DON’T OPPRESS OTHERS
“You must not mistreat or oppress foreigners in any way. Remember, you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt. “You must not exploit a widow or an orphan. If you exploit them in any way and they cry out to me, then I will certainly hear their cry. (Exodus 22:21-23 NLT).
We shouldn’t take advantage of people, rather be considerate with them, and help the poor and weak.
Through our walks in life and as God blesses us, we shouldn’t forget about those who are where we once were.
We should share our blessings with and give opportunities to others.
If we can help give the gift of education to someone who couldn’t afford university, let’s do it. If we are able to do it, let’s create a platform of influence for others.
There are people who simply need one opportunity, and be assured that they will take advantage of it to be influential leaders in this world. If we have a platform that enables us to empower them and launch them, let’s do it.
We should take advantage of every opportunity and remember that we also “were foreigners at one point and God used someone to bless us.”
We should, in grace, give what we have received by grace.
“You must not mistreat or oppress foreigners in any way. Remember, you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt. “You must not exploit a widow or an orphan.If you exploit them in any way and they cry out to me, then I will certainly hear their cry. (Exodus 22:21-23 NLT).
Think about it:
Do you remember who God used to bless you when you first came to the country?
Do you remember who believed in you and gave you an opportunity to succeed?
Who have you seen that has just recently arrived to this country, and how can you bless him or her? What can you do to help that person?
