  2. and all our partners. This is Radio ACI today of

  3. the Harvest Shapul International Commercy. This is passa Daniel like Wow.

  4. And with me is my wife Dickness Felicia. We are

  5. glad to facilitating today's devotion. We pray that even as

  6. we look into the word of God, our minds will

  7. be opened and transformed to seek and to do the

  8. will of God. In Jesus mighty name. Amen, Amen, be love,

  9. and let's share a word of prayer. Father, we thank

  10. you and we give you praise for this morning. Even

  11. as we have come together to hear your word, to

  12. look into your word, we pray that our minds will

  13. be liberated in the name of Jesus. Help us to

  14. understand your word and to work in your ways now

  15. and forever. In Jesus' mighty name, we have prayed. Amen, Amen, beloved.

  16. Let's take our confession together from Joshua Chapter one. This aid,

  17. this book of the Law shall not depart out of

  18. my mouth, but I shall meditate in it day and night,

  19. that I may observe to do according to all that

  20. is written in it. For then I will make my

  21. way prosperous, and then I will have good success. Amen, God,

  22. rigely bless you beloved. Today's theme for consideration is lend

  23. a hand. Lend a hand, and our text, which is

  24. also the memory verse, is from Galicians chapter six. The

  25. best two are we reading from the translation for translators.

  26. It is.

  27. When there are ones who have problems, you should help

  28. each other. By doing that, you will complete what Christ requires.

  29. I take it again, Galicians, chapter six, the first two

  30. translation for translators. When there are ones who have problems,

  31. you should help each other. By doing that, you will

  32. complete what Christ requires. Belaved. Here ends the reading of

  33. the Word of the Lord. Turns be to God.

  34. Learned a hand, dear one, Imagine going to the market

  35. or supermarket and buying quite a lot of items. Whilst

  36. walking home, carrying all these items all by yourself, and

  37. sweating under the weight of it. From nowhere, a good

  38. Samaritan approaches to help you carry them. How would you feel.

  39. I can't imagine. It will be nothing by relief and joy.

  40. Particularly in our world today, a lot of people are

  41. carrying heavy burdens, and a good Samaritan approaching to help

  42. them will be like a glass of cold water on

  43. a sunny afternoon. People are facing troubled times with their finances, marriages,

  44. raising of children, job precious on met expectations, driving them

  45. to nuts, wars, and many more. Many people are crying

  46. for help from God Lord and in desperation from any

  47. other source they may feel relief can come from. They

  48. need at least someone to come alongside with them, to

  49. bear their burdens with them and to lighten the weight

  50. of the burden so they can continue with life. In

  51. Firs the Slonians, Chapter five is fourteen, the apostle Paul

  52. was inspired to edge the church in Theassalonica to comfort

  53. their discourage, help the weak, be patient towards all beloved.

  54. Will you be that good Samaritan God can count on

  55. at least to help others and especially fellowsns to cope

  56. with the hardships of the time. All God requires of

  57. you is to say some words of encouragement to someone

  58. who feels like giving up, To hold someone else's hand

  59. and share a word of prayer so that they are strengthened.

  60. To provide a physcal service in one way or the other.

  61. To give some godly counsel to someone to know the

  62. way to go to give out some of the money

  63. God has blessed you with so someone can at least

  64. afford a meal or meet a certain dy need. In Ephicients,

  65. chapter four, verse twenty eight, we are admonished as Christians

  66. to work hard with our hands so that we may

  67. have something to share with the ones who has needed. Beloved,

  68. there are a thousand and one little things we can

  69. do to lessen the burdens people are carrying, or strengthen

  70. them so they do not give up on life, but

  71. strive to the end. As you go through life day

  72. by day, ask the Holy Spirit to open your heart

  73. and eyes to the needs of people. Ask him to

  74. give you insight as to what to do with each situation.

  75. He opens your heart and eyes so that through you

  76. relieve and encouragement will come to others. Beloved, you may

  77. be equally carrying a burden and wondering why you should

  78. help someone else to bear histe or his But as

  79. the Lord Jesus said, it is more blessed to give

  80. than to receive asks Chapter twenty, verse thirty five, So

  81. you need not wait to get every where one of

  82. your issues resolved before helping others. The principle of sowing

  83. and reaping is worth many repraises. As it is written

  84. in Proverbs chapter eleven, verse twenty five, a generous person

  85. will be enriched, and the one who provides water for

  86. others will himself be satisfied. Dear one, as you help others,

  87. God will also send other people to help you. It

  88. is in helping others that sometimes we get our burdens

  89. rolled away. We all may have one trouble or the other,

  90. but we cannot use that as an excuse not extend

  91. a helping hand to another. Particularly even in our troubles.

  92. We can't make much more impact and mean in sharing

  93. our own experiences and how we are coping. Precious One,

  94. God created us for each other's benefit. There's a common

  95. good for which you were fashioned. So do not turn

  96. a blind eye to the sufferings of others, or a

  97. death fear to their cry for help. Do not compound

  98. their troubles for them either. Rather learn the helping hand

  99. in the way you can. For the Bible says in

  100. bearing one another's burden we fulfill the law of Christ,

  101. that is the law of love. For us. The Lord

  102. has said in John chapter thirteen, Versus thirty four and

  103. thirty five. I give you a new commandment to love

  104. one another. Just as I have loved you. You are

  105. also to love one another. Everyone will know by this

  106. that you are my disciples.

  107. If you have.

  108. Love for one another, dear one, go out there and

  109. learn a helping hand to the one who needs it. Amen. Please,

  110. let's take our memory verse from Galicians chapter six, verse two,

  111. from the translation for translators. When there are ones who

  112. have problems, you should help each other. By doing that,

  113. you will complete what Christ requires. When there are ones

  114. who have problems, you should help each other. By doing that,

  115. you will complete what Christ requires. Please, let's share a

  116. way of prayer. We thank you Father for reminding us

  117. of your command to us to lend a hand to

  118. those who are hard pressed and carrying heavy burdens. It

  119. is a prayer God that as we journey through day

  120. by day, you open our hearts and our eyes to

  121. see the burdens, and you give us wisdom and the

  122. resource to be able to lend a hand and help.

  123. We thank you, We bless you in Jesus' name. Amen.

  124. Amen, pressure is one I believe you have learned a

  125. lot today and It's worth noting that no one is

  126. an island one way or the other. Everyone needs someone

  127. else at one time or another. There is a common

  128. good for which you were fashioned, So do not turn

  129. a blind eye to the sufferings of others or a death.

  130. Ear to their cry for help. I believe even as

  131. you yield helping others, God will also send others to

  132. help you. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen and Amen, Beloved God,

  133. richly bless you for joining us today, so we come

  134. your way again, same time tomorrow. Please keep your focus

  135. right here on Radio ACI today so you can maintain

  136. a spirit feeld day. We also wish you can recommend

  137. this to your friends and families so they can also

  138. be spiritually nourished. Please have a blessed day.
