INTRODUCTION:
Many believers begin their journey with passion but fail to finish because they lack perseverance and consistency. Divine help is often not denied but delayed until character, endurance, and faithfulness are fully formed. God values not only how strongly a believer starts, but how faithfully they continue.
Perseverance is the spiritual strength to remain steadfast under pressure, while consistency is the discipline to maintain obedience regardless of feelings or circumstances. Together, they form a powerful combination that attracts divine help over time.
This message reveals that those who endure trials, remain faithful in obedience, and continue trusting God despite delays will eventually experience undeniable divine intervention.
1. PERSEVERANCE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR DIVINE HELP
God’s promises are accessed through endurance.
a) Perseverance proves genuine faith (Hebrews 10:36)
Endurance confirms trust in God’s promises despite delay.
b) Perseverance is formed through trials (James 1:2-4)
Difficult seasons refine spiritual strength.
c) Perseverance resists discouragement (Luke 18:1)
Persistent prayer prevents spiritual fainting.
d) Perseverance keeps hope alive (Romans 5:3-5)
Endurance produces hope that does not disappoint.
Biblical Example:
Job — He endured severe trials and was later restored by divine help (Job 1–42).
2. CONSISTENCY ATTRACTS DIVINE TRUST AND SUPPORT
God helps those who remain faithful over time.
a) Consistency reflects spiritual discipline (1 Corinthians 15:58)
Steadfast service positions believers for reward.

Faithfulness in small things qualifies believers for greater help.

Steady obedience produces lasting fruit.
Biblical Example:

3. PERSEVERANCE AND CONSISTENCY COMMAND DIVINE TIMING
Divine help is released in God’s appointed season.
a) God operates by divine timing (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
Seasons are determined by God, not pressure.
b) Waiting refines obedience (Isaiah 40:31)
Strength is renewed through patient endurance.
c) Delay does not mean denial (Habakkuk 2:3)
God’s promises will surely come to pass.

Faithfulness ensures readiness when help arrives.

4. FINISHING STRONG GUARANTEES LASTING DIVINE HELP
The end of a matter matters to God.
a) God rewards endurance to the end (Matthew 24:13)
Salvation and victory are for those who endure.
b) Finishing well preserves legacy (2 Timothy 4:7-8)
Faithfulness crowns destiny with honour.
c) Consistency protects spiritual breakthroughs (Proverbs 24:16)
Rising again sustains divine favour.
