Greetings to all the parishioners of our church #steemchurch and to our amiable spiritual director @sirkinght and to the @apostles. It is really to see another great day that our lord has made . Happy sunday to you all. I will be talking about "THE ACT OF CHARITY".

The 10 great commandment given to us by our father in heaven through moses is actually divided into two parts which are; (a). The love for God and (b). The love for our neighbours.

So it is imperative for us to show gueniue love to the people around us through the act of giving, lending a helping hands, playing with them, showing concern,e.t.c. Now let take a look at the meaning of charity. This mainly mean the act of showing love through different ways. It could also mean "The practice of charity means the voluntary giving of help to those in need, as a humanitarian act."

Way you could induge in the act of charity

There many ways one could induge in the act of charity , and some of these include the following;

1. Through Giving
   The act of charity in this manner is most common around us. It is a way of helping those in need when you are at the disposal of that thing . This giving could be in terms of monetry form( money), knowledge, strenght, e.t.c

2. Through concern
   This is one of the act of charity i consider the best. It is one of the difficult one and the most rare thing found around us. It is actually giving attention to the things happening around, and to your neighbours. Always try to show concern to things happening around you and don't feel less concern.

3. Through Assistance
   The act of charity is felt through giving assistance or lending a helpful hands to those in need of it. It could be some need something from you e.g, you see an old woman trying to carry a heavy load all by herself, he or she could give her an assistance of helping her lift or carry the load. Through the this act we have shown love to her and more especially to God our father

4. Through Respect
   This is one of the origin of building or laying a good foundation of a child. The act of charity is seen in the respect of younger ones to their elders and also important the respect of the elders ones to the younger ones.

   That is why a wise man once said that " respaect is reciprocial"
   .
   NOTE: if we say that we love God and we keep his commmandment by respecting him , then we should ourselves, respect and love our fellow neighbours as they too was created in the same image and likness of God our creator.

Ways we get the act of charity wrong

There are more than one ways we get the act of charity wrong but thinking we are performing the geniune act of charity. Some of these ways include the following;

1. Pretence
   This is claiming that you are doing the act of charity, but actually not performing anything.

2. Lieing
   This is the easiest way of false acting of charity. It is very quick to say something but very hard to do it

3. Through force
   It is the unwillingness or the undesire for somenoe to do something. This is when it does not come within oneself or heart or desire. You are been pushed to do it.
