VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. Don't be weary in doing good

"And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint"

We will reap a harvest at the proper time if we don't give up. The world is only limited in their resources that's why they can only choose one whom to give to , and they only give to people who can return the favor, but we are not limited because our FATHER in Heaven is wealthier and richer than anyone else here on earth, that's why we can both give and bless the rich and the poor, those people who will not think of returning it to us, in other words, we sow things in their lives, or even we sow money into them, because we know our harvest of righteousness came from GOD already.

Daniel 12:3 (Amplified Bible)

And the teachers and those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness (to uprightness and right standing with God) [shall give forth light] like the stars forever and ever.

Matthew 25:23 (Amplified Bible)

His master said to him, Well done, you upright (honorable, admirable) and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much. Enter into and share the joy (the delight, the blessedness) which your master enjoys.

Luke 6:35 (Amplified Bible)

But love your enemies and be kind and do good [doing favors so that someone derives benefit from them] and lend, expecting and hoping for nothing in return but considering nothing as lost and despairing of no one; and then your recompense (your reward) will be great (rich, strong, intense, and abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind and charitable and good to the ungrateful and the selfish and wicked.

Romans 2:10 (Amplified Bible)

But glory and honor and [heart] peace shall be awarded to everyone who [habitually] does good, the Jew first and also the Greek (Gentile).

Ephesians 6:8 (Amplified Bible)

Knowing that for whatever good anyone does, he will receive his reward from the Lord, whether he is slave or free.

Luke 14:12-13 (Amplified Bible)

Jesus also said to the man who had invited Him, When you give a dinner or a supper, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, lest perhaps they also invite you in return, and so you are paid back.

But when you give a banquet or a reception, invite the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind.

B. Consider doing good as an opportunity

"So then, as occasion and opportunity open up to us, let us do good [morally] to all people [not only being useful or profitable to them, but also doing what is for their spiritual good and advantage]."

Make the most of every opportunity. And an evil man, will make opportunity for himself to be rich. If GOD is our Provider, then act like one. Stop providing for yourself and your family and start believing in the Blessor who gives away blessings for you and your family.

Deuteronomy 28:12 (Amplified Bible)

The Lord shall open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
