WISDOM FOR THE DAY DEVOTIONAL
BY BISHOP MIKE OKONKWO
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 5th, 2026
TOPIC: GIVE A HELPING HAND
“Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.” – Daniel 2:49 KJV
The way of the Kingdom of God is that we should always be supportive of each other. We should go out of our way to give a helping hand to others in the Kingdom, to lift others up. Once you're elevated, your job is to elevate others, not for every other person to be coming for crumbs and handouts.
Empower them so that all of us can stay on the same table. God didn't put you on the table for your brother to be under the table. He put you there for you to empower them. I know you'll give me an excuse now that some Christians will disappoint you once you go into a deal with them. But there are others who won't disappoint. So don't give me that excuse; there are many honest and sincere ones.
For those of you who have been empowered and are dishonest, you’d better change. People went out of their way to help you, and then you create a problem for the person. That is unacceptable! You say you're a Christian, but something's wrong. You must change your attitude and behaviour.
Don't spoil something that is designed to build the body. Don’t remove the chair for other people. What happens is that the person will say, “I don't want trouble.”
Of course, I wouldn't expect someone you've put in trouble in the past not to want to protect themselves. The natural human instinct is to foreclose on others and avoid this type of situation.
Don’t let down the person who helped you. Keep your integrity! Why would a brother help you, and you end up putting him in trouble for helping you? You came with tears, so I went out of my way to help. When it is time for you to play your part, you're telling me stories. It is not right. It is people like that who are shutting the door against others. We must think Kingdom.
