Our Daily Manna Devotional 3rd September 2023 TOPIC: THE ONE-WORD TELEGRAM: “OTHERS”

 

BASIC SCRIPTURE: PHILIPPIANS 2:1-11

General William Booth founded the Salvation Army. He was invited shortly before his death to give the main address at an international convention.

Though people were eager to hear his address from his sick bed, he sent a one-word telegram which read: “OTHERS.”

We live in a world where there is a lot of self-centredness or selfishness.

Many people are more concerned about themselves with less consideration for others. This is not strange because the Bible declares that in the end times, “Men shall be lovers of their own selves”(2Timothy3:2).

However, Apostle Paul exhorts us by the Holy Spirit to “look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others” (Vs. 4).

In this 2nd half of the year 2023, let us learn to shift focus from ourselves and to consider others. Jesus did not consider His reputation; rather He shifted attention from Himself to us and He died in our place. That was a demonstration of love, for love does not seek her own.

Scripture declares that “greater love hath no man than this; that a man lay down his life for his friends”(John 15:13). Do something to consider others and the Lord will prosper you and your family this year!

Forgive the unforgivable! How many souls did you lead to Christ last year? How many children/teenagers did you help? How many orphanages/hospitals did you visit? How many widows did you help? Why are you after MIRACLES, MIRACLES AND MIRACLES – all for yourself?

Listen to D. L. Moody: “Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.”

A man of God called Mike Murdock said, “What you make to happen to others, the Lord will make to happen to you.” So think of others and help someone weekly and this year! Shalom!
