Here to Help

Ephesians 5 (N If you don't do what you say others should do, you are a hypocrite and are unworthy of God's favor.

  

Ephesians 3:20  (NKJV)

20 Now to Him who is able (& willing) to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

If you don't follow God's direction, don't expect His help.  

Following God's direction is how God help us. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NKJV)

16 Rejoice always, 

17 pray without ceasing, 

18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.  

19 Do not quench the Spirit. 

20 Do not despise prophecies.

Quench not God's Spirit. 

Despise not God's Spirit.  

If you have despised direction from the Lord, you have disqualified yourself from having His help.  

2 Corinthians 8:9 (NKJV)

9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that... 

though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

The more in poverty you are the less you can help others.  

The more you have the more that you can help others.    

It's great to do something for somebody, but God wants them to look to Him as their source. 

God does not want us to be poor.  He wants to open a channel of blessings through us to help others. 

Isaiah 61:1  (NKJV)

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,

Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives,

And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

   

Good news to the poor is that they don't have to live in poverty.  

To the sick, that they can be well.  

To the enslaved, that they can be free.

1 Samuel 2:30 (NKJV)

... for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.

If people will honor God, He will bring them into a place of honor.

  

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV)

21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
