TOPIC: BE KIND AND GIVE.

TEXT: PROVERBS 11:16-31

KEY VERSE: "A wicked person earns deceptive wages, but the one who sows righteousness reap a sure reward," Vs 18.

SUMMARY

A kindhearted woman gains honour and benefits herself, but a beautiful woman with no discretion is like a pig with a gold ring in its nose. The kind man sows kindness and reap a sure reward, life, but the ruthless cruel man brings ruin on himself. The wicked pursue unrighteousnes and finds death, the Lord detest the unkind, but delights in the righteous with kind heart, Luke 10:30-37.

True Christianity is one which gives freely to win souls to the kingdom of God just like God did gave His one and only Son as the atoning sacrificial Lamb for our sin. We must freely give the Word of God, the love of God and any material for the gospel. As the wise refreshes others, God also refreshes them, their fruit is a tree of life.

APPLICATION

For all God has done for me in Christ, it is my responsibility to give freely in return to Him by freely giving His word, His Iove and other materials that may be required of me to give from time to time for the salvation work of God in my own generation for this is true Christianity.

PRAYER: Lord, you reward each according to what he sows, let me be kind and give like my Lord and bear fruit of life.
