Encourage & Forgive
‘And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the Lord’ 2 Chro.35:2 [KJV]
This season you can show God’s love by giving a word of encouragement to the discouraged. Everybody can do with a word of encouragement. You will be shocked at the impact a word of encouragement can have even on a man of God. We were created for encouragement. A couple while visiting us shared how they became members of the church I pastor. They actually did not know where to worship on a Sunday morning and somehow stopped at God’s Favourite House. At that worship experience, God gave two specific Read the rest of this entry
Just A Smile
‘Good-tempered leaders invigorate lives; they’re like spring rain and sunshine’ Prov.16:15 [MSG]
Another invaluable thing we can give this season is a smile. You can give a smile to your neighbor. Try it out and see how much warmth it brings to your relationship.

Lend Your Arms
‘And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them…’ Acts 20:1 [KJV]
Another way to give this season without spending any money is to give a hug to the lonely. For some people the hug they receive from you this season is the only hug they have received this month and for some it is the only hug they have received this year. What will it cost you to give someone a hug – absolutely nothing? God is counting on you to lend your arms and bring His warmth to the lonely heart this season. ‘And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you Read the rest of this entry
Lend Your Heart
‘We know what love is because Jesus gave his life for us. That’s why we must give our lives for each other’ 1 John 3:16 [CEV].
As we approach the Christmas season, it important for us to remember that our very lives are gifts to be poured out to others. And when God says give, He is not only referring to material possessions. While that is able to change the season for some people, yet there are things that God wants us to give that do not include material things. God wants us to give the people around us a part of us. God in His word admonishes us to give of that which we have also freely received. Like we said, we are going to highlight two of the seven things Read the rest of this entry
