Have you ever been down and lonely and you didn't see anyone to be there for you? Then you understand what it means for you to be encouraged. Have you ever had a plan but nobody was there to encourage you with words and finance, then you know what I am talking about. Encouraging others to achieve their set objectives can go a long way to please Even God. The reason why Eve was created was so she could be there for Him as at when he needs her. It was for her to encourage him, it was for her to advice him.
Yea, assuredly, there are so many people wandering about with very great ideas but there is no one to support them or assist them even by means of encouragement or financially. Yea, look at brother @abiye who had a vision to feed the whole world with fresh fish starting from his local community. Probably, he must have shared his vision with some of his friends and probably his family but wasn't getting any form of encouragement. He came online and found a challenge which he earnestly pursued @celestial challenge and furthermore came across a little church as at then @steemchurch and started blessing the whole of steemit with his well thought out post.
Finally, through his regular and consistent posting, he met the greatest encourager and human developer @Sirknight and shared his vision with Him. Obviously, the Knight was enthused with the such a great vision that someone could have and then encouraged him with both financial and all other supports you can think of. Now that's what encouragement should be.
Sometimes, we might be in situations where we can't help financially but we can help emotionally, we can help spiritually through prayers and as well as other areas. Even God is pleased to have us encourage others that need encouragement. Even the great Knight needs encouragement to continue helping people on steemit. When we post quality posts and well structured posts, without spamming ,the Knight is happy and blessed us through his upvotes. That's how life is.
When we encourage others, God is happy with us and shows that we don't only think about ourselves but others. It shows that we are following after God who despite our sins sent His only begotten son to die for us. We should always learn to put others first before ourselves.
Therefore, how should we encourage and be a good Encourager like the great SirKnight?. See them below;
Firstly, when you find yourself in a position to help, do not procaine. The perfect way to forget about your plans is to say you will do later. You will easily forget if you do that. There are times you wait for the perfect time but it is also very good to respond to people's need almost immediately by praying for them and then doing what you have in mind for them later.
Secondly , if you see anyone passing g through a difficult time, even though you don't know them from anywhere , try as much as possible to show that you care. It is often said that nobody care about how much you know, but about how you care. It's that simple, it could be on social media, try to reply and show encouragement. When I lost my mum, several people on this platform were there for me. That's how it should be.
Thirdly, there is a story my uncle turned dad used to tell me about two kids who went in search of greener pastures. All they were told by their parents was "Remember Home". One got there and did a sticker and pasted it to the door on the entrance to his House. The other completely forgot. However, Everytime the first one got his salary , because of the sticker, he always sends money home for his parents upkeeps but the other one always forgets. Soon they were old and retired home. The first one got a very new well furnished house and the other one had no where to stay. The parents told them that the house was the benefit of remembering home. All the money he was sending, was saved to build a house for him.
Therefore it is important to always remember where you are coming from no matter the position you are right now. That's how life is. Therefore always find out time to reach your parents and friends through any available means as it goes to show that you haven't forgotten them.
Fourthly, if you have someone who may be hospitalized, you can encourage them to be strong by simply taking your time to prepare a very nice dish for them or get a basket fruits for them and letting them know it is from you. It's that simple. Trust me they will sincerely like it.
Lastly, when you are less busy, you can hang out with people like you wife, children, friends , well wishers and others , just to show that you care. Likewise, in all these, when just like how the great knight does, he makes sure he brings one or two scriptures to back whatever he is doing. This is the way to go about encouraging others.
Finally, help celebrate the Greatest Encourager on steemit.
He is SirKnight

It's always good to have our neighbours in our minds. I also agree with you, there is no perfect time to help a person. When we encourage a person when he/she is going through difficulties that may look small, it will go a long way to help him.
Thanks for this writeup, I hope it moves the hearts of our parishioners.

Excellent the publication, sometimes with the things of the day adia, we forget many people, we dedicate ourselves more to the work.
There will never be a call, a message, a visit to those relatives and friends that we have few coincide with, some words of encouragement for which we see sad in the street.
From today to reconsider and put into practice the advice. Thanks for sharing.

@owoblow-steemit, this your post is timely. Yesterday ,around 11:30pm, a steemian who is my friend ,got me alerted that his fiancee just called the 1 1/2 years relationship off. Presently ,he's down emotionally. Did little of encouragement for him last night but I have to meet with him in person today to strengthen him further. I know how it hurts because I was once a victim.
Many people around us sinking emotionally because no one to strengthen them. I have read alot of encouraging post here on steemchurch, especially that of @sirknight , @deathlyhorror to mention but few.
It is a beautiful thing to be part of this family. Thanks to those who constantly posting encouraging words daily here. I am @alerite. I love you all.

To help others with the purest feelings is to be gratified in the glory of God, as a good giver and happy person, in addition to implode the growth of the neighbor is blessed, and to stop thinking a bit of selfishness and vanity. Thank you for this reflection so beautiful brother.

It is true dear friend, when we feel bad for some cause that we are going through at some point in our lives it is good to have someone, to feel the support but above all to feel that God does not abandon us when we trust fully in him. Blessings
