FLOWING TO REMAIN FRESH

-
Giving and caring for the poor, needy, vulnerable and less privileged people is the perfect will of God (Matthew 25:35-40).

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." (God).

One of the things I discovered recently is the greedy nature of every natural human being. We want to have more but we don't want to let go of things already in our possession. We want to have new shoes and clothes but unwilling to let go of the old ones. We (unconsciously) live a life of "get all you can, can all you get, and sit on the can", forgetting that a can sealed for long will have its content rotted and stunk.

The will of God is that while He blesses us, we also bless others (Genesis 12:2). God's will is for us to be a channel for blessing others, not a storage of blessings for ourselves. Rivers of living water is expected to flow through us to our neighbours.

Do you know that water remains fresh as long as it flows from one place to another? And the same water stinks when constrained to a single location. The average adult human body is 50-65 percent water. When you flow to others (especially the poor) through giving, you remain fresh but when you refuse to flow and keep all for yourself, you will in no time stink.

"Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed." (Proverbs 11:24-25 NLT).

This week, Partner LG0002 flowed to the poor through us by giving quality clothes, shoes, bags, and other items.

Thanks for the "Love Gifts" given. The dry cleaners shop is the next stop before delivery to the "Love Receivers". We treat our "Love Receivers" as royalties because that is who they really are, their present circumstances notwithstanding.

At Beloved Trust, "you can trust us with your love."

COMFORTED TO COMFORT OTHERS

-

God is comforting you today so that you too can comfort others tomorrow with the comfort which you have received from God  (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). "All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others . When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us."  (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). To comfort means to relieve the stress or to ease the suffering of someone; to make strong; to assist or help. Anyone going through distress, suffering, weakness and in need of help needs to be comforted. And real comfort comes from God Himself though He often uses humans to comfort humans. "...In the world you will have tribulation..." (John 16:33). It is clearly stated by our Lord Jesus that as Christians we will face troubles in this world where we are pilgrims, hence the need for us to be comforted regularl

#ProverbToday - DECEPTIVE BEAUTY

Today, many are regretting their choice of beauty above all else. They have beautiful yet vexatious wives. Rich but ruthless husbands. They've allowed themselves to be fooled by outward attractions neglecting the real deal - the fear of the Lord. "Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised." (Proverbs 31:30 NLT) ACTION: Let the fear of the Lord be your number one checklist in selecting a partner (in any life endavour). Anyone who fears the Lord will deal with you as s/he deals with the Lord. Choose the fear of the Lord above physical attractions - money, fame, beauty, that depreciate with time.  God bless you. #ProverbToday by @JedidiahKazeem
