EXTRA MILE-3

Text :   Genesis 24:19. 

When she had finished giving him a drink, she also said, “I’ll also draw water for your camels until they’ve had enough to drink.”

The story was told of a 24 year old Isreali climber, Nadav Ben-Yehuda. He was
300 meters from the summit of Everest when he gave up his dream of conquering the planet's highest peak in order to save an injured Turkish climber. 

At a point, Ben-Yehuda had to choose between being the youngest Isreali to climb Everest, which will be great for his career or to try to take a climber who was at the point of death off the mountain. He chose the second option and became a 21st century example of what humanity should look like. 

People commented and are still commenting on his heroic acts. Generally, people are of the opinion that his action of helping to save another person's life is more laudable than his ambition of a great climber.

Ben-Yehuda went an extra-mile in showing kindness to a fellow man, and this is what God is expecting from you.

God wants you to be your brother's keeper. He positioned people around you so you will be of help to them in your own capacity. 

You need to ask yourself, "have I gone extra-mile for anyone in recent times?" When was the last time you showed act of kindness to someone?

You are an answer to someone's prayers, the same way God will make someone to be an answer to yours. How are you faring in this?* 

Bible Reading :Genesis 24:10-28.

PRAYER FOCUS
1.) Father God, I receive the grace to go the extra-mile not only for myself but also for others.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
