Numbers 32:1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;
So they asked Moses to give them that land as their inheritance.
They
said they would go with the other tribes of Israel and fight with them
to help them possess their inheritance on the other side of Jordan.
This was agreeable with all.
4 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
5 Therefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
The tribes of Ruben and Gad said:
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead: 27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
This plan was fair and right.

We
help the New Testament church today as we exhort them and build them in
the word of God. They move into their place on this earth, every
location is given them by God and God sets the exact times they will
live in that place.
Acts 17:26 And (God) hath
made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of
the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed (God chooses the times they will live there), and the bounds of their habitation (God chooses the exact places they will live);
In Bible we are instructed:
Hebrews 10
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for HE is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
(We
share scriptures and things God has helped us with in our lives. We
encourage one another by sharing with those who are born of the spirit
of God wherever we find them.)
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together (we assemble with other believers all over the world as we send emails with "exhortations" to build the church everywhere), as the manner of some is; but exhorting (giving advice and warnings to) one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day (of the coming of Jesus) approaching.

We
help each other to have strength and courage in God, knowing that God
will never fail us nor forsake us and we share the victories given to us
when God gives us a word of exhortation as we deal with our own
problems.
Philemon v. 5
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the
acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
So
we help each other by each communication where we tell the
encouragement given to us by the Holy Spirit of God. We share that
which God has shown us. The important thing for faith is what God has
said and done in these days for each of us.
Revelation 3:5 Jesus says:
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I
will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess
his name before MY Father, and before HIS angels.
