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.
Ephesians 5:15-16 (Amplified Bible)
Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people),
Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.
Colossians 4:5-6 (Amplified Bible)
Behave yourselves wisely [living prudently and with discretion] in your relations with those of the outside world (the non-Christians), making the very most of the time and seizing (buying up) the opportunity.
Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned [as it were] with salt, [so that you may never be at a loss] to know how you ought to answer anyone [who puts a question to you].
C. Do good especially to the family of believers
"Be mindful to be a blessing, especially to those of the household of faith [those who belong to God’s family with you, the believers]"
John 13:14 (Amplified Bible)
If I then, your Lord and Teacher (Master), have washed your feet, you ought [it is your duty, you are under obligation, you owe it] to wash one another’s feet.
Mark 10:43-44 (Amplified Bible)
But this is not to be so among you; instead, whoever desires to be great among you must be your servant,
And whoever wishes to be most important and first in rank among you must be slave of all.
Luke 10:36-37 (Amplified Bible)
Which of these three do you think proved himself a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?
He answered, The one who showed pity and mercy to him. And Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise.
Ephesians 2:19 (Amplified Bible)
Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God’s own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God’s [own] household.
We are channel of blessings, we are not the storehouse. The storehouse is the LORD JESUS CHRIST body and bride here on earth, that's the church, where we gather, that's the storehouse, to be specific.
Malachi 3:10 (Amplified Bible)
Bring all the tithes (the whole tenth of your income) into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and prove Me now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Our income are meant to meet the needs of the storehouse, and the LORD's responsibility to open up the windows of heaven to pour out blessings upon blessings for all of us, us and our family.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Blood is thicker than water. As they say, family is different, now we have a different family, a spiritual one. Our family is a wonderful family because we carry a wonderful Name.
1 Peter 4:16 (The Living Bible)
But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being in Christ’s family and being called by his wonderful name!
