There is a Part for Everyone to Play in Kingdom Stewardship โ€“ Part 6

๐Ÿ“– Scripture Reference: Ephesians 4:16

Introduction

๐Ÿ”น Just as a planting season is crucial for a farmer, a revival season is a spiritually demanding period for believers โ€“ Luke 10:1-2; Haggai 1:3-9
๐Ÿ”น Engaging in kingdom advancement endeavours yields the highest and most incomparable rewards โ€“ Exodus 23:25-26; Matthew 6:33
๐Ÿ”น Every believer must ensure they are not mere onlookers in this prophetic turnaround season but active partakers of its glory โ€“ Proverbs 10:5; 2 Corinthians 4:16-17

A Place for Helping the Needy Among the Brethren

1๏ธโƒฃ Helping the Needy is a Command from God
๐Ÿ“– Galatians 6:2, 10; 1 John 3:15-18
๐Ÿ”น We are commanded to bear one anotherโ€™s burdens as a sign of love and obedience.
๐Ÿ”น True Christianity is demonstrated in our care for the brethren, not just in words but in actions.

๐Ÿ“Œ The love of Christ compels us to care for those in need!

2๏ธโƒฃ Every Seed Sown to the Needy is Lending to the Lord
๐Ÿ“– Proverbs 19:17; Proverbs 28:27
๐Ÿ”น Whatever we do for the needy, God takes personally and rewards accordingly.
๐Ÿ”น Giving to the poor does not reduce us; rather, it positions us for divine provision.

๐Ÿ“Œ When you give to the needy, God becomes your rewarder!

3๏ธโƒฃ Giving Proves the Sincerity of Our Love for God
๐Ÿ“– John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 8:8
๐Ÿ”น Godโ€™s love is demonstrated in givingโ€”if we love, we must also give.
๐Ÿ”น Our giving is proof that we truly care about the things of God.

๐Ÿ“Œ Love without giving is incomplete!

4๏ธโƒฃ Revival Time is Ordained as a Helping Time Among Godโ€™s People
๐Ÿ“– Acts 4:34-35; Proverbs 11:24-25
๐Ÿ”น The early church experienced a revival, and none among them lacked.
๐Ÿ”น Revival is marked by generosity and selflessness in meeting the needs of others.

๐Ÿ“Œ When we help others, God ensures we never lack!

Action Steps

โœ… Identify a needy person within the church and be a blessing to them.
โœ… Develop a lifestyle of generosity, knowing that God rewards givers.
โœ… Support the less privileged within your means, both spiritually and materially.

Prayer Point

๐Ÿ™ Father, in the name of Jesus, give me the heart of love and compassion. Help me to be a channel of blessing to the needy, and may I never lack divine supply in Jesus’ name! Amen!

Prophetic Blessing

๐Ÿ“ข I declare that as you give to the needy and show love among the brethren, the heavens shall remain open over you! Divine provision and supernatural abundance shall be your portion, in Jesusโ€™ mighty name! Amen!

๐Ÿ”ฅ Jesus is Lord! ๐Ÿ”ฅ
