(TEXT : Psalms 35:10)
All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
FOCUS :
We continue in this series today, and today, we will be concluding on this series. God knows everyone’s ability and He can see clearly the difference between the poor\needy and the rich people. However, God does not need your ability or capability, He only needs your AVAILABILITY to render “help to those who are in pain, suffering, afflicted, in need, and the poor. You don’t have to be a King, Queen, President, Pastor, Pop, Prophet, General Overseer, C.E.O, Bank Manager etc.. before you can be of help to the poor or the needy around you. If you will not help the poor and the needy, God will help them instead and His judgement over you will be brutal. Where you cannot reach in the journey of life and after life, do you know that your riches can take you there and even beyond? But if you failed to do the needful to the poor and the needy around you; great will be your fall.
Matthew 25:14-18 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
In addition, the journey of life to some people it is very short, while to some people they interpreted the journey of life as very long; but whether it is long or very short, one day death will knock at each of our doors to take us to the land of UNKNOWN where we have been prepared to give an account for all our deeds while we were here on earth. To your surprise and mine, we will see uncountable numbers of people that are poor and needy around us that we are privilege and have all the resources to render help to them while were still on earth but we failed to help them. In heaven, I certainly believe that there will be many surprises: but those who failed to treat the poor and needy right, theirs will be ridiculous thing to witness.
Proverbs 21:13
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
Proverbs 22:2
The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
Finally, of course, you have people in the government, politics, power, connection, influence etc.. while you are here on earth: but you will find none in heaven that will stand by you on the day of judgement. Because everybody will be facing his or her punishment when we shall all stand before the throne of judgement. You don’t have to be a millionaire before you can help the poor or the needy around you; just help them with the little God has blessed you with and God will be bliss with you. On my final note: there is a saying in Yoruba land that says: “you can only force a horse to the river, but you can’t force the horse to drink from the river.” Meaning, I can only advice you on how you should see the poor\needy and how you should treat them when you find one around you: however, I can’t force you to spend your money on the poor or the needy if you are not willing to. When you bless the poor and the needy, God Himself will increased your riches, but if you afflict the poor and the needy, God will judge you terribly.
Proverbs 19:17
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
Proverbs 21:13
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
