24/7 DOXA Content, 24th September-DON’T WITHHOLD GOOD FROM OTHERS
_____________________________________
FOCAL TEXT: Proverbs 3 vs 27►► ”Do not withhold good from those who need it, when you have the ability to help.” ~| NET |_____________________________________
FAVOURED greetings Cherished one. God has designed that we are blessed in order to be a blessing unto others. God has so many ways to answer our prayers. However, most times we see Him using people as the channel. And you may be the answer to someone’s prayer request. Do not think you deserve to be helped by others while you haven’t made up your mind to do same to others. This is why the scripture admonishes us to extend good or help to others. Our focal text says, do not withhold or hold back or deny good from those who need it.
Thus, you must walk with the mindset of a giver, not a miser. Be “wisely” generous and liberal to others when you have the ability. Note, it didn’t say IF it’s within your ability, which makes it conditional. *But WHEN, that’s, you will definitely have the opportunity and ability to help others in one way or the other.* The Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul enjoined this in the New Testament in Galatians 6:10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” The Message Translation puts our focused text this way “Never walk away from someone who deserves help; your hand is God’s hand for that person ” (Proverbs 3:27).
Yes, as Christ ambassador, God loves to express Himself and His good deeds through you. He wants to use your hands to touch and bless lives; He loves to use you to make others smile and laugh. Your willingness, readiness and ability to do good or help others can reduce their burdens, load, sorrows and make life worth living for them. Refuse to procrastinate helping others; for the next verse says ”Do not say to your neighbor, Go, and come again; and tomorrow I will give”(Prv 3:28). Extend good to others; don’t be cold-hearted and procrastinate. For the good you make happen to others, God will make happen to you in this journey of life. The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always.
