BE THE THIRD PERSON




When I had a dire need, I received different reactions from several people and I shall categorize these reactions into first person, second person and third person.
First person: God will see you through
Second person: oh I wish I can help, don’t worry it would soon be over.
Third person: since when have you been in this need? why didn’t you tell me earlier, though I don’t have now, but I can still borrow and send to you.
If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? James 2:15-16
When someone is is need, make every effort to fulfill that need and stop prophesying ‘be warmed and filled’ when you can warm and fill that person with what you have. Don’t encourage someone to endure a problem you can solve for such a person, don’t tell him to manage when you can make him have enough to enjoy etc.
Some of you, the hair you fixed is enough to have solved the problem of that person that cried to you before you fixed that hair, you rather had a fixed hair than feeding a hungry belly that came to you for food, you rather buy a costly watch and drink a champagne that can pay a child’s school fees than helping out a needy, you rather prophesy that God gives someone 30$ when you have 400$ in your account etc.
Be the third person, not the first or second
God help us
