TOPIC: Helping The Needy (Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Wednesday, 9 May 2018)
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Deuteronomy 15:7-11
MEMORY VERSE:
“For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.” – Psalms 9:18
The MESSAGE:
To be in need is to require the fulfilment of a particular good or service. There are different types of needs. In the human hierarchy of need, we have food, shelter and clothing. These are but a few needs of the average man. God’s intention is not for mankind to wallow in need but sin has brought this woe upon us. The Fire Scripture for today likens those whose eyes are evil against the poor to sinners. God demands that we assist the poor and by so doing, His blessing will come unto us.
The Church has deviated from attending to the needs of her members; instead, our leaders are after buying the latest vehicles and going for vacations in beautiful places all over the world while many Christians are dying of hunger, poverty and starvation. Many Christians are facing terrible hardship; some are languishing in hospitals where they cannot pay their bills. The early church also faced problems (Acts 6:1-2). The Grecians complained that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. The Apostles attended to the problem and proffered a lasting solution. As a result, the needs of the widows were not neglected any longer.
The modern day Christians are busy accumulating wealth and riches to the detriment of their souls. God cares for the poor amongst us and He wants us to love and care for them as well. When we care for the poor and the needy, we take care of God Himself indirectly (Matthew 25:40).
Therefore, let us stop excuses based on fear; the fear that when you help people they might use it against you. Give and assist the poor in love without any form of fear.
