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.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
