The Extension of God's Hand

The Extension of God's Hand

As we go to church today to stand on the pulpit to lead, preach and to pray, sit in the pews to listen and Worship or in the aisle to serve, let us remember that we can't say we love, serve or Worship God who we don't see when we don't love those children of His that we see and Worship together...

We must keep in mind that behind the facade of good looking dresses are empty stomachs, aching hearts and depressed minds in need of answers.

We must remember that God would rather use the resources we have tangible or not tangible to answer someone's prayers and troubles and the person will give God thanks for answered prayers.

We must not forget the situation of the economy not to remember that many are only going to church because they see hope in God and in His people...

If you have silver and gold, remember it's Worship to share and if you have something else use it to be a help to someone today...

It's hypocritical to think everyone should be hardworking and should have faith to turn water to wine or multiply two fishes and five loaves to feed thousands...so that we may be absolved of any responsibility of caring and sharing with them..

It's foolhardy to think since we have our own needs sharing with others can wait till we have all sufficiency in all things... If we wait we won't ever have the opportunity to be...

But when we do, we become the extension of God. We become His hands. And so He strengthens us and empowers us. He in turn becomes indebted to us because he who cares for the poor lends to the Lord and the Lord will pay back with interest...

But when we shut up own bowels of compassion, and we turn off our sensitivity and become untouched by what is happening around us we show that we haven't shared in the love of God and we aren't partakers yet of  divine nature...

And to those who would do it without humility and love. Who would seek the appreciations of men and would decline when they aren't duly recognised... We must understand that it's only a privilege to be an extension of God in this regards and if we won't do, our not doing won't stop God from doing what He would do...

If we won't Worship as we should, stones can be used to do so in our stead...

We should see these times as the opportunity to reveal the love of Christ to all...

It's time to remind ourselves that The Lord is our Shepherd, it's time to declare that He will meet all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. It's time to remember the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that though He was rich yet He became poor so that through His poverty we might become rich...

We should remind ourselves that the young lion do lack and suffer hunger but they that seek the Lord shall not lack anything good...

We should remember no to have anxiety about anything but remember that as we seek first the kingdom of God all the things we need shall be added unto us...

We should remember that the psalmist testified that he had been young and old, he never saw the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread...

We should remember that God opens His hands and satisfies the desires of all living...

We should be bold in declaration and in helping others to remember these things to inspire faith and not unbelief, doubt and fear at such a time as this...

And we shouldn't forget to pray for our nation and leaders...we should declare apolitically the will of God over this nation and the arrest of evil... If we would turn from evil and seek the Lord and pray... He will intervene in mercy and heal our land... The peace of this nation is our peace...

And so be an agent of God and the extension of His hand and grace in Christ today, this week and always...

Happy Sunday and Have a great week...
