- Helping others quickens recovery of losses.1 Samuel 30:11-18.
- Carrying each other burden brings fulfilment of divine order. Galatians 6:2.
- Doing good and sharing with the needy brings pleasure to God. Hebrews 13:16.
- Helping others creates an avenue for one to get his/her vision/gifts recognised and valued. Genesis 41:12-14
- Helping others bring glory to God Almighty and winning of souls. Matthew 8:27, Mark 4:37-41
- Helping others secures and preserves lives from being destroyed. Luke 7:11-13, Esther 2:21-23
- Helping others can usher one to change of status, beautiful level. Esther 6:3-10.
LESSON OUTLINE TWO
DANGERS OF NOT HELPING OTHERS
- Loss of ordained promotion, 2 Chronicles 12:22-23
- Divine dispossession of previous gains, Genesis 19:32. Lot refused to win Sodom but won the hearts of his daughters
- Overtaken by hatred and evil, 1 Samuel 16:14-15. King Saul kept on hating David that would have sustained his lineage.
- Denial of one’s children from getting helping hands.
- It is disobedience to divine order
- Living in failure and emptiness
- Loss of access to future assets, Genesis 8:22.
ASSIGNMENT: Help someone this week.
SUMMARY: Helping others is divinely programmed to give orders to humanity.
CONCLUSION: Golden rule is showing kindness to others, a lot of people are suffering, pleading to God for divine intervention but many assigned to help are withholding their assistance knowing that there is time for everything, any help you render today awaits future harvest.
