An incident happened 7 years ago when I was coming home from a meeting which was near my house. While I was coming home on my vehicle, I saw a person standing and crying. I stopped my vehicle and went to see what had happened. There was a fire accident in that place and this man’s small hut and all his belongings with the little cash he had saved, went up in smoke, it was all gone. He had nothing left for himself. He was so very disappointed and he was crying. Nearly 30-40 people saw this and no one came forward to help him.

I saw this situation and I immediately went to my house . I always keep some new clothes and blankets in my house to help others for emergency situations. I put all the new clothes and blankets I had and along with the fruit I had in my house at that moment in a bag, and I went to his hut, where the fire accident took place. I gave this bag to the victim of this accident and I also gave him 3000 rupees which I had in my pocket. He was in tears and he hugged me and thanked me many times. This simple random act of kindness changed his situation for the good.
The moment I started helping this person every one there in that place watching this scene realized that they too could do something for him as well. Many of them gave him clothes, blankets, dishes, and some gave him money. You know, after 3-4 days, local officials helped him build his house like it was before. Not only by providing the money and material, but also some people helped this victim by giving their time to help him rebuild his house quickly.

He has more clothes than before, more dishes than before, and a new house as well. I am very happy and thrilled by this experience that my small random act of kindness would change his situation. Friends, today I would like to encourage you all, no matter how small or big the random act of kindness is, it will make difference in the lives of those you are trying to help.

Never get tired of doing little things for others. Sometimes, those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts.

Many have hearts to help others and show their compassion but the problem is they are afraid that their small random act of kindness won’t change the situation of the victim or the person who is suffering. Friends, I want to encourage you all, no matter how little we help others, it will make a difference in their lives. I remember this quote from mother Teresa, “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”

Thank you for reading …

Comment your experience in random act of kindness

In life We have many friends who start out with in the world that share same love toward worldly things like partying and other stuff. But when we stop our old ways , such relationships end soon. This is because the friends that we are once very close don’t desire to walk in the way that we have been called to walk in .

So are they bad people? Did God has forgotten about them? My answer is NO. God wants very best for you. God loves all. He will make sure the people in your life that will cause you to turn away from HIM go away from you.

I many times asked Lord to take away anything in me that is not pleasing to him. I asked him to make me whole and heal anything and all of my brokenness. It is simple as it is difficult to let go of old habits, it is even more difficult to let go off our old relationships that we know we have outgrown.

I tried to reach back these old relationships and I want to somehow save my old friendships when it is fact that only one who can save anyone is Christ. Remember, When God is trying to use and develop you to next level, the best thing you can do is draw still more nearer and keep your focus on God. Donot reach back to the past to reconcile because the idea of closure can also be unhealthy if those results don’t pan out the way that we expect them to. Your value doesn’t decrease based on somebody’s inability to see your worth. Your worth is found in God, not the opinions of others .You donot needed to be validated by people in order to live your own life. Forgive the person for their mistakes against you, Pray to lord to Forgive you for any reasons you may have caused the person and move on with your undivided attention set on Jesus Christ.

They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. 1 John 2:19

It hurts to watch those we love struggle and decline to receive God’s hand in their life . it is painful to live in the recognition of God’s grace and watch others who suffer ignore that same grace that is afforded to them. As Christians we can plant seeds of faith, but only God can truly water those seeds and cause them to grow. In this way it is made plain that although we are to love our neighbors, we may not need to be in association with them. God has a plan for your life. He has worked out every angle and He knows where He wants to place you in the Kingdom. Trust that Christ even knows whom your friends should and should not be. He knows those who will cause you to stumble and those who will allow you to grow.

Allow God to prune and produce more fruit from your spirit. Don’t stay on relationships that have ended before . Instead of that be thankful for the time you had and the lessons you learned.

Sing this song : Let Jesus fix it for you, he knows just what to do, whenever you pray, let him have his way, let Jesus fix it for you

In this 2014, God still has a plan for you He is faithful, a provider, merciful and just. Don’t throw in the towel yet, don’t quit, it is not yet over. It may appear that all hope is gone and you have been left behind, everyone else is ahead and things seem not to work for you Hold your peace for it is not over yet, just don’t give yet. In life today, many want to quit due to the various problems, sickness, persecutions, hardships and trials facing them. It is important for you to know that God has not finished with you yet. God has blessings for you Only if you don’t quit you shall receive his promises towards you This message is for people with hopeless situations because of what your doctor said or because of what your circumstances is saying. Your situation that seems unabated and hopeless does not mean the end, neither does it mean that God is not at work over your life, It is only that you do not understand that heaven has commenced an action in your favour and God is at work in your life. I bring you good tidings and that is ‘God is at work in your life’. Even if the prince of Persia has withheld your answers, heaven has released an arch angel to free it for you, just wait for it.

