Where is your brother ?

Gen 42:15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.

The proof of the Christian is in the doing. The question that beats at the door of our hearts today is … where are our brothers? There are many Christians who are too busy with their Christian walk to think about evangelism and helping others. Helping others delays our speed and curtails our progress. Many are confident they will beat their chest at the gates of eternity only to be asked … where is your brother? Yes, your brother the village drunkard, your sister the city prostitute … your brother the brothel manager … your sister the high fashion model. Indeed, you reckoned they would not be interested in the gospel or you were daunted at how you would follow them up. But the records of Heaven indicate they were to have received the gospel through you and that is why you had all the opportunities.

But then you who read this devotional cannot be said to be a spy of the enemy. Go then and look for your brother. Bring him also to be refreshed by the living waters and taste the bread of Heaven. I sometimes guess that the best evidence of salvation is being an incurable evangelist … telling as many as you can that Jesus saves.

I also suspect the trait to easily spot a spy is the quietness that has no converts, no disciple … nothing to show the master if He asks … where is your brother. Prove your faith by sharing it.

Song.

Is your life a channel of blessing? Is the love of God flowing through you?

Are you telling the lost of the Savior? Are you ready His service to do?

Make me a channel of blessing today, Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;

My life possessing, my service blessing, Make me a channel of blessing today.

Is your life a channel of blessing? Are you burdened for those that are lost?

Have you urged upon those who are straying, The Savior who died on the cross?

We cannot be channels of blessing If our lives are not free from all sin;

We will barriers be and a hindrance To those we are trying to win.

Prayer: O Lord, make me a channel of blessing – give me a burden for the lost. Amen
