will receive and achieve when you move!
