HE WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION
WEDNESDAY 09
“And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed
their sick.”
Matthew 14:14 (NKJV)
READ: Matthew 14:13–21
Compassion is a major key if you are to be used to bless others. What other people are passing through should move you and cause you to desire something to be done about their situations or conditions. If it is in your heart to help or bless others, God will give you what it takes to be a solution to their problems or predicaments—you would be made a solution to, or solver of, other people’s problems.
Anointing of God is put on your life when it is in your heart to help others and solve their problems, that is, you have a compassion for others; you want to do something about their problems, whatever they might be passing through.
It is compassion that provokes the anointing!
And also, compassion is a byproduct of love. If you allow the love of God on your inside, which was deposited in you at new-birth, to find expression, you would be moved by the predicament of others (Romans 5:5). When you love,
you will have compassion for others. Jesus in our text was moved with compassion when He saw a great multitude, and that made Him heal their sick (Matthew 14:14).
You cannot be anointed to solve the problems of others without compassion, and compassion is as a result of love for the people. If you are desiring to be used to solve problems of others, either through spiritual means, or through the offering of help by giving them material things; your love for the people must be activated and seen before God could release whatever you need to solve their problems. When it is in your heart to bless other people, God will give you what it takes to do it.
It is either you are anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit, to minister healing and deliverance from every
oppression of the devil, or you are blessed with money to offer help in meeting the material needs of the people. The whole journey starts with allowing the love of God deposited in you by the Holy Spirit to find expression (Romans 5:5).
16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 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?
18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.”
1 John 3:16–19 (NKJV)
Reflect:
• When you see the multitude (the sick, the confused, the tired) what moves in you?
• Has ministry become duty without compassion in your life?
