Caring With a Godly Heart (I I I)
10TH September, 2021
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 4, Daniel 5, Daniel 6
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Prov. 11: 24-28
24 There is that scattereth, and yet
increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to
poverty.
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall
curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth
favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall;
but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
MEMORY VERSE:” The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that
watereth shall be watered also himself.” – Prov. 11: 25
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are, but how
happy other people can be because of you. Let goodness flow from you into other
lives!
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a
worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I Decree
upon your life that you become a showcase of God’s goodness and power, in the
name of Jesus.
The
MESSAGE:
Jesus Christ remains our Ultimate Role Model in caring. He lived
and cared for persons of various categories, status, age, spirituality
notwithstanding. He is compassionate and loving. He knows the mind of men. He
knows their needs even before they say it. Jesus came to heal, save and
deliver.
He heals the sick, binds the broken hearted and liberates those
in bondage. He expects us to do the same, esteeming others before ourselves. It
is a mark of humility and brokenness. He said, “Greater works than this shall
ye do……” (John 14:12). Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Caring is an act of peace
and kindness. Only with Him and through Him can we achieve this all-encompassing
peace, both in the giver and the recipient.
Caring God’s own way brings cure to sick and hurting minds. It
involves speaking words of encouragement and edification to strengthen the weak.
There are many in need of inner healing all around you, both in and out of
Church. Have you ever cared for the aged around you, the less privileged and
the helpless? Decide to do something today.
Start from somewhere. Don’t despise the day of little beginning.
Be kind, all the same, even when you are not cared for! Every small drop of
kindness from you to others becomes a ripple, spreading beyond you and your
lifetime in the ocean of life. These acts of kindness write volume about you on
the table of the hearts of men. Scriptures repeatedly made mention of caring
for one another as being the very heart beat of God (Pro.19:17), and signs of
good and healthy Christian lifestyle (Rom.12: 10, 13).
Keeping to yourself or being stingy with your love and substance amounts to miserliness, in every manner of it. Unfortunately, no man increases under such practices (Prov. 11:24) Apostle Paul said far beyond his harrowing experience in ministry, the care of Churches is utmost on his mind (2 Cor. 11:28). What an affirmation of genuine love for souls! He constantly taught brethren how to spend and be spent, for the sake of caring for fellow Christians.
Most importantly he emphasized the issue of giving willingly and
cheerfully, not grudgingly. (2 Cor. 9: 6-8). He taught them to give not only
their substance but first themselves. This true and genuine service is pleasing
unto God (Heb. 13:16).
PRAYER POINTS:

Spirit of love, kindness and goodness from the Lord, possess me now, in the
