Robbed, wounded and abandoned to die

SO MANY people are today going through horrible things and difficult times. They seem to have come to the end of their life journey, end of their career or their vision. It is like man and God have since abandoned them. Some have been dealt with terribly by Satan, enemies, friends, relations, and life’s misfortunes. Even those that they trusted, loved, and helped have betrayed, injured, and abandoned them. Some are struggling to bounce back while many others have completely given up, resigned to fate – waiting to be ‘deleted’ and forgotten. In fact, they have been left to rot away – with no hope and no future – licking their wounds and tears in secret.

Where are you now? Yes, I am asking you. What is your current situation? Were you betrayed? Were you attacked, fatally bruised, and wounded? Were you robbed? Or maybe you are currently abandoned to die? Tell me. Listen now, your story is not worse than the man Jesus described here “… A Jewish man was travelling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by.

A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’ Luke 10:30-35

HELP IS COMING!

My God! Listen, your help is coming! He is sending somebody to lift you out of that situation. And surprisingly, it will come from where you least expected. I just prayed for a man who thinks everything had come to an end. No money, no peace in the home, no favour, no love and no trust from relations, and no hope.

And the worst is that he was totally betrayal by those he trusted physically and spiritually. You know it is easier to endure when you lose physical things. But when those that should help you emotionally and spiritually also disappoint, it makes the matter worse and will take God’s grace for you to survive and still move on. This is why the punishment, the curses for betrayers, spiritual, priestly fraudsters and fakes will always be greatly multiplied.

Don’t defraud the innocent, the gullible, and the wounded who are seeking for healing in the name of God or religion. Don’t manipulate people to extort and steal from them in the name of God and spiritual help. If you do, your end and reward surely will be painful and disastrous.

But that is not what we are talking about today. Our friend, the Jewish man, was travelling from Jerusalem to Jericho. The men of the underworld, the robbers, and the bandits attacked him, beat him up, stole all his money and goods and left him there on the highway to die. Yes, people can be that wicked! But they were simply imitating their father the Devil who the Bible said that he goes about killing, stealing, and destroying. That has been his ministry everywhere throughout the ages.

HELP FROM UNEXPECTED QUARTERS

A priest that should have compassion and offer help came, saw this man, crossed over to the other lane and walked away. And a Levite came around and did the same. Those who are supposed to help him ran away. But help still came from unexpected quarters: a despised Samaritan, one that should not have anything or much to do with a Jew!

Those that you expected and waited to help you have disappeared and others are currently watching how you are going to come out of this mess. But I have good news for you today. God is sending help to rescue you out of that situation! You will not die in it. You will not be consumed by it! They conspired to betray you. They ganged up to attack and steal from you for no just cause. They conspired and took your position. They dealt treacherously with you and stepped aside to watch you weep and lick your wounds.

They thought nobody saw them, but God did. He has come to heal you and also punish the wicked. He has come to heal you emotionally, spiritually, physically, and financially. Yes, you were wounded, abused, and abandoned, but you are healing now! It will be a total package.

The Good Samaritan stopped, knelt near the wounded man, cleaned and treated his wounds and bandaged them. He lifted him on to his own donkey. He also took him to a place of safety and total care and paid the cost. This is exactly what God is coming to do for you now. It is going to be a total healing package. Get up and wipe off those tears because something glorious is about to happen to you! We will continue. God bless! Please share this message.
