Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Have you ever found yourself constantly giving to people who
- 0:03Speaker 1: only drain you. Have you repeatedly helped someone only to
- 0:07Speaker 1: realize they were never truly changing.
- 0:10Speaker 2: The truth is not everyone is meant to be helped.
- 0:14Speaker 1: The Bible provides clear warnings about certain types of people
- 0:18Speaker 1: we should avoid helping, not out of a lack of love,
- 0:20Speaker 1: but out of wisdom and obedience to God. There is
- 0:24Speaker 1: a fine line between being a blessing and being an enabler,
- 0:27Speaker 1: and if we are not careful, we may find ourselves
- 0:30Speaker 1: being manipulated, used, and drained by those who have no
- 0:34Speaker 1: true desire to change. Proverbs four to seven says wisdom
- 0:38Speaker 1: is the principal thing. Therefore, get wisdom, and with all
- 0:40Speaker 1: thy getting yet understanding. This means that our help must
- 0:45Speaker 1: be guided by godly wisdom, not just emotions. In this message,
- 0:49Speaker 1: we will delve into God's warnings about the seven types
- 0:52Speaker 1: of people you should never help. These warnings are not
- 0:56Speaker 1: based on human opinions, but on powerful biblical principles that
- 1:00Speaker 1: will transform the way you give, serve, and protect your peace.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Many Christians struggle with guilt when it comes to saying
- 1:09Speaker 1: no to people. We have been taught that helping others
- 1:12Speaker 1: is always good. But what if I told you that
- 1:16Speaker 1: helping the wrong people can actually go against God's will.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Some people are not looking for true help. They seek
- 1:24Speaker 1: someone to carry their burdens while they continue in their ways.
- 1:28Speaker 1: They desire your effort, but reject your wisdom. Even Jesus
- 1:34Speaker 1: set boundaries, he walked away from certain people. John two
- 1:38Speaker 1: twenty four warned against casting pearls before swine Matthew seven
- 1:44Speaker 1: to six, and refuse to be manipulated by those unwilling
- 1:48Speaker 1: to change. If Jesus set boundaries, why do we struggle
- 1:52Speaker 1: to do the same. Let's explore the seven types of
- 1:56Speaker 1: people you should never help. According to the Bible, one
- 2:01Speaker 1: the lazy and idle. Beloved listen with spiritual ears and
- 2:07Speaker 1: a discerning heart. There is a difference between helping those
- 2:12Speaker 1: who are struggling and enabling those who refuse to move.
- 2:17Speaker 1: The Bible is clear laziness is not a weakness. It
- 2:22Speaker 1: is a choice, a habit, and ultimately a form of
- 2:25Speaker 1: self sabotage. Proverbs ten four declares lazy hands make for poverty,
- 2:34Speaker 1: but diligent hands bring wealth. If a person refuses to work,
- 2:40Speaker 1: to apply themselves, and to take responsibility, then the poverty
- 2:44Speaker 1: they experience is not an attack from the enemy. It
- 2:47Speaker 1: is a result of their own neglect. The Apostle Paul
- 2:51Speaker 1: was firm on this issue, writing to the Thessalonian Church,
- 2:54Speaker 1: if anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.
- 2:57Speaker 1: To Thessalonians three ten, this was not cruelty, but a
- 3:00Speaker 1: principle of divine accountability. God has structured life so that
- 3:04Speaker 1: we reap what we sow, and if someone sows nothing,
- 3:06Speaker 1: they should expect to reap nothing. When we continuously rescue
- 3:11Speaker 1: the lazy, we interfere with the divine system designed to
- 3:14Speaker 1: bring correction. Some people confuse helping with enabling. Understand this.
- 3:20Speaker 1: When you support a lazy person financially, you do not
- 3:23Speaker 1: bless them.
- 3:23Speaker 2: You cripple them.
- 3:26Speaker 1: When you make excuses for them, cover for them, or
- 3:28Speaker 1: bail them out, you rob them of the lesson that
- 3:31Speaker 1: could provoke them to change. Jesus himself illustrated the cost
- 3:36Speaker 1: of laziness in Matthew twenty five twenty four through thirty
- 3:39Speaker 1: through the parable of a servant who buried his talent
- 3:42Speaker 1: instead of investing it. When the master returned, he did
- 3:46Speaker 1: not reward the servant's fear or excuses. He called him
- 3:49Speaker 1: wicked and lazy, and took away.
