The poor and needy are one of the six people whom God loves the best.

If you possess wealth, help the poor. If you are in a position of authority, be the voice for the voiceless.

When God entrusted you with prosperity He expects that you will bless others also.

If you know the will of the Father and does not do it you will be beaten with many stripes (Luke 12:42-48).

Some people are being beaten with many stripes and think that they are going through trials, but not every trial or affliction originates from the devil.

Some trials are retributions!

The Bible states that God chastises those whom He loves just as a father chastened his child.

We need to be cognizant of this fact so that we can readily repent when we err and return to the right path.

As Christians we should never avenge wrong doing.

Instead, we should leave that role to our heavenly Father because He said,

“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” (Romans 12:19 NKJV)

Our earthly responsibility is to help the helpless, speak for the voiceless, defend the truth, protect the rights of the poor and judge fairly.

I pray for boldness to do the what is right and just to all people regardless of their background.

I pray for wisdom to surrender to the will and purpose of the Lord.

In Jesus name, Amen!
