TOUCH SOMEONE FOR JESUS CHRIST!
When we visit, provide for people in need and lay hands on and pray for the sick and afflicted, it means a lot to Jesus Christ and also to such precious people. We could pray for them from thousands of miles, (and we should pray for people no matter the distance) just as Jesus could have prayed for the salvation of humanity from the safety and comfort of Heaven, and God would have answered His prayers and God answers our prayers from a distance. But Jesus Christ came down to earth sacrificially and compassionately and the touched us physically by His physical presence, meeting our physical, spiritual and all other pressing needs.
That's REAL LOVE!
God wants us to reach out, love, accommodate or receive and then minister to people physically with the same love, compassion and sacrifice. Not because we're compelled, in competition or in our conceit! But because our minds and Christ's are one, the mind of Christ. Our voices and God's Word to people, and our hands laid on sick, afflicted and oppressed people are Jesus' hands, and also our presence or provision, is His presence and provision. When we reach out and minister to someone in need in His name, we're reaching out to Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ and through Him. We're meeting His needs on earth! Hallelujah!
Matthew 25:37-40.
Then the just and upright will answer Him, Lord, when did we see You hungry and gave You food, or thirsty and gave You something to drink? And when did we see You a stranger and welcomed and entertained You, or naked and clothed You? And when did we see You sick or in prison and came to visit You?
And the King will reply to them, Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least [in the estimation of men] of these My brethren, you did it for Me.
A proud Christian who would not enjoy serving others selflessly, would struggle and fail in marriage, the marketplace and ministry. Because selfless service is the physical expression of the love of God that sets faith ablaze to produce amazing miracles.
Have compassion for people in need. Humble yourself, and care for and serve people as Christ served and not just your family. Support the work of God and the ministers of the gospel without being asked. That's the greatest eternal investment you will ever make here on earth.
You're far more than just a human being on earth waiting to die some day. You're a child of the most High God. A citizen and an ambassador of Heaven on earth, mandated, anointed and commissioned to bring down God's Kingdom to earth. You have Heaven's total support and backing to overcome this world for Jesus Christ by your faith in God and His Word. Don't bury your gifts and purpose, be bold, put them to work. The greatest and ultimate, eternal investment. There's no better decision than that. Hallelujah!
