*Help Someone Today*

 *Help Someone Today*


 


 _By Prince Eudes_ 


PHILIPPIANS 2:4 NKJ 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.


Every person you see today is a person God loves. (Just like you and me, they probably don't deserve God's love, but He loves them anyway.) God would appreciate you helping them -- on His behalf.


Jesus said that His followers would be known by our love. That has to mean that people will see our love expressed through giving help to others.


JOHN 13:35 NKJ 35 "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."


The Holy Spirit is a Helper. When we allow Him to indwell us, we will also become helpers.


JOHN 15:26 NKJ 26 "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.


None of us can help everyone. But all of us can help the one in front of us. Even if it is just giving a smile, a word of encouragement, or a helping hand.


Here is an amazing fact: Whatever we do give in helping people, Jesus takes it personally.


MATTHEW 25:40 NKJ 40 "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'


The essence of God's kingdom is unselfish love. Jesus demonstrated this for us perfectly. Acts 10:38 summarizes His life by saying He went about doing good.


When God's love in our hearts is released it will result in us helping someone. That is what the love of God produces.


There is a certain satisfaction in worldly accomplishment. But it never brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. So many try (in vain) to achieve more and more success and fame and gather more and more material things. But that never brings them what they inwardly crave.


You were created in the image of God, who is love. And until you become more of a giver instead of a taker, you will not be happy.


Selfish accomplishment will never give you the inner joy and fulfillment that you will find in helping others.


You were created in God's image -- to be a blessing -- to be a helper.


If you want to start feeling better, help others. Unselfishly helping those in need will bring you joy.


SAY THIS: My purpose is to help people for God.

Persevere in Passing Down Your Faith

  Persevere in Passing Down Your Faith MESSAGE FROM PRINCE EUDES  Our efforts may at times look like failures, but that doesn’t mean God has stopped working through us to achieve His purposes. November 11, 2023 James 1:2-4 Is there someone with whom you’ve consistently but unsuccessfully tried to share Jesus? It can be disheartening, but God’s Word encourages us to not grow weary of doing good ( 2 Thess. 3:13 ). That’s the third way to pass along your faith: perseverance. Yesterday we read about how to tell loved ones about Jesus through our actions, but doing something once or even a few times isn’t enough. There must be consistency. Does what you believe have merit in small situations as well as in major ones? Do you still trust God in those times when circumstances look impossible? How do you react when things don’t go your way? What do you do when life gets tough? Do you keep loving others no matter what? Don’t be discouraged or feel guilty when you fall short. We all are ...

Lord, Teach Us to Pray

 Lord, Teach Us to Pray Keep talking to the Lord—He always welcomes you, just as you are. November 12, 2023 Matthew 9:35-38 When it comes to prayer, there are two common pitfalls to be aware of. First, when it’s unclear what to pray, some people choose not to pray at all. And second, many believers settle into a lifeless form of praying that leaves them feeling hollow and disconnected from God. Both situations lead to discontentment and frustration. As Christians, we know that we should pray, even if doing so seems daunting. But far more than any sense of obligation we may feel, it’s wise to recognize that God intended prayer as a blessing for His children: Communing with Him is a fundamental way of experiencing His fullness. We have much to gain by praying—including peace, comfort, wisdom, and God’s very presence. So it would be tragic to give up on trying. And remember, when we communicate with God, there’s no measuring stick or scorecard. A fumbling yet heartfelt attem...

To See the Glory of God’s Purposes

 To See the Glory of God’s Purposes The light of Christ provides hope, love, and power to overcome any darkness. January 2, 2024 Ephesians 1:18-19 If you’ve ever stumbled through your house in the dark, then you know that even perfect vision is useless without light. But flip a switch, and everything suddenly becomes much clearer. That’s what Paul’s getting at when he prays “that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened” (Eph. 1:18). It’s not a prayer for some kind of spiritual X-ray vision; rather, he’s asking that God enable the Ephesians to view everything they experience in the best light of all—His light. What did they need to see? The scope and richness of salvation in Christ. First, it’s grounded in hope, something the Ephesians didn’t have before their encounter with Jesus. They’d been outside God’s kingdom, but as a result of His calling, they became His people. That reality transformed not only their future but also their present. Now, as God’s treasured people, they wer...
