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...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People  Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
