That little thing

Every man who has faith needs help. Jesus needed the help of simon to carry his cross, the man at the pool(bathseda) was invalid for 38 years because he had no one to put him into the pool; No man is an island and there is nothing we can do without getting help from those around us. President Goodluck jonathan needed the citizens' help to get voted in, no man, albeit his talent and wisdom can exist without the hands of people around him. When a man doesnt get help when needed, he becomes a victim of circumstance......

Note that the greatest problem a man can have is not to receive help at the right time.

Here is an illustration,- four brothers went for rural evangelism in ijebu, ogun state; the crusade ended very late on a saturday night so they decided to travel to Lagos state very early on sunday morning. They did so as earlier planned and as they were on their way, the tyre got burst, they got down and brought out the spare tyre, the jack, shocker etc....but the whiner to lift the jack up was nowhere to be found, they searched fruitlessly, they even made some inventions to substitute it, but all was in vain, they were stranded there for three hours, at last, they resorted to calling someone from Ijebu to bring his whiner. He brought it and they got going.

Lesson- the whiner was the smallest of the requirements for fixing a spare tyre, but it was also very important, without it, nothing could be done; So also is help, help is that little match stick that can set a house already wetted with petrol ablaze, without help, you cut a frustrating figure, but with it(even if you have no talents), you would go places. Get help from man, but ultimately, remember God
