BE HELPFUL 1
“If anyone sees a fellow believer in need and has the means to help him, yet shows no pity and closes his heart against him, how is it even possible that God’s love lives in him”
1 John 3:17 (TPT)
The love of God is practical and intentional. You cannot say you have God’s love in you without an action.
God’s love for you is an action.
For God to demonstrate His love, He gave His only begotten Son to die for us.
Love doesn’t specialize in accusing and condemning others. Love focuses on demonstrating kindness to others.
As a child of God, you have the capacity of God to love others, just as God loves you through Christ.
No believer in Christ lacks the ability to Love; “…God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans 5:5)
The love of God is increasingly at work in you.
Your first response to every situation must be according to God’s love in you. His love in you enables you to live above selfishness. The Newness of life is not a self-centred life. It is love-dispensing and life-giving.
There are some believers of the Kingdom fold who are genuinely overwhelmed by needs. It is not that they lack faith but through situations which confront them, they may find themselves in some need within a period. And as part of strengthening these brethren in faith, we must supply help to them in love.
Believers must not gossip and talk down on other believers.
We must not join the world in pointing fingers towards others.
There are times you make conclusions about people and judge them wrongly. Instead of making conclusions about people, patiently find out what is going on with them.
There are times you assume a fellow brother has ignored you, yet this fellow may be battling with depression.
There are people struggling with hidden tears and untold stories. There are people who feel alone and are crushing inside. They keep contending with suicidal thoughts. Instead of sitting somewhere to castigate people, make a decision you are going to be helpful at all times.
Don’t be misled by the smiles of others. Don’t allow the beautiful pictures they keep posting on social media make you think everything is perfectly fine with them.
There are people who are choked by debts, it is not that they are stingy. Be a consolation.
Be discerning and think as a helper. Instead of persecuting people with your words and complaints. Spend time in prayer for them. Love does not assume. Love is intentional.
When you have the capacity to help others, don’t hold back. Just as God loves you, go to any extent of love to help others also.
Be HELPFUL AT ALL TIMES.
Selah!
Pray that:
1. Through the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, you will be able to perceive and discern how you can help the brethren who genuinely need your help.
2. All the brethren who need help and are struggling in secret will find help this day. In the name of Jesus.

Genesis 49
– I am a helper unto many.
– I demonstrate the love of God unto all.
