Poor People: Carry Blessings
Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
Matthew 25:34-36 (NKJV)
Contradicting both comfort and logic, Abram made a big and bold decision: He would go where the unseen God sent Him.
Since he didn’t know where he was going, he took what he could and left home behind. During his journey’s meager beginning, the Lord made several BIG promises. Among His vows to Abraham are these:
'I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great... And I will bless those who bless you' (Genesis 12:2-3).
And so God did! 2000 years later…
Contradicting both comfort and logic, Jesus made a big and bold decision: He would come to Earth as a simple Man.
Laying aside His crown and position, He took nothing at all and left Heaven. But in His humble, human existence, God fulfilled His most wonderful promise: our Savior came and opened Heaven’s Gates. Our entry essentials rest of these words:
'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me' (Matthew 25:40).
Actors, models, and talent for Christ, please note:
By leaving his place of security, Abraham made himself a homeless man.
By leaving His throne and untold treasures, Heaven's Prince made Himself a poor Person.
Undoubtedly, God watches everything… and observes our conduct toward the poor. How we treat them equals how we treat Him– and if we bless the poor, God will bless us!
Poor People: Carry Blessings (Part 12)
NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
