The Good Samaritan

The Good Samaritan

Bible Text
Luke 10:33 KJV
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,



An act of kindness from a good heart was illustrated in this verse by our Lord Jesus Christ when defining a true neighbor. Goodness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit which is seen in the spirit of a submissive child of God (Galatians 5:22 KJV
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,). It takes one who truly understands God to show an act of kindness. A certain man suffered an attack from brutal thieves and was left half dead, with no possible help whatsoever. A certain Priest and levite passed by ignoring a soul in need probably thinking it's not their problem and left him to suffer still.

Goodness is not by title or position occupied but by a heart that knows love(God) and this kind of love is Agape (the Giving Love) which is unconditional. The Priest and levite were both respectable men but they failed to show God kindness save a man who in himself felt he was not qualified to be a child of God but was full of submission and compassion for the needy according to the will of God. Our God is not partial He works with us according to our willingness and submission to His will. Jesus taught about compassion in - Matthew 5:7 KJV
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Let us do good and show kindness this morning not only to our brethren in Christ but to every soul that needs our help in the office, school, market, homes, streets and diverse places as the Holy Spirit will be leading us daily. Jesus Christ was a perfect example of the fruit of Goodness in Acts 10:38 KJV
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.



PRAYER
• Thank you Heavenly Father for your goodness and unconditional love in my life and family. Please forgive my unkindness and disobedience.
• Lord I need your Spirit to bear the fruit of Goodness in me that exudes compassion to those in need.
• I want to be a doer of your word O Lord please help me to show kindness and goodness by the Holy Spirit and power in Jesus name.


INSIGHT
A good Samaritan is a willing soul unqualified in the sight of men but exalted by the standards of God.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
