Matthew 28:19 tells us, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" Often times we refer to this scripture as the "Great Commission", and so it is but it is also what God instructs us to do with considerable intensity. Thus it falls directly in line with this intentional challenge.
I know this may seem difficult at first but I pray that you will buy into it. We are told in Acts 20:35, "I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive." Yes, we all like to receive but, I am praying that you will take this opportunity to bless someone whom you may not normally bless; and, in doing so I promise you will be more blessed.
You see, this scripture "more blessed to give than to receive" is God's way of letting us know that even though our situations may be difficult right now, there is someone whose situation is worse. When you are able to extend a hand, that is a blessing. Keep in mind, Ephesians 6:8 tell us, "Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free."
