LET US CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER.
BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED:
AS BELOVED OF CHRIST, LET US INCULCATE THE HABIT OF CARING FOR ONE ANOTHER AS ONE BIG FAMILY IN CHRIST.
LOOKING INWARDLY, AT OUR PLACE OF WORSHIP AND AMONG MEMBERS OF OUR OWN FAMILY, THERE WILL BE SOME THAT ARE LOOKING UP UNTO YOU FOR HELP IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
WE ARE MANDATED BY GOD TO CARE FOR THE POOR AND LESS-PRIVILEGED.
HEAR WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT CARING FOR OTHER BELIEVERS IN THE BOOK OF JAMES, 2:- 15-17 “IF A BROTHER OR SISTER IS POORLY CLOTHED AND LACK IN DAILY FOOD, AND ONE OF YOU SAYS TO THEM, “GO IN PEACE, BE WARMED AND FILLED,” WITHOUT GIVING THEM THE THINGS NEEDED FOR THE BODY, WHAT GOOD IS THAT? SO ALSO FAITH BY ITSELF, IF IT DOES NOT HAVE WORKS, IS DEAD.
THIS IS THE WORD OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR CARING FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD. 1 TIMOTHY, 5:-8 “BUT IF ANY PROVIDE NOT FOR HIS OWN, AND ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OF HIS HOUSE, HE HAS DENIED THE FAITH, AND IS WORSE THAN AN INFIDEL.”
SOME BELIEF GOD DOES NOT CREATE ANYONE TO BE POOR, THAT THEY ARE POOR DUE TO LAZINESS.
WRONG, THIS IS WHAT THE BILE SAYS IN THE BOOK OF DEUT. 15:-11 “THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOME IN THE LAND WHO ARE POOR. THAT IS WHY I AM COMMANDING YOU TO SHARE FREELY WITH THE POOR AND WITH OTHER ISRAELITES IN NEED. (1 SAMUEL, 2:-7)
THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE HAS TO SAY CONCERNING LENDING AMONG THE CHILDREN OF GOD: DEUT. 23:-19 “DO NOT CHARGE A FELLOW ISRAELITE AN INTEREST, WHETHER ON MONEY OR FOOD OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAY EARN INTEREST.” (1 TIMOTHY, 6:-17-19)
IN CONCLUSION: NOW TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO KEEP YOU FROM STUMBLING AND PRESENT YOU BLAMELESS BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF HIS GLORY WITH GREAT JOY, TO THE ONLY GOD OUR SAVIOR, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD, BE GLORY, MAJESTY, DOMINION, AND AUTHORITY, BEFORE ALL TIME AND NOW AND FOREVER. AMEN.