- 3:50Speaker 2: What little he had. This is a biblical warning.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Those who refuse to act will eventually lose even what
- 3:56Speaker 1: they have. There is a distinction between those who cannot
- 4:00Speaker 1: and those who will not work. Proverbs six' nine nine
- 4:04Speaker 1: through eleven, warns how long will you lie, there you?
- 4:07Speaker 1: Sluggard when will you get up from your? SLEEP a little,
- 4:10Speaker 1: sleep a little, slumber a little folding of the hands to,
- 4:13Speaker 1: rest and poverty will come on you like a, thief
- 4:16Speaker 1: and scarcity like an armed. Man some of you are
- 4:21Speaker 1: exhausted because you keep trying to help people who refuse
- 4:24Speaker 1: to help. Themselves you pour out your, resources your, time
- 4:28Speaker 1: and your. Energy but the more you, give the less they.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Do that is not a godly. Burden there is a
- 4:34Speaker 1: time to help and a time to step. Back if
- 4:37Speaker 1: you keep feeding a man who refuses to plow his own,
- 4:40Speaker 1: field you prevent him from ever learning to Trust. God
- 4:46Speaker 1: sometimes the most loving thing you can do is SAY
- 4:49Speaker 1: i will not carry What god never asked me to.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Carry you may wonder how DO i know if someone
- 4:55Speaker 1: is lazy or just in a difficult. Season here are
- 4:58Speaker 1: some signs they always have an excuse for why they
- 5:02Speaker 1: can't work but have plenty of time for entertainment and.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Distractions they expect others to provide for, them but refuse
- 5:10Speaker 1: to put in any. Effort they have opportunities but reject.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Them they consistently waste, resources, money, time or. Talents they
- 5:21Speaker 1: only seek help in a, crisis but never take action
- 5:25Speaker 1: to prevent the next. One setting boundaries is not. Unkind
- 5:29Speaker 1: when the rich young ruler walked, Away jesus did not
- 5:33Speaker 1: chase after, Him mark, ten seventeen twenty. Two god allows
- 5:37Speaker 1: people to feel the weight of their choices because sometimes
- 5:40Speaker 1: pain is the only thing that provokes. Change if you
- 5:44Speaker 1: have been enabling, laziness it's time to, stop and if
- 5:47Speaker 1: you have been, lazy it's time to. Repent the good
- 5:50Speaker 1: news is That god gives grace to those who humble.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Themselves proverbs thirteen o four says a sluggard's appetite is never,
- 6:00Speaker 1: filled but the desires of the diligent are fully. Satisfied
- 6:05Speaker 1: if you rise, up shake off, complacency and put your
- 6:08Speaker 1: hands to, Work god will bless the work of your.
- 6:11Speaker 1: HAND i challenge you, today who are you helping That
- 6:15Speaker 1: god has told you to let? Go of pray for
- 6:18Speaker 1: wisdom and, discernment because the truth, is you can never
- 6:23Speaker 1: save someone who is committed to staying stuck to the.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Ungrateful there are people who will take your, sacrifice, love,
- 6:33Speaker 1: effort and, time yet act as if they were entitled to.
- 6:36Speaker 1: It ungratefulness is not just a bad. Habit it is

- 6:58Speaker 1: the other? Nine this is a question we must ask.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Ourselves where are the people who received but never? Returned
- 7:06Speaker 1: where are those who were helped but never express. Gratitude
- 7:10Speaker 1: gratitude is the mark of a humble and godly, heart
- 7:13Speaker 1: while ungratefulness is the mark of entitlement and. Selfishness in
- 7:18Speaker 1: Two timothy three to, Two paul warns that in the
- 7:20Speaker 1: last days people will be lovers of, themselves lovers of, money, ungrateful.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Unholy did you catch that.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Ungratefulness is a sign of a godless. Generation helping an
- 7:35Speaker 1: ungrateful person is like pouring water into a bottomless. Pit
- 7:40Speaker 1: no matter how much you, give it will never be.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Enough the more you, sacrifice the more they. Demand proverbs
