Why is it important to help and serve others?
Helping others is fun, fulfilling, and you get to make a big impact in the lives of others.
When you stop to help, you literally shift the negative atmosphere around the person from despair to hope.
Your kindness changes their environment into positive energy which joy, energy, and gives them courage and strength to live.
As your love and random acts of kindness releases heaven into the earth, you, together with God make our world a better place to live in.
Wherever you go, you carry an atmosphere of hope and joy which keeps attracting more blessings, not only for the other person but for you too!
Enter… the Snowball Effect.
- Your small acts of kindness, together with God’s power, slowly but surely start to impact and influence everyone around you.
- They in turn start to help others.
- Before long, your sphere of positive influence gets bigger and bigger.
As your supernatural encounters increase, every day becomes a “You can’t believe what amazing thing happened today!”
How does helping others release supernatural encounters?
When we partner with God, His dunamis (dynamite) power is released in our lives.
Not only that, but God also gives us everything we need to do the job as it is written in 2 Peter1:3…
“By God’s divine (dunamis) power, He has given us everything we need for living a godly life.”
What does Jesus say about helping others?
Jesus gives us a few tips in Matthew 25:35-40 on what happens when we serve and love others:
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world.
- 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me.
- I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink.
- I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.
- 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing.
- I was sick, and you cared for me.
- I was in prison, and you visited me.’
37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?
39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,a] you were doing it to me!’
So not only do you inherit the Kingdom of God but when you help others, are kind to them, and love them, you are actually helping, being kind, and loving Jesus.
This is where the supernatural power and encounters are experienced!
Is it easy helping others?
It’s so exciting when you see and treat all people like they are Jesus. Miracles start to happen.
Is it tough in the beginning? Yes.
Is it easy? No. Not for everyone.
Can you do it in your own strength continuously without burning out? No.
But the more you do it with the power of God helping you, the easier it becomes.
God loves to partner with you to make our world a better place.
He gets so excited when he sees your acts of kindness. He releases more favor, strength, and power to enable you to help and serve others.
And best of all, He shows and gives us fresh ideas about how we can make a difference in each other’s lives and His resources are endless!
Here are a few easy and practical ways to help others.
You don’t have to be wealthy, talented, or very successful to do any of these acts to make a difference to someone’s world.
- “For I was hungry, and you fed me”
- Surprise your neighbor, a petrol attendant, or a person who’s just been retrenched with a meal or a few bags of groceries.
- “I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink.”
- There are loads of folk wearing masks who are struggling to breathe.
- Grab a bottle of water, encourage them to take a seat, and have a sip of water.
- “I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. “
- Loneliness is all around us. Forced isolation does not help.
- Until lockdown is over and you can invite folk to share a cuppa or a meal, greet a stranger, start a conversation in your queue, and share a little laugh.
- “I was naked, and you gave me clothing.”
- It’s not just the poor that need help. Retrenchments, foreclosures, and business losses are all around us.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to show you, how you can help those who have just lost their work, cars, or homes.
- I was sick, and you cared for me.
- From sadness to terminal illness, everyone needs healing.
- Listen to their story. You will soon discover where the needs are, which areas you can help with, or what you can pray for.
- “I was in prison, and you visited me.”
- Unforgiveness is a killer and we place ourselves and others in a prison by not forgiving each other.
- Be slow to take offense, quick to forgive, and patient with those who are struggling to do so.
