Apostle Paul by the Spirit instructed Titus, "The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people" (Titus 3:8 ESV). He instructed him to insist on teaching that those who believe in Jesus should devote themselves to good works. God wants your life to be full of good works. This is what we see in our theme scripture. It is a story of a lady disciple named Tabitha (or Dorcas) who lived at Joppa. She was full of good works and alms deeds. She is first introduced to us as a disciple so that we know the good works were done not to be saved. She did good works because she was a believer. As a child of God, aside blessing your world with the gospel, don't forget good works in sharing your material and financial resources to the needy in society.

Your good works are a voice of God's love for the hurting and needy in the world. 1 Timothy 6:18 says, "Command them (the rich) to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share". Let your financial and material prosperity be a blessing to others around you. Tabitha used her resources and skill to be a blessing to the needy. With that she made a huge impact in the welfare of the people so much so that they wouldn't easily let her body be buried when she died. They called for Peter who raised her up. Be rich in good works. Be a helper of others. Sometimes you may have your brothers and sisters in God's house who may have challenges.

Don't shut your bowels of compassion towards them. Make sure you do good to all men, especially those of the household of faith (Galatians 6:10). Be a blessing to others because God designed you so.
