BE A FRIEND TO THOSE IN NEED

JUNE 11TH – CAPSULE 11 

TOPIC: BE A FRIEND TO THOSE IN NEED 

BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4 VS 32 – Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted (compassionate; understanding), forgiving one another (readily and freely), just as God in Christ also forgave you. [AMP] 

Friendship is a way of life to be adopted. As believers we must be our brethren's neighbours and unit of assistance. Christ Jesus calls us friends, that’s why he reveals Himself to us when we come to Him, for salvation and mercy. Every member of the body of Christ must walk in love and to do so we must be kind and helpful to one another both amongst Christians and unbelievers. Our reach is not only to the saved but to those out there in ignorance. (A friend to those in need). 

Christ taught on this about a man on transit from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves who stole everything from this man and wounded him, leaving him half dead. And by chance a priest saw him and passed another way, same thing was done and by a levite, both men left this man suffering in pains. Except a Samaritan (foreigner) that passed and had compassion on the wounded man and dressed the wounds properly and took proper care and still gave an assurance of provision of any more need. 

Are you a friend to those in need or will you constantly turn a blind eye to that poor neighbour starving at home, that wounded soul, that misguided sinner? Be kind to everyone, as you walk in love, be a channel of blessings to as much as are in need. 


Prayer: Help me Jesus, to be a good friend to my neighbour. 

Insight: Be a good friend to those in need.

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

Heaven

Date 📅 25th November, 2022 Topic Heaven (Trading Talents) Living Scripture Matthew 25:14 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. The Kingdom of Heaven was described by our Lord Jesus Christ in various descriptive narratives pointing out the hidden truth in several parables. Heaven contains important life lessons on the purpose of every child of God here on earth and finding it makes the will of God visible to us and achievable here on earth. This morning we see Heaven from the business man perspective, enriching and equipping His own servants with goods that are all profitable. Heaven is real and Christ Jesus only invest in His own servants. God doesn't bless a mess, He works with as many who believes in Christ Jesus His Son who died for the world. God instructs His Son to deposit into every child of His talents that will favor them, show that they are useful and can work with Heaven....
