Memory Verse:
“Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you,
inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to
Me’” (Matthew 25:45).
Kindness can be defined as being good to others. It is also a godly virtue and the Bible enjoins us to be kind. Kindness is like a seed that is sown over time, it will germinate and grow to fruition for harvest. As the kindness or good that you do speaks for you, so also the kindness or the good that you fail to show or do shall speak against you. It is, therefore, essential that you seek to do good, for God sees all the things that you do. In Matthew 25, it is clearly evident that Christ will not accept any excuse from you when you fail to do good. Those on the left-hand side answered Jesus,
showing their displeasure at the judgement He passed on them. Why? Because they told Jesus that they never saw Him in the picture He painted for them. He, however, told them that since they failed to do it to any of those around them in such conditions, they did not do it to Him.
How do you treat people that you come across: your in-laws, house-helps, subordinates in the office, neighbours, and the less privileged around you? Do you go out of your way to be good to people, especially those that are not as strong as you are spiritually, financially, materially, etc.? What act of kindness have you shown recently? You can make a change today. Determine to be a
blessing to all men.
Prayer Points:
1. Thank You, Lord, for all Your blessings upon my life, family and ministry.
2. Dear Lord, may my good deeds speak favourably for me always.
