TOPIC : FUNCTIONING IN YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE
TEXT 2 TIMOTHY 4: 5-8
[5]As for you, be calm and cool and steady, accept and suffer unflinchingly every hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully perform all the duties of your ministry.
[6]For I am already about to be sacrificed [my life is about to be poured out as a drink offering]; the time of my [spirit's] release [from the body] is at hand and I will soon go free.
[7]I have fought the good (worthy, honorable, and noble) fight, I have finished the race, I have kept (firmly held) the faith.
[8][As to what remains] henceforth there is laid up for me the [victor's] crown of righteousness [for being right with God and doing right], which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me and recompense me on that [great] day–and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved and yearned for and welcomed His appearing (His return).
These were some of apostle Paul's parting messages to his son Timothy.
He was actually about being sacrificed by beheading, but he was unbowed in his unalloyed service to God.
He never complained nor ever regretted being a slave of the Lord.
How do you respond when you suffer for the Lord Jesus Christ?
Realize that He died for you, you now owe Him to live for Him.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
