DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES FRIDAY 09 APRIL 2021.
Topic: Help Others Win.
Today’s Scripture: “… he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him… But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him…”. Acts of Apostle chapter 9 verses 26 and 27, (NIV). NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION.
Message: In scripture, the Apostle Paul would have never had the impact, the good works he did in the ministry, without a man named Barnabas. Barnabas was one of the disciples. He was in Jesus’ inner circle. But Paul, at the time, hated believers and was having them thrown in jail. God touched his life, and he wanted to go to Jerusalem and join the other disciples, but they were afraid of him because of his reputation. Barnabas stood up for Paul and used his influence to open a door with the other disciples. Paul went on to write over half of the New Testament.
We don’t hear a lot about Barnabas. Paul greatly overshadowed him. But if you were to ask Paul, he would say, “I won because Barnabas helped me win. I succeeded because Barnabas took a risk and opened a door that I could not open on my own. Barnabas believed in me when nobody else did.”
Friend, brother and sister, there is no greater legacy than to help someone else win. Today, look for ways to use your influence. Help others rise up higher. Sow good seeds because they will come back to you. When you help others win, God will make sure you are surrounded by people who will help you win in return.
Prayer forToday: “Father, thank You for Your truth which sets me free. It is my delight to do Your will and help others succeed. Show me ways to be a blessing and help others. Let everything I do bring glory to You in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Prophetic Declaration: Help others to win and God will send helpers on your way. Some people bite fingers that fed them. It could be very painful if you’re a victim of that circumstance. I have been there. I helped some people to rise up higher but they paid back with wickedness. That couldn’t stop me from sowing good seeds to other people’s life. We must make ourselves available at all costs, whenever opportunities come to help others. You shall receive the grace to be an instrument of honour in the hands of God, to render help and assist others in times of need. In doing so, you also shall receive destiny helpers in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
