Dear Saints
On a week like this, I would like to say that goodwill and compassion is what the life of a Believer should be characterized by. As we celebrate the Nelson Mandela day in commemoration of his birthday.
I would like to draw your attention and remind you saints that the Bible speaks about Dorcas in Acts 9: 39 (NKJV)“Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas has made while she was with them.” Dorcas did good deeds and the Bible records that because of that she experienced a miracle of being brought back to life because of the intercessions of the beneficiaries of her almsgiving.

We also see Cornelius in Acts 10: 1 – 48 where he experienced God’s saving grace unto him and his household because of his alms or giving to the poor. His giving and caring heart moved God so deeply to a point of blessing him and his household.
The acts of caring for the poor should not be a Mandela Day event only when it comes to us as God’s children, but we have to live it as a lifestyle. Our attitude should be such that we give without expecting anything in return. We should give our time, talents and resources for the benefit of those that are in need as we even preach the Gospel of Christ to them. By doing so, we are making Christ to be practical to them and the Holy Spirit will convict them in the process and they will be won to Christ. So let us go out there and make an impact for the Kingdom. Let us be the agents of change. Let us allow ourselves to be used to demonstrate the love of the FATHER.

As kingdom AMBASSADORS, let us seize the moment to represent the caring and the compassionate heart of God by serving the people around us.
Yours in his service
