We have to keep learning to share. The bible everywhere talks about sharing and helping the needy. In the Old Testament, the Israelites were instructed to harvest their grains in such a way that the poor and needy will still have something to eat.

In the New Testament, the apostles all shared what they had to take care of those who did not have.

The group of followers all felt the same way about everything. None of them claimed that their possessions were their own, and they shared everything they had with each other.

Acts 4:32[CEV]

Likewise, in the book of Romans and chapter twelve verse thirteen, the writer speaks about helping Christians like you.

Take care of God’s needy people and welcome strangers into your home.

Rom 12:13[CEV]

Another translation puts it this way

Share what you have with God’s people who are in need. Be hospitable.”
Rom 12:13 [GW]

Do you have a friend who is a believer like you, maybe at school, church, or the neighborhood? Do you share what you have with them according to the verse above?

As a Christian, you are supposed to first share with your fellow brethren as the apostles did in the bible. Jesus said we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. keep learning to share.

Your neighbors are your brothers and sisters in the Lord.

May the Lord instill in you a heart of love towards your fellow Christians. Amen

Prayer:
Lord help me love my fellow Christians as commanded. Amen.

Action point:
In what ways can you share your things with fellow Christians who are your friends?

Declaration:
I share my things with those around me.
