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.

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

Inside Jesus

DATE 28th June, 2023 TOPIC Inside Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE John 15:4 KJV Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Inside Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is where we must dwell. Just like a baby is carried in the womb of her mother for months, so must all God's children follow. The anchor scripture reveals that we must abide inside the cleft or riven side of Jesus Christ just as He also dwells inside us. No child of God or minister should ever think that he or she is sufficient or has attained a certain height in Christ Jesus to stand alone or even abide by themselves.  Our productivity of bearing fruits in this world either by evangelism, good deeds, love or any action can only be possible when we are intimate with Christ as He is with us. Without Christ Jesus inside us we cannot or it is impossible to grow spiritually and physically. Inside Christ Jesus contains all life's resources and...

NOW

Date 📅 18th October, 2022 Topic NOW Living Scripture Hebrews 11:1,7 KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [7] By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Now we begin to walk in the ways of faith and truth as our fathers in faith and mighty men of old and just as they witnessed the glory of God first hand so shall we if we act now. The perfect example is Noah and the ark, a man of grace and wisdom. The world was stained with disobedience, sinful ways and thick immoralities. And God decided to wipe the inhabitants of the earth with a great flood such as have never been before and even after. The heavens where ready to open the flood gates and the earth to let out her waters. When God spoke to Noah, he acted immediately and finished the ark on time and he eva...
