The Best of

“24
A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who
sticks closer than a brother.” Proverbs 18:24 New King James Version
(NKJV).
2Nd
Timothy Overview; “The first design of this epistle seems to have been, to
apprize Timothy of what had occurred during the imprisonment of the apostle,
and to request him to come to Rome. But being uncertain whether he should be
suffered to live to see him, Paul gives a variety of advices and
encouragements, for the faithful discharge of his ministerial duties. As this
was a private epistle written to St. Paul’s most intimate friend, under the
miseries of imprisonment, and in the near prospect of death, it shows the
temper and character of the apostle, and contains convincing proofs that he
sincerely believed the doctrines he preached.” – Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Concise)
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day
praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue
our Feast reading 2nd Timothy Chapter
1. Paul a brother in Jesus Christ builds his Christian
brother up setting the pace for the epistle, continuing with (See 3
John 1:4) encouragement. When Jesus called the disciples did he
put them down or complain to them about the state? No (see Mark 1:17)! He
simply invited them to follow him. “16 The Lord grant mercy to the household
of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;
17 but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and found me.
18 The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day—and
you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus. “ 2
Timothy 1:16-18 NKJV. Jesus taught them about the
kingdom of God and why it was important to love others (see John
13:34-35) to please the Father. Then he warned them
about the worldly. “Do they not go astray who devise evil? Those
who devise good meet steadfast love and faithfulness.” Proverbs
14:22 NKJV. Think about how you relate to
others. Give them a warm greeting rather than complaints. That’s
how they’ll find out who you are and maybe they too will want to become (see Matthew 4:19) fishers of men. If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.
Listen
carefully! Is Jesus calling you? Do
you want to share with Jesus? Do you
want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life? If the answer is yes to any of these
questions please click the following link http://admenu.com/calling.html.
Today’s Verse; ”[
The Outworking of Love ] By this we know love, because He laid down His life
for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren” 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 NKJV.
God Bless You,
Brother Mike