The passage in Ezekiel 37 is a dialogue between God and Prophet Ezekiel regarding the dry bones. The scenario is in a cemetery and graveyard. It is a place of no return, a dead end, a valley of dry bones, no signs of life. It signifies a people whose dream and hope has died for long time, no future and there is no hope of rescue. What the Lord asked Ezekiel is what he is asking you about your situation today ‘Can the dry bones live?. When Ezekiel looked at the dry bones, he sees no life, no signs of movement, no solution, they are dead for long and cannot help themselves and nobody could help including Ezekiel. All he said was ‘Lord, you know’ Ezekiel is saying the reality of what is on ground, to him only God knows whether a hopeless situation is going to be turned around. Only God knows if you are going to be healed, God knows if you are going to be promoted, God knows if that broken home will be amended once again, delivered, set free from captivity and sickness. Is only God who knows the beginning from the end, he knows and you don’t know. God said in Jer 29:11 ” I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end”. The end is already determined by God so long as you put your trust on him. Have you faith in God? In I John 5:5, it says “ For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world, and this is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith”. As long as you depend on God even when the situation is hopeless, you can be sure he will see you through. Afterall, we are told what to do when the burden is too heavy for us in I Pet 5:7 “casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you”. Have you cast your burden that you know not what to do about on him, he knows what to do with it, he cares. He will turn your worst situation around. Just trust and wait on him.

There are many situations we face in our life today which is beyond human solutions. People cannot help you, I brought you the word of God today that it is not over yet because God did not and has not said so. Study the scenario in Ezekiel’s world, he saw a hopeless situation, he heard and received from God, that he must speak to the dry bones, that he must prophesy to the dry bones. Ezekiel went down to the cemetery and told the dead and dry bones what God’s word said, that it is not over yet. They are not to quit in their dead situation. He told the dead bones, I have heard from God, I have his word, God has not forgotten you yet, I know you’ve lost hope but God has not finish with you yet. Listen, this should be your watchword which says, “yea, though, I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me” Ps 23:4.  You can see that the word of God was the beginning of the process that brought back this hopeless situation of dead and dry bones back to life. It was a clear restoration and transformation of a worst situation. God’s word restores and transforms if you hold on to it and proclaims it. you’re hopeless situation can come back to life again if you declare and stand by God’s word. You may be in a situation that looks hopeless, it may look like the end is near and it’s time to give up, it may look as if you’ve lost, well, it doesn’t matter what it may look like, the final outcome will come when God says it’s over. Man may count you out, the enemy may tell you you’ve lost, the chance for victory may look impossible, but it’s not over until the Lord says it’s over. I am a witness of this transforming power of God’s word, He did not fail me.

Because faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God Rom 10:17. Believe God, hear his word and declare it. If you are going to be successful, if you are going to be healed, if you going to redeem what seems lost, prophesy, speak and declare the Word. When Ezekiel obeyed and declared the word of God, there was a noise in the middle of the valley, a rattling sound. It was strange; the dead bones just can’t be stopped anymore by death. They let loose, the dry bones have ears and senses, they responded. If only you can speak the word, dry bones have ears, money have ears, mountain have ears, fibroid, cancer, tumour, prostrate cancer, barrenness, poverty and so on all have ears. Just prophesy to your situation and see that they will respond as they all have ears. You just have to speak from the power that works in you and observe the supernatural transformation from above take place in your hopeless situation. According to Eph 3:20, God is “able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us”.

Your bad and hopeless situation may not have physical ear but they have spiritual ears. Have you instructed them? They are waiting for your declaration of God’s word. They response to orders and if you fail to give order, it will remain as it is. That power is in you and it is your spoken word of his, speak it and you will see a changed situation.

Your hopeless situation can’t be worst that below examples where they taught it was over but God taught otherwise. Joseph brothers sold him out and taught it was over but God didn’t say so, Naaman refused to go into river Jordan as he taught it was over but God didn’t say so, The widow of Zaraphet two sons were to be taken by someone her husband owed and she taught it was over but God didn’t say so, The shunamite woman had no son and was even contented and taught it was over but God didn’t say so, Sarah was very old and had passed the age of delivery and taught it was over but God didn’t say so, Peter the fisherman was washing his net as he did not catch any fish throughout the day and taught it was over but God didn’t say so, Jarius daughter was dead and he taught it was over but God didn’t say so, The man at the pool of Bethesda had no body to throw him into the water as an angel turns it and he taught it was over but God didn’t say so,  Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den and all taught it was over, Everyone thought it was over for Daniel when he was thrown into the lion’s den, but God didn’t say so, Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego were thrown into fire and Nebuchadnezzar thought it was over but God didn’t say so, Job’s wife told her husband to curse God and die as she taught it was over but God didn’t say so. It is never over yet until God says its over.

You may not know what the future holds but I know who holds the future. His word in Ps 30:5 says “Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning.” Is not over, don’t quit. There is hope. Keep trusting God. Keep travailing, Keep giving, keep rejoicing, keep fighting until the victory is won. People will fail you, friends will fail you, all will fail you but God never fails. Don’t care what it looks like. It is not over yet because only God, and God alone has the final say. Don’t Quit now, don’t quit yet, is not over. God is in control. Just believe and trust him. While not sing this song : God Never fails. God never fails. He abides in me gives me victory, for God never fails. Just keep the faith and never cease to pray. Just walk upright morning, noon day and night. He’ll be there, He’ll be there. There’s no need to worry for God never fails.
