Do good to others when you can

Do good to others when you can

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.

If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say, “Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.”

Proverbs 3:27-28 (NLT)

The scriptures above tells us not to withhold good from those who deserve it when we have the power to help. Why is it important do good to others when you can?

1. What you sow you will reap

It is a spiritual law that whatever you sow that is what you will reap. If you sow kindness in the lives of others, you will also reap kindness. Even if you don’t receive the reward in your life time, your children and grandchildren will reap the harvest:

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Galatians 6:7 (KJV)

2. When you help the poor you are lending to the Lord

When you help the poor who are not able to repay you, you are lending it to the Lord and in due season the Lord will pay you back:

If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD–and He will repay you!

Proverbs 19:17 (NLT)

3. When you bless others you are doing it unto the Lord

When we help those in need, we are not just doing it unto them but we are doing it unto our Lord Jesus Christ and He will reward us on the day of judgement:

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

Matthew 25:34-36

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me to do good to others when it is in my power to, because I know I am doing it unto You in Jesus name.

If you have faith, you can have what you say

 

Thursday 7th June 2017

And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.

Matthew 21:22

 

The Bible is full of God’s faithful promises that He says he will fulfill in our lives. The Bible makes wonderful promises from God to us, from the promise of protection, to the promise of His love for us and His ability to restore broken lives.  Another of God’s promises is that if we have faith in our prayers and believe we will have what we ask for, God will hear our requests and answer us.

1, God’s currency is faith

In the physical realm we require money as a currency to survive in order to acquire shelter, food, clothing and entertainment. In the spiritual realm, God requires faith. God’s word says without faith we cannot please God.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Hebrews 11:6

With faith we can receive all that God has promised us. In order to receive, God’s word tells us we only need the faith of a mustard seed.

2, We only need the faith of a mustard seed

God only requires a mustard seed of faith to activate his power. We can pray to receive faith. The more we read and meditate on the word of God in the Bible, the more our faith will grow.

So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

Luke 17:6

Man’s faith activates God’s power. In Mark 5:25-34, we are told the story of the woman with an issue of blood for 12 years. She had persisted with doctors and no one could heal the persistent blood flow. The Bible says it was the woman’s faith that healed her. Without faith, the healing she encountered would have never taken place.

Summary

With faith all things are possible. We can pray to God to help us faith. The more we read the Bible the more we will have faith and receive God’s promises.  God is faithful to His promises and His word. He says He is a God that cannot lie (Numbers 23:19). In that case, we can rest assured that all we ask for from God, in line with God’s word will be given to us.

God desires for us to be fruitful

Thursday 23rd March 2017

But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Matthew 13:23

God’s desire is that we bear fruit on a daily basis. In order to bear fruit we must provide the best foundations for ourselves. If the ground is not good then we cannot expect to bear fruit in great numbers, as the scripture above mentions. God desires us to bear fruit not just spiritually but also in our health, emotions and finances. Its God’s desire we flourish in all areas (3 John 1:2). So how do we hear the word, understand it and then bear good fruit?

1, We must keep our heart pure

The scriptures warn us that in order to bear an abundance of good fruit we need to have a pure heart and be patient.

But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

Luke 8:15

We need to make sure we are in right standing with God and avoid the things God advises us to not entertain such as immorality, idolatry and anger (Galatians 5:19-21).

2, Sew in the spirit and not in the flesh

In order to sew on good ground and reap an abundance of fruit we need to sew in the spirit and not in the flesh. The Bible warns us that the things of the flesh reap corruption, whereas the things of the Spirit are where everlasting life resides.

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

Galatians 6:8

3, Relying upon God’s strength and not our own.

In order to be successful in bearing an abundance of fruit, including financial gain we need to rely upon God’s strength and not our own.  We need to pray and the Holy Spirit will give us the strength and wisdom to do God’s will according to His desire and not our own. Outside of Gods strength we rely upon the flesh and we will ultimately fail.

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; ¹⁰ that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

1 Colossians 9:10 

Summary

In summary we can bear fruit in the Lord provided we keep our hearts pure. We need to have right standing before God and resist the desire to sin. When we do sin we can repent for our God is ever merciful (Psalm 103:10). We need to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh and do this in God’s strength and wisdom and not our own. When we have right standing with God, God’s answers to our prayers are yes and amen (2^nd Corinthians 1:20). We can then expect to bear fruit, including fruits for our finances.

God is waiting on you to possess the land

Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: “How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you?

Joshua 18:3

A time came when the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of meeting there. Even though they had captured most of the land, there were still seven tribes of the children of Israel which had not yet received their inheritance. Joshua then asked them how long they were going to wait around until they took possession of the land. This teaches us a number of important lessons about our own journey here on earth:

1. The land is there for you to possess

Joshua told the children of Israel that God had already given them the land and that land was there to be possessed. God has placed a land or territory for all of us as His children to inherit here on earth. That land represents an assignment that He has placed you on earth to fulfil. When you wait on Him and obey Him, He will promote you to possess the land:

Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

Psalm 37:34 (NKJV)

2. The key to possess the land is taking action

Joshua told the children of Israel that the land was there for them to possess and was encouraging them to take action. Likewise whatever assignment God has placed in your heart to achieve can become a reality if you are determined to take action to bring it to pass. James tells us that if we say we have faith but we don’t take action it is completely useless:

Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

James 2:17 (NKJV)

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me not to be a hearer of Your Word only but to be a doer in Jesus name.
