The Good Samaritan

Topic
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.

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

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
