HELPING ONE ANOTHER

Your success lies in how you help others reach their goals. Do not help others ruin their goals.

 Reverend G. S. Adeyemo

8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1Peter: 8-10

Introduction

The Lord is recharging His Church. He is repositioning her for the glorious appearing of our Lord. He is looking for willing and humble hearts to serve Him. Those are the faithful stewards who will give all it takes to conquer the world for Christ not through bullet or ballots but through sacrificial love.  Such people will not constitute themselves as power structure in the household of faith but give themselves to serving others.  Those are the next generations of great and successful children of God. 

God’s Expectation: Every believer must rise to the   help of others. You need the help of someone in your life to reach your goal or to fulfill divine plans for your life. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. James 1:27; Hebrews 13:16; John 3:17 

Helping One Another Is A Necessity: For any relationship or society to thrive economically, the people must be ready to help one another.  God’s declaration that, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him." is very significant (Genesis 2:18)   In other words, you need someone's help. Others need you to be there for them. Collin Willis says, “Everyday we have the opportunity to give life or take life, simply by our willingness to lend a hand and shoulder the burdens of another. “ The Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul says, “Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” Your success lies in how you help others reach their goals. Do not help others ruin their goals. 

Many are so quick to point out faults in others. God gives you the ability to discover those faults, failures, inadequacies or shortcomings so that you can be responsible for their lifting up. If you fail to help that person to succeed, you will be held accountable for his or her blood. 

How can we help One Another? The Church is meant to help one another and the dying world. How?  We will continue from their next week. As you go today, look for someone to help and you will be helped to be great in Jesus name.
