loving others is one character that lifts men from their low estates to higher grounds. That was what Joseph did. While in prison, he saw the sad countenances of his fellow prisoners and showed love and interest. The love he showed in interpreting their dreams was his stepping stone to the palace. This means, the love or interest you show someone today can take you to your palace tomorrow.

You see, unlike Joseph, there are church members today who can see their fellow brethren in bad shapes of life, and pass by without showing any care for them. Sometime ago, I saw someone putting on a piece of suit they looked like a "coat" of those days. Then, I called him and said to him, "You know what, do not wear this "suit" again for life because it is no longer wearable. I will give you two new suits as mantles" Then I prayed for him. Afterwards, I called him and gave him the two suits as I earlier told him. Tears filled his eyes, and he said with gratitude, "Sir, you did not only tell me the problem, you solved it for me."

Today, many people see the problems of others, but instead of helping to solve the problems, they criticize and sometimes mock the people. They would say, "Look at him! Look at the shoes he is wearing, as if it is a masquerade's! What a heart! Truth is, people do not even care whether you have the solution to their problems. If only you can show genuine interest and care, they will value it.

Beloved, show interest in the brethren and the people you come across. Show interest. Show love.

Show concern for others when and where necessary.
