Think More About Others (2)

â€˜He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will pay back what he has given.' Proverbs 19:17 NKJV

Here are four ways in which you can express kindness and generosity towards others.

(1) Giving your time. Giving a few hours of your time to someone, especially if you're a busy person, can mean the world to a person who's hurting.

(2) Giving your talent. Organisations like Mercy Ships marshal the talents of gifted people to relieve suffering and provide shelter to the needy. That's Scriptural! (See Matthew 25:34-46.)

(3) Giving your treasure. â€˜He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will pay back what he has given.' Can you imagine the interest God pays?

(4) Giving your temperament. Everybody you meet, struggles with anxieties and fights battles they usually don't talk about. So, your smile and word of encouragement can be like a lifeline that helps keep them afloat that day. Selfishness is so innate in each of us that it's like breathing; we do it without thinking. So, in order to change we must rearrange our priorities and reprogramme our minds and decide, â€˜I will not let this day pass until I have said or done something to help, bless, and encourage another human being.'

God told Abraham, Today pray: â€˜Father, I thank You for every resource and advantage You have given me. Help me always to remember that these blessings are from You, and that they are to be shared with others for Your glory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.'

SoulFood: 1 Sam 14-15, Luke 23:44-56, Ps 91, Pr 21:28-31

BROKENNESS

In your relationship with God, one place you need to get to is the place of brokenness. To be broken is to have some form of injury that makes the object less than a whole. In spiritual parlance, it is to break or subdue the flesh in order to be more profitable to the kingdom of God. Why do you need to be broken?...More

DELIVERANCE: DIVINE ASSURANCE

When God speaks, that settles it. He reigns forever. When He gives a decree, it is forever. When He says "surely", it means surely. When He says surely, it will be well with me, nobody can change it. He says surely, by His stripes I am healed, and nobody can change this. He says surely, everything I do shall...More
