Topic: Reach Out To The Unreached
Text: Luke 14:12-14
12Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
13But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Key Verse: “But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:” Luke 14:13
Message
The people of the world believe so much in what is referred to as “survival of the fittest”. This means that you must struggle to be relevant in everything. There are inequalities and discrimination all over the world. The privileged have it all while the underprivileged are isolated and neglected. Many people will only help those who can repay them.

Unlike in the world, everyone is welcomed in God’s kingdom. When it comes to God’s family, no one is isolated or disadvantaged. The love and compassion of Christ in our hearts as believers provide us with a wonderful sense of fellowship. In today’s passage, Jesus instructs us not to invite (to dinner) only those who can repay the favour, but also those who cannot. As Christians, we should not exclude anyone from salvation. God saves people, even the worst sinners.
Today, Jesus is calling you to look around and reach out to the unlikely and neglected people. Tell them that Jesus loves them and wants them to come to His kingdom. The Lord will bless you as you devote your life to this glorious work.

Prayer for today: God, please give me Christlike compassion to reach out to the world’s neglected people with the gospel.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
