Do Not Show Favouritism!


Dear Saints,
Greetings!
I greet you this morning, once more in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and thank you for taking time to read this morning’s short Daily Devotion, by the Wisdom of God Church Online.

Scripture!
Our guiding text is written in the letter to James, chapter 2:1-5 NIV:

1 My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don’t show favouritism.

2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine cloths, and a poor man in shabby cloths also comes in.

3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine cloths and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there,” or, “Sit on the floor by my feet,”

4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

5 Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?

Devotion Lesson
Dear friend this morning God speak to us through His wisdom, that as we go out today we must not favour between people. At work, at the college, in the church and in family gatherings we often favour some people over the other.


We wait for those we favour before we start the party and if those we don’t favour are late, we don’t care anyway and go ahead without them, sometimes so that we discourage poor to feel unwelcomed at our meetings.

But the bible is clear, that we must have an equal respect, love and care for our guest, our neighbours, our friends and colleagues.

As you go out there today, learn from this amazing teaching from this devotion, share your love and care equally among the people you encounter today.

Be friendly and mindful to all and treat the least as if they are worth gold (as well). Remember that by doing so, you may entertain an angel of the Lord and will be rewarded greatly in heaven.

Let us pray:

Awesome God, Lord of everything that exist,

Thank you for a wonderful teaching this morning, please show us how to be compassionate to everyone without showing favouritism.

Guide us today, through the power of Your Spirit and let us continue to see your greatness as we go through this week.

In the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen!

Have a fantastic Monday and the best week ahead. May God Bless You!

Like the story of Lazarus (poor) and the rich man who was begging Lazarus for a little bit of water, while burning in hell! Let us make smart choices and be equal to everyone!
