Paul’s Plea for Onesimus

The Best of the Feast Jun. 20, 2017 – Philemon 1 Paul’s Plea for Onesimus “34 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” 1 Chronicles 16:34 New King James Version (NKJV). clic aquí en español Today JUN. 20, 2017 @ 9 AM I am going in to surgery for cancer.  Please say a prayer for me the Surgeon and staff, that God guides them and I will be healed.  Let God’s perfect will be done.  Thank you all, praise Jesus precious name! Philemon Overview; “Philemon was an inhabitant of Colosse, a person of some note and wealth, and a convert under the ministry of St. Paul. Onesimus was the slave of Philemon: having run away from his master, he went to Rome, where he was converted to the Christian faith, by the word as set forth by Paul, who kept him till his conduct proved the truth and sincerity of his conversion. He wished to repair the injury he had done to his master, but fearing the punishment his offence deserved might be inflicted, he entreated the apostle to write to Philemon. And St. Paul seems no where to reason more beautifully, or to entreat more forcibly, than in this epistle.” –  Matthew Henry Concise Concordance Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading the book of Philemon Chapter 1.  Paul greets Philemon and appeals to the love (see Philemon 1:1-7) he shares as a brother in Christ. He pleads (rather than demands) for Philemon to accept his runaway slave Onesimus back as a brother (see Philemon 1:8-14) and fellow believer in Jesus.  He doesn’t try to make light of the sins committed by Onesimus, he points out that as a brother (see Philemon 1:15-22) in Jesus he will be a more useful servant. Paul ends this letter with  these final words; “23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, 24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow laborers. 25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.“ Philemon 1:23-25  NKJV.    This letter makes me think about all the wrongs people commit and (see Luke 7:47-50) the power of forgiveness in the name of Jesus.  “16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16 NKJV. We should pray that our sins will be forgiven (see Luke 6:37) and at the same time forgive all sins that have been done against us.

Paul declares that grace and salvation is God’s gift (See Titus 1:11-15) to all men who love Jesus and are called according to his purpose; “13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.   15 Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you. “   Titus 2:13-15  NKJV.    He reminded them to be obedient doing every good work (see Titus 3:1-7) in the name of Jesus.  To avoid foolish controversy, quarrels and disagreements, (see Titus 3:8-11) moving on after they continue to reject the Word. Paul finishes the letter with expressions of the love, favor and grace of God; “14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful. 15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith.” Titus 3:14-15 NKJV. Never worry about what to say or do in God’s service, study God’s Word (see John 14:26) the Holy Spirit will bring Jesus’ words to you as needed.   “6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV.

The Qualifications for Elders

The Best of the Feast Jun. 18, 2017 – Titus 1 The Qualifications for Elders Book of Titus Overview; “This epistle chiefly contains directions to Titus concerning the elders of the Church, and the manner in which he should give instruction; and the latter part tells him to urge obedience to magistrates, to enforce good works, avoid foolish questions, and shun heresies. The instructions the apostle gave are all plain and simple. The Christian religion was not formed to answer worldly or selfish views, but it is the wisdom of God and the power of God.” Matthew-henry-concise concordance  “3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;”  2 Timothy 4:3 New King James Version (NKJV). clic aquí en español 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. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading the book of Titus Chapter 1.   The letter of Paul to Titus begins with a greeting (see Titus 1:1-4) to raise up hope and faith.  Paul lays out the qualifications for the Elders (see Titus 1:5-9) to oversee the believers. Paul warns us against those who try to hold believers (See Titus 1:10-15) to the law rather than faith in Jesus; “15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.“   Titus 1:15-16  NKJV.    We should avoid those who (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5) depend strictly on works rather than faith.  This world we now live in can only be saved by faith in God and the power of prayer and repentance; “14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”  2 Chronicles 7:14  NKJV. Therefore when we hear someone complaining about the state of our world explain to them that God has given us a plan (see Ephesians 4:15) wherefore it can be saved.

For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh."”  Isaiah 66:22-24  NKJV.  The great and wonderful day of judgments (see Hebrews 10:36) will be a day of rejoicing for those who wait upon the Lord. “12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;.”  Romans 12:12 NKJV.  The believers in the one God and with one mind (see Romans 15:6) give glory and honor to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
