Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 25, Day 3: Tuesday, 20th June 2023. Topic: WHAT THE BELIEVERS LACKS 3: Sharing In Love

42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and TO SHARING IN MEALS (INCLUDING THE LORD’S SUPPER), and to prayer.

The third virtue lacking in the lives of believers that makes Christianity less active is “Sharing in Love”, giving in love, meeting other needs without preference, tribalism, sentiment or nepotism. The sharing in the days of the Apostles is not about profit or gain but they share to create equality amongst themselves. The rich sold what they have to take care of the poor and the needy. Every gap between the lowly and the highly place were covered. No tribalism or sentiment of Greek or Hebrews, they all share things equal. That was why Jesus told the rich man, “Sell what you have and give to the poor” Math. 19: 20-21.

We read the account of how believers sold their properties to care for the less privilege then, but now, it’s I and my family, my towns men. Instead of sharing we look down on the less privilege and castigate them for being lazy or unproductive, yes they are, but you left them unproductive by sharing your wealth with others within your circle alone. These and many more has caused division in the house of God. It’s time to share with one another, to help those who need help who aren’t your relative or towns men. This is one of the bonds that the Apostles enjoy in their days, we can do the same.

Good Day and God Bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
