ALL men need the following seven things, among many others, whether they know it or not:—

  1. Saviour, to deliver from the power of darkness (Col. 1:13), as Israel needed to be delivered from Pharaoh’s power (Exodus 3:8).
  2. Strength, to empower the soul to walk in God’s ways (Isaiah 40:31), as the lame man required power to enable him to walk (Acts 3:6).
  3. Satisfier to fill, that the longing of the heart may be met (Psalm 107:9), as the need of the multitude was satisfied with Christ’s provision (John 6:11-12).
  4. Sanctifier to separate, that the believer may be separated from the evil, and kept to the good (2 Cor. 7:1), as the Levites were sanctified by Aaron (Numbers 18:2, &c.).
  5. Succourer, to aid in the hour of weakness and temptation (Hebrews 2:18), as David was the succourer of Israel when he acted on their behalf (1 Samuel 17:50).
  6. Shield, to defend in the time of aggressive warfare (Eph. 6:16), as Paul indicates when he writes to Timothy (2 Timothy 2:1-4).
  7. Sovereign to rule, that the domain of man-soul may be kept under the rule of Emmanuel (1 Peter 3:15, R.V.); this is illustrated in the centurion, who said that he was a man under authority (Luke 7:8).
