Not so long after getting born again in 1998, I listened to a captivating testimony of an ex-Satanist. He narrated how they used to attack churches, among other things. One particular church that gave them a hard time destroying was based in Rubaga. The reason why this church gave the Satanists a difficult time was because it was filled with love – church members dearly loved one another with the love of Christ. I recalled this testimony on Sunday, after Bob Asiimwe encouraged us to love one another, to look out for our fellow church members, even if we are all going through financially-trying times.

When life gets tough especially regarding money, the natural tendency for both believers in Christ and non-believers is to focus entirely on themselves, thereby ignoring the desperate needs of those around them. But this shouldn’t be the case for Christians, especially those of us at Last Adam Tabernacle (LAT).

When in Acts 11:28 the prophet Agabus showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world (which actually happened), “the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea. This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul” (Acts 11:29-30). Those Christians at Antioch should be our example. During this famine that we are all experiencing, to the extent that we are able, we should help those in need, even when we know that the famine is not ending tomorrow.

The Word of God tells us that: “Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:4). Looking out for each other is not only for the good times, but especially so for the bad times such as now. As we look out for our own interests (provision), we should also look out for the interests (provision) of our fellow church members. This kind of love should characterize LAT. If we love one another by caring for each other, not only will the Devil and his Satanists be disarmed in their schemes against us, but God will also be very pleased with us and He will bless us. Hallelujah!

“But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth” (1 John 3:17).

God bless you.
