TOPIC: BLESSINGS AND CURSE, TRACEABLE TO CHARACTER 1: Character Brings Blessings
MEMORY VERSE:
3 John 2.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
BIBLE READING:
3 John 1:1-8
1 The Elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth:
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
3 For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers,
6 who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well,
7. because they went forth for His name’s sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth.
Believers love this portion of the Bible so much but never made a study of the verses before and after it. Gaius, An Elder in the vine yard of God, received this blessings from Apostle John the beloved. It wasn’t a verse for everyone as we will discover during this study.
John the Beloved, heard the report of Gaius. How he welcome strangers, hosted them, fed them and met all their needs during their stay with him. Those ministers went back to John the Beloved, with positive result, and this report made him pronounce this blessings on Gaius as follow;
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
What will your parents, ministers, colleague say about you? Will they pray for you this way? What is your character saying about you? Can someone introduce you with your character?
When next you quote this verse, always remember that, it’s a product of character not just a prayer, do you deserve the prayers according to your character?
Good Morning And God Bless You.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
