Our dear Christian brothers and sisters, I hope you are well by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Today we will know what the Bible says about helping our poor, needy, and orphans.
God’s Word tells us – we should always be ready to help others, especially the poor and orphans.
We cannot give anything directly to God because God does not need anything but we give to God by helping His people and the Bible says that when we help the poor we lend to God and He will repay us.
If we look in the Book of Acts, we see that all the believers of God and disciples sold their property and shared it with each other, and (Acts 20:35) we see on the way there Paul said we must work hard and help the needy. Yes, because the Lord Jesus Christ says that giving is more than receiving.
Let us now look at some of the verses in the Bible.
Deuteronomy 15:7(KJV)“If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother”

Deuteronomy 15:10-11(KJV)“Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land”
Explanation:- God will bless us when we step forward to help others. The Lord sees our works and he will be pleased by seeing our charitable deeds. As the Lord is the rewarder of our works so we need to be wise in giving others especially those who are in trouble to run their families.
