TEXT 2 TIMOTHY 4:9-11
CLASSIC
TOPIC : THE COST OF POWER.
[9]Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
[10]For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
[11]Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
Dearly beloved, those who are on the pursuit of their calling are usually on a lonely part.
They are often abandoned and forsaken by friends, loved ones and trusted allies.
I have not said this so you will develope self pity, no.
The seriousness of your calling will determine the type of people who will travel with and camp around you.
The call to preach the gospel is not a call to comfort so it will be a lonely one in the beginning.
The dimension of Samson's calling, required that a razor was never to touch his hair.
He was also not to touch alcohol or he will destroy the call of God upon his life.
Our callings are all like that.
God wants us to sanctify our bodies and be holy.
He does not desire but demands consecrated men and women to appear before Him.
No one will fulfill God's calling if he refuses to separate himself from the world.
God desires solitude in order to impregnate your spirit with His vision for your generation.
Begin to learn how to be alone yet not lonely.
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 devotionals)
