*ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER….!*

*MORNING MANNA*

*TUESDAY, 23 AUG 2022*

The last ministry of Moses was the ministry of encouragement. The Lord told him, “Go and encourage Joshua.” It’s after that that the Lord took Moses into glory. Similarly, the last ministry of Jesus was the ministry of encouragement. He told the penitent thief, “Today you will be with Me in Paradise.” What an encouragement that thief must have got! Let us encourage others with the Word of God.

Look at one of the last ministries of St.Paul. For forty days and forty nights they had no light, no sun, moon or stars – the ship they were in was caught in a tempest. Nobody could eat; everyone was discouraged. But in that moment of despair, Paul stood up before everyone. “Be of good cheer,” he said, “There stood by me this night the angel of God Whose I am, and Whom I serve.” (Acts 27:22,23) He was able to encourage others because he knew God was on his side. Child of God, do you know that God is on your side? Then you do, you can encourage others.

The Lord has given you the ministry of encouraging others. Speak the word of faith. Don’t speak out what you see with your natural eyes, and discourage others – like the ten spies did. Let it never once be said of us, “Our brethren have discouraged (melted) our hearts!” Like Joshua and Caleb, let us tell others, “We are well able to overcome!”

John 3:16-21 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son Jesus Christ, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

John 3:33-36 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. Amen

Let us pray: Heavenly Father we praise you and give all glory to you Lord. Thank you for sending your son Jesus Christ to save us from hell punishment. Thank you Jesus Christ for taking my sin punishment on the cross and sheded your Holy blood to make me worthy to enter your kingdom of heaven. I ask forgiveness for all the sin I have done in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you Holy Spirit, help us encourage one another in the God’s way and also help us to walk according to the holy words given in Holy Bible. In Jesus precious name I pray. Amen

– *PRAISE THE LORD*
