*TODAY’S THEME: The blessing of a stranger*
Text: Matthew 25:34-40
"[35]For I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you brought Me together with yourselves and welcomed and entertained and lodged Me,
[36]I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me with help and ministering care, I was in prison and you came to see Me.
[37]Then the just and upright will answer Him, Lord, when did we see You hungry and gave You food, or thirsty and gave You something to drink?
[38]And when did we see You a stranger and welcomed and entertained You, or naked and clothed You?
[39]And when did we see You sick or in prison and came to visit You?
[40]And the King will reply to them, Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least [in the estimation of men] of these My brethren, you did it for Me.
*SHOWER:*
Our Lord Jesus Christ is not relenting on His resolve to ensure that we all make it to His father's house (heaven) at the end of our journey on Earth. Today's text reminds us of the needs to help people around us who are in dare need. You don't need to wait until you're as rich as Bill Gate before you can help. You don't need to be making millions before you can offer help. There are people around you who you can uplift to the next level by just responding to their phone calls. What of those with no accommodation, water, food, shelter, etc? If you can feed your waste bins, birds and other livestock, what of your neighbour? What of that your sick neighbour, family member, friend, etc.? How many times have you prayed for others? That your fairly used cloth-why did you think is most suited for fire? If you can bless your church members, siblings, customers, etc...what prevents you from extending same to outsiders? There are so many acts of ours we must change this year if we are really ready for the kingdom!
