Why Do Secret Missions

While doing acts of kindness openly is good, we are directed by God to also do secret acts of kindness periodically to help ensure that our motives are pure and so that we are rewarded by God instead of looking for limited external earthly rewards.

​

​

 

In Matthew: 6 1-4, Jesus says:

 

“Take care! Don’t do your good deeds publicly or before men in order to be seen by them; otherwise, you will have no reward with and from your Father Who is in heaven.

 

Whenever you give to the poor, don’t shout about it as the hypocrites do blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets and calling attention to their acts of charity! I tell you in all earnestness, they have received all the reward they will ever get.  But when you do a kindness to someone, do it secretly-don’t tell the left hand what your right hand is doing.  And your Father who knows all secrets will reward you openly.

 

 

Proverbs 28:27 says that “He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. The poor can be defined broadly as anyone in need (physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially). Anyone who is less fortunate than you, needs words of encouragement, are lonely, or who doesn’t know Christ, is in need. That covers just about everyone!

 

As a GSS Agent, you are encouraged to regularly conduct secret surveillance in your daily life in order to identify people in need. OBSERVE people and LISTEN to what they say they may need. Then, plan small or large creative ways to use your words, time, talent or resources to secretly meet identified needs. You will have joy and fulfillment in planning and executing your covert missions of service and you will be storing up treasures in Heaven!
