Isaiah 50:4 “The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned”.
No one man can be an island. Everyone needs someone in life and that’s why you must be an encourager to someone. The Bible says “The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary…”
As individuals we have an obligation, one to another. For those, who are strong and are at an advantageous position, God wants you to use it to the benefit of other people and not to destroy them.
Isaiah 41:6 says “They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage”. There is no need to tear people down in life because you are stronger than them or have a position of power.
Life has seasons and times. Times of happiness and sorrow, times of plentiful and moments of lack. These seasons affects everyone alike, just at different times. If you find yourself in a good place today, don’t use it as an occasion to trample on others. On the contrary, capitalize on such times to encourage someone who may be down in life today.
Jesus after praying for Apostle Peter, gave him a similar mandate. “But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren”. (Luke 22:32)
You are called to be a strengthener. Always find an opportunity to encourage someone around you, because in this chaotic world with so many depressed people around, the best you can do sometimes is to just say some good words of encouragement to someone.
Don’t be self-centered in life. Look also unto the things of others as well.
Be an encourager today!
