Five words that can CHANGE THE WORLD FOR CHRIST: Each One Can Reach One!

GCLEF entertainment EACH ONE CAN REACH ONE originally by Babbie Mason this version by Faith Music Missions

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly, or under compulsion, for GOD loves a CHEERFUL GIVER.

DID YOU KNOW?

There are 100 Bible Verses about SHARING WITH OTHERS! WOW! Here are just a few to remind you of the POWER OF SHARING.

You are a LABORER for CHRIST. To be “steadfast and unmovable” means that we must stand strong in our faith and in our commitment to our work for the Lord. … Every time we give God glory for His grace and for His mercy.

Therefore, Your LABOR for CHRIST starts in your THOUGHTS. Good thoughts (spiritual) = GOOD ACTIONS. Bad thoughts (carnal) = BAD ACTIONS. They work in harmony with each other.

Equally important, what we SEE takes on a LIFE OF ITS OWN. What we SEE turns into a THOUGHT which turns into an ACTION. But, what takes place between the THOUGHT and the ACTION? It is governed by the EMOTION we feel > compassion / fear / caring / hate etc. EMOTIONS take us on a roller coaster ride that can either BLESS or CURSE US.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly, or under compulsion, for GOD loves a CHEERFUL GIVER.

This scripture speaks volumes. GIVE means to FREELY transfer the possession of something to someone. The SOMETHING, as presented in this video is food, returning forgotten items, helping others, blessing others who are lonely.

DEMONSTRATION OF EACH ONE CAN REACH ONE …

For example, you can see OPPORTUNITIES everywhere to REACH ONE. When ONE reaches ONE, another reaches ANOTHER and the ball starts rolling …

The Construction Worker assists the youth when he falls off his skateboard
The Youth assists an elderly lady with crossing the street with her groceries
The Elderly lady assists the women with a coin for the meter
The Women returns the man’s dropped wallet
The Man assists another man with carrying his VENDOR suitcase to the sidewalk
The Vendor assists the HUNGRY MAN with food
The Food Vendor offers WATER to the vendor to give to the HUNGRY man
The Hungry man returns the forgotten cell phone to the young girl
The Young girl sees a LONELY lady at the restaurant and buys her flowers
The Flower Vendor gave the young girl a flower in appreciation
The Women who received the FLOWERS left behand a TIP for the waitress
The Waitress sees a thirsty construction worker and gave him WATER.

The results > WOW… EACH ONE CAN REACH ONE. If you were on the street seeing these acts of KINDNESS, what would you do? WOULD YOU continue the flow of KINDNESS or just ignore it?

JESUS ON THE LOOKOUT

Jesus was always on the LOOKOUT for people in need. He knew their heart and knew what they needed. His example is what we need to follow. We need to be on the LOOKOUT for people in need all around us.

HEBREWS 13:16 Do not neglect to do GOOD and SHARE what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

LUKE 6:18 Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure, you use it will be measured back to you.

PROVERBS 19:17 Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.

SPOT PEOPLE IN NEED

In fact, in the world today, it is easy to SPOT people in need. JUST LOOK AROUND YOU. As this video displayed – the ACTS OF KINDNESS were small in the WORLD’s view, but with JESUS, they were HUGE! Each ACT OF KINDNESS meant a BLESSING to the receiver.

1 JOHN 3:17 But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s LOVE abide in him?

PROVERBS 11:24-25 One gives freely yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessings will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.

DO YOU DO YOUR ACTS OF KINDNESS TO BE SEEN BY MAN OR GOD?

God looks at your ACTS of KINDESS from your HEART. IF you do ACTS of KINDNESS to be seen by man, then your HEART is selfish. In this video, 12 people did ACTS of KINDNESS from their HEART. They had no ulterior motive to gain anything > they did it because they saw a need. An ulterior motive is one that lies beyond the apparent motive

2 CORINTHIANS 9:7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly, or under compulsion, for GOD loves a CHEERFUL GIVER.

MATTHEW 5:6 In the same way, let your LIGHT SHINE before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

ACTS OF KINDNESS

As a matter of fact > ACTS OF KINDNESS are available to everyone, everywhere at any time. They are all around us. All we need to do is OPEN OUR EYES to HELP ANOTHER. For, when we do not grow weary of doing good, it will return to US when we need it.

GALATIANS 6:9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

1 TIMOTHY 6:18 They are to do GOOD, to be rich in good works, to BE GENEROUS and ready to share

PROVERBS 11:17 A man who is KIND benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself.

PHILLIPPIANS 2:4 Let each of you look not only to his own interest but also to the interest of others

JESUS WANTS US TO BE GIVERS TO ALL

Jesus also has some thoughts on ACTS OF KINDNESS to our enemies.

ROMANS 12:20 To the contrary, ‘If your enemy is hungry, FEED him, if he is thirsty, give him something to drink, for by so doing you will reap burning coals, on his head.

LUKE 6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is KIND to the ungrateful and evil.

We are to do ACTS OF KINDNESS to everyone: strangers, family, friends, co-workers, and even our ENEMIES.

PROVERBS 11:25 Whoever brings blessings will be enriched, and one who waters will be watered.
