HELPING THOSE IN NEED

Proverbs 21:13
If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered.

WHEN WE INTENTIONALLY SHUT OUR EARS TO THE CRY OF THE POOR FOR HELP, GOD WILL NOT ANSWER OUR PRAYERS.

IF WE NEGLECT TO HELP THE POOR AND THE NEEDY WHO CRY FOR HELP TO US, THERE WILL COME A TIME THAT WE WILL NEED HELP, BUT NO ONE WILL HELP US.

James 2:13
because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!

IF ANY MAN IS UNMERCIFUL TO OTHERS, GOD WILL NOT BE MERCIFUL TO THAT PERSON.

JUDGMENT WITHOUT MERCY WILL COME TO PEOPLE WITHOUT MERCY.

GOD WILL ONLY BE MERCIFUL TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE MERCIFUL TO OTHERS.

1 John 3:17
If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?

THERE IS NO LOVE OF GOD IN PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO PITY FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED.

1 John 3:10
This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

THE PEOPLE WHO BELONG TO GOD ARE PEOPLE WHO DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND LOVE HIS BROTHER.

1 John 3:7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.

TO BE RIGHTEOUS MEANS DOING WHAT IS RIGHT.

1 John 3:18
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

LOVE WITH ACTIONS.
LOVE IN TRUTH/ SINCERITY.

Romans 12:9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

TO LOVE IN TRUTH MEANS TO HATE WHAT IS EVIL, AND CLING TO WHAT IS GOOD.

THEREFORE, IF A PERSON HAS NO MERCY TO THE POOR, IS AN EVIL PERSON.
THAT PERSON HAS NO PITY ON THE POOR.
THEREFORE, THAT PERSON HAS NO LOVE OF GOD IN THEM.

WITHOUT GOD'S LOVE, A PERSON IS NOT OF GOD.
HAVING NO PITY FOR THE POOR MEANS THAT PERSON HAS NO MERCY TO THE POOR.

WITHOUT MERCY, A PERSON IS NOT A RECIPIENT OF GOD'S MERCY- FOR THOSE WHO HAVE MERCY ARE THE ONLY ONE'S WHO HAVE OBTAINED MERCY FROM GOD.

THEREFORE, THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO MERCY OR PITY TO THE POOR CANNOT BE CALLED GOD'S PEOPLE NOR GOD'S CHILDREN....

WHY? THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF LOVING OTHERS....

IF GOD IS LOVE, AND IF YOU HAVE NO LOVE FOR THE LEAST OF OUR BRETHREN, GOD'S LOVE DOES NOT EXIST IN YOU... THEREFORE, YOU ARE NOT A CHILD OF GOD....

BUT IF YOU ARE MERCIFUL TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY, YOU HAVE MERCY IN YOUR HEART- AND YOU ARE A RECIPIENT OF GOD'S MERCY...

THEREFORE, IF MERCY AND COMPASSION DWELL IN YOUR HEART, GOD'S LOVE DWELLS IN YOUR HEART- THEREFORE, GOD DWELLS IN YOUR HEART- FOR GOD IS LOVE....

THEREFORE, THOSE WHO ARE INCAPABLE OF LOVING THE LEAST OF OUR BRETHREN HAS NO GOD IN THEIR HEARTS.

BUT THOSE WHO LOVE THE LEAST OF THEIR BRETHREN CAN LOVE HIS OTHER BRETHREN AND HAS THE CAPACITY TO LOVE GOD....

THIS IS A REFLECTION DONE THIS EVENING...

MAY IT BE OF HELP TO US...

GOD BLESS....
