Topic: One good turn deserves another.
Text: 2 Samuel 2: 4-7
Golden text: May the LORD now show you kindness and faithfulness and I too will show you the same favour because you have done this. 2 Samuel 2:6
A story was told of some students who were looking for water during dry season, on getting to a place to their amazement an old man welcomed them in, allowed them to fetch water and gave them privilege to fetch water at all times. Years roll on, one of the students was a director in a company, in the process of interviewing a job seeker, he discovered that the man was the son of the old man who used to give them water while in school. He was happy and eventually gave the man job who had been looking for job for several years.
The men of Jabesh Gilead put their lives into risk, attacked the Philistines, took the body of Saul and his sons and gave him a befitting burial. What could have made the men of Jabesh Gilead did that? Forty years ago Saul rescued the men of Jabesh from Nahash the ammonite who had enslaved them. Saul could have died like a dog but his good deeds saved him from such a disgraceful death.
Make doing good your hobby because one day it will save you from disgrace. When you do good, you are crediting your account and when it is time it shall pay you greatly because you will receive it back with interest from God.
Prayer:Lord help me to do good at all times in Jesus name
