Walking in Love - Part 11: Love Is Kind — Go Beyond “Not Hurting” People | John Giftah | Christian Sermon

Kindness is more than just “not hurting people.”Biblical love is active. It looks for ways to bless, help, encourage, and uplift others.
In this episode of the Walking in Love series, John Giftah challenges believers to move beyond neutral behavior into intentional kindness in words, actions, and attitudes.
Kindness reflects the heart of GOD.
Kindness reveals CHRIST to people.
Kindness changes atmospheres.

Speaker 1: a hub for inspirational Christian sermons, practical keys for Christian living,
Speaker 1: and Christian discussions and interviews. You'll be inspired to live
Speaker 1: the life that you were created for. Your host is
Speaker 1: a top ranking podcaster, best selling author, world record holder,

Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to this edition of the Fuel for
Speaker 2: the Soul of John gift Of podcast. And as you
Speaker 2: would have seen by the title that we're doing the
Speaker 2: CDs on how to Practically Walk in Love. We've covered
Speaker 2: a lot of practical things and this week, as we
Speaker 2: just get started to talk about a couple of things
Speaker 2: which maybe you already know. But I just want us
Speaker 2: to just journey together and pray that the Holy Spirit
Speaker 2: will show us the areas to get better at this
Speaker 2: because for me, I don't like to just take a
Speaker 2: verse at the surface level. I want to go deep.
Speaker 2: I want to make sure that I'm actually applying this
Speaker 2: in my life, so that I'm actually walking out the
Speaker 2: way God intends for me to do. And we already
Speaker 2: spoke about certain aspects from the passage that's known as
Speaker 2: the Passage of Love in the Bible in First Corinthians,
Speaker 2: Apter thirteen, where I spoke to you from verse four,
Speaker 2: the first part which is love is patient. I shared
Speaker 2: that in a couple of episodes where I spoke to
Speaker 2: you about how people are in a work in progress
Speaker 2: and we need to be people who are patient with
Speaker 2: people as they are in the process. And today I
Speaker 2: want to talk about one aspect, which is love is
Speaker 2: kind You might know this, you might have heard this
Speaker 2: a million times, but I just pray in the name
Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ that today will be a moment where
Speaker 2: you are making the intentional step to see an introspect.
Speaker 2: If you're really working in that kindness, are you showing
Speaker 2: kindness to people? Kindness is not just not hurting someone,
Speaker 2: but kindness is trying to go the extra mile and
Speaker 2: being good to them when you see somebody hurting. It's
Speaker 2: not just to say, oh, I'm praying for you, But
Speaker 2: if you can actually help them in some way to
Speaker 2: stand with them, maybe give them some money, or to
Speaker 2: actually help them with an encouraging word, or actually help
Speaker 2: them in doing something for them. I really recommend you
Speaker 2: to ask the Lord to show you people that you
Speaker 2: can be kind to. If you're seeing somebody who's just
Speaker 2: on the street and they're trying to sell something, and
Speaker 2: sometimes one of the things that again we can't do
Speaker 2: this all the time because of our commitments, I'm sure
Speaker 2: of that that there are times when sometimes, you know,
Speaker 2: you buy something just to be kind to them. I
Speaker 2: remember they recently been for a dinner and we were outside,
Speaker 2: you know, waiting for the vehicle, and there was a
Speaker 2: little boy coming and trying to sell something that I
Speaker 2: think like a cross or something, and there was no
Speaker 2: need for a rose, but looking at him, I just said,
Speaker 2: you know what, I feel sad for you. Everyone else
Speaker 2: was just like trying to ignore. I was like, I'm
Speaker 2: buying that. And then I gave him a one hundred
Speaker 2: Indian rupee note and I just gave it to him.
Speaker 2: He wanted to give me the rose. I said, no, no,
Speaker 2: it's I just want to bless you. And then just
Speaker 2: because he was he started crying and then he gave
Speaker 2: me two roses. But here's the thing I want you
Speaker 2: to understand, right Like I, of course you know that
Speaker 2: rose would have been like twenty Indian rupees, but I'd
Speaker 2: given him a hundred rupee note. But the thing is
Speaker 2: just that act of kindness, you know, like I didn't
Speaker 2: have to buy I could have just said, you know what,
Speaker 2: that's his problem. But that is what is to be
Speaker 2: in that place where you're sensitive to look someone and
Speaker 2: be like, you know what, let me be generous with
Speaker 2: money or time. Sometimes. The other day I met with
Speaker 2: someone and this person just wanted to went and even
Speaker 2: though I had some things planned out, I was like,
Speaker 2: you know what, this person needs this and took some
Speaker 2: time out and to just invest in the person. See
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to say is we all have our schedule,
Speaker 2: busy schedule, and for me, I've shared this so many times,
Speaker 2: my schedule is as arctic as ever. I work in
Speaker 2: a full time corporate job. I'm an aerospace engineer and
Speaker 2: I'm running the ministry with a daily podcast, YouTube, socials
Speaker 2: and TV everything like this so much on my plate.
Speaker 2: But the thing is I've been praying God helped me
Speaker 2: to be intentional about being kind to people, kind to
Speaker 2: people through my actions, kind to people through my words,
Speaker 2: because sometimes all the people need is a word of encouragement,
Speaker 2: just to say, hey, you did a good job. You know,
Speaker 2: sometimes we tend to withhold good things right, But I
Speaker 2: challenge you cool go out and be the guy who
Speaker 2: wants to give in to people, you know. Or what
Speaker 2: I mean, like for example, for my nature is I
Speaker 2: just still remember even yesterday in church, the pastor preach
Speaker 2: the sermon and I went to him. I just said, hey, faster,
Speaker 2: you did a great job today. I really loved your message. Now,
Speaker 2: to be honest, I'm saying this from my heart, you know.
Speaker 2: Like I mean, people can just say he's just doing
Speaker 2: his job, you know what I mean, He's just doing
Speaker 2: his job. But I was like, no, because I'm a minister.
Speaker 2: I know how it feels when someone comes and tells
Speaker 2: me sometimes your message was a blessing to me, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, I want to bless others. I want to
Speaker 2: go and tell him. And today, if you're listening to this,
Speaker 2: you know, it would be awesome if you could connect
Speaker 2: with me, maybe through the socials like Instagram or Facebook,
Speaker 2: or through YouTube, or some way, or you can even
Speaker 2: connect through my WALSAP broadcast and reach out and say
Speaker 2: how these messages have been a blessing to you. You know,
Speaker 2: don't just keep it to yourself. Be someone who's kind
Speaker 2: enough with your words to encourage someone. You know. I
Speaker 2: talk more about encouraging later in another segment, but today
Speaker 2: I'm challenging you to make it your commitment to be
Speaker 2: someone who would be kind kind to one another no
Speaker 2: matter what. Today ask the Lord, Lord, whom can I
Speaker 2: be kind? To Show me someone that I can fulfill
Speaker 2: them with your kindness. Show me someone that I can
Speaker 2: go the extra mile and be nice to someone and
Speaker 2: help them phether through action, to through deeds, through works,
Speaker 2: or through work words or just doing being there for them.
Speaker 2: It could be something. And I pray that the Lord
Speaker 2: will show you people so that you will go the
Speaker 2: extra mile, that when you walk people will say, hey,
Speaker 2: this person is an emblem of kindness. This person doesn't
Speaker 2: have pride or anything, is so kind all the time.
Speaker 2: And I pray that you will be that. In the
Speaker 2: name of Jesus, Immen, God bless you.
