The Advantage Of Helping

Why do we need more people involved with helping in the ministry at New Beginnings?

It works when we are weary

It works when we are rested and fresh

It works when we are discouraged

It works when we are happy and joyous

It works when we are few in numbers

It works when we are numerous

So, we can see…

It works!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 KJV ⁹Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
¹⁰For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
¹¹Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
¹²And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

More Smiles – More workers

More workers - More accomplished

More accomplished – More excitement

More excitement – More desire to help

More of you* – More of others

*You did not think I could keep this up forever?

More of others – More saved

More saved – More hands

Examples of helping others:

Adam – Eve

Moses – Aaron and Hur

Held up his hands and stood in for him

Nehemiah – rebuilding of the wall

Half worked on the wall and half were holding spears and shields ready to fight

Macedonia and Paul

Acts 16:9 ⁹And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

I need your help.

We need each other’s help

I want your help

I appreciate your help

God can use our help to each other to help others
