“12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, conversation, in charity, in spirit, in FAITH…”

Faith is the mind set; heart reasoning to connect and walk with God. Without Faith, God is not accessible.

Today, being the last working day of the week, God will make us smile before the day runs out in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

The difference between a believer and an unbeliever is Faith that God exist, that He has a Son called Jesus, the HOLY SPiRIT is the trinity. Having this in mind, makes you walk freely that you serve a God who is all encompassing. Your believe that Jesus came, died and resurrected makes you a believer, which in turns repel others to believe the faith you and I have. This same faith is what gives us access to God, according to Hebrews, “… For without faith, it is impossible to see God.” Hebrews 11:6.

As Christians we are called to live by faith in order to show others that Jesus is the son of God and the access to God. Our confession of Faith should go beyond words to the level of healing the sick, raising the dead and bringing glory to God. Our faith in God should be seen in the face of trials and tribulations, rejection and opposition. We are to live as an example with our faith, not just in words but also in act. Our walk in Faith with God reveals Him the more to the unbelieving world around us. Are we living by example with our Faith?

Good Day and God bless you.

“12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, conversation, in charity, in SPIRIT…”

The life of a believer should not be lived in carnality but living in and by the spirit of God. 

May the Spirit of God,as at the creation, move over our life to achieve what we are created for in Jesus name, Amen.

To be called a believer is to be called the “Son of God”, and without the spirit of God, we can’t be a genuine believer. To live in the spirit simply means being led by the spirit of God. The spirit of God is the reason for easiness for believers, a good example of a believer is one who is led by the spirit in all ways. 

Apostle Paul said in Romans 8:13-14,

“13. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”

“14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

Believers who still live by the flesh aren’t an example to the world, we are to mortify the flesh, subdue the flesh to live by the Spirit of God, then can we be led and live in spirit in order to be an example to the world. Have we surrendered to the Spirit of God wholly? Do we live by the spirit? Then, can we be called an example of the believer who lives in the Spirit? To win others to Christ we have to be obedient to the spirit at all times. I pray today, that grace to submit totally to the leading of the spirit rest upon us all in Jesus name, Amen.

Good Day and God bless you.

“12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, conversation, in CHARITY…”

The core attribute of a believer is Charity – LOVE, without love every other attributes can’t attract God.

Those ordained to do us good will remember us, locate us, and release those favour this week in Jesus name, Amen.

Let us read these verses together, 

1 Corinthians 13:1-4

“1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.”

“2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.”

“3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.”

“4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,”

Without Christ in us this love cannot exist in human. These are the result of love that a believer should possess. Jesus our Lord summarised all the laws in to two when he said in, Mark 12:29-31, 

“29. And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:”

“30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”

“31. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.”

Without love, then no proof as a believer. Until we show love that’s when the difference will be noticed. Love conquers all things according to the word of the Lord. Therefore, we believers should be an example by showing love even to our enemies. Love is the greatest of all virtue. Are we loving as God wants us to love? Can unbelievers experience our love?

Good Day and God bless you.

“12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, CONVERSATION…”

Our discussion in public should easily define the circle we belong as believers, not until we mention the name of Jesus.

May the strength, wisdom and grace to function rightly today rest upon us all in Jesus wonderful name, Amen.

“But be thou an example of the believers, in word, CONVERSATION…”. We discussed about words among believers reflecting Jesus, it shouldn’t end in our circle, we are to spread it to the unbelieving world, in our discussions at home and especially out of church. Our conversations should easily inform others the circle we belong. Our words at the market place should make people call us believers. It’s a pity today, in the name of wisdom, that many believer’s conversation is against Christ’s kingdom, speaking against ministers and the church of Christ while they claim to be believers. Your conversation out there should have a lot of impart on the unbelievers hearing you not discouraging them the more.

When our conversation weakens, discourage and disgust others, we’re not showing an example of believers. When unbelievers can’t call us with an assurance of words of wisdom or comfort, we are not showing a good example. When we are being avoided because our conversation doesn’t give strength, hope or solution, then we aren’t potraying the believer that Jesus died for. 

Apostle Peter said,

1 Peter 1:15

“But as he which hath called you is holy, So Be Ye Holy In All Manner Of Conversation;”

Our conversation should reflect holiness, purity, encouragement and strength to others, with these, unbelievers can be attracted to serving your God because the aim of being an example of believers is to draw men to God. Our discussions need to give salt to other’s life not bitterness. 

Good Day and God bless you.

“12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, …”

Our words defines us beyond who we claim to be. Believer’s Words speaks volume.

This week, the works of your hand shall prosper, yield profit, bring increase to foot your bills and for your dream till accomplishment in Jesus Mighty, Name, Amen.

“…, But be thou an example of the believers, in word,”. In continuation of Apostle Paul’s word to Timothy and all believers, He specifically listed how to take our stand in order not to be despised. He made it known that, there are words that proofs we are believers. There should be difference in the words of believers and unbelievers. Our words should reflect Christ rather than the world. It should change from when we belong to the pattern of the world. We should taste our words before spilling it out to knew if it will build or break others. The weight and effect of our word should prove to others that, we are Christians, (believers of Christ).

If I may ask, how is our communication to other believers, does it portray us as believers? Can’t the word make others despise us and God in us? As believers, can other believers imitate our words and still make it to heaven? What about the words we speak In our homes, how does it reflect who we are to our children and spouse, a believer or an unbeliever? Apostle Paul’s word was to the believers first before unbelievers. Our words as believers should be what other believers emulate not the words that brings confusion in Christianity. “Be thou an example of the believers, in word, …”, We need to show an example to all believers that we are one and united in our words.

Good Day and God bless you.

“12. Let no man despise thy youth;…”

Self Esteem is different from pride and low self esteem. Self Esteem is knowing who you are, what you are capable of but not glorying over it.

This week, keep reminding God that uncompleted dreams, work towards it and God will give you breakthrough in Jesus name, Amen.

This week we shall focus on the works of Apostle Paul to Timothy, his beloved spiritual son. Timothy was a young servant who was assigned to shepherd the flock of God who are younger and older than him. The congregation included widows, fathers, mothers, youth and children and it was expected of him to relate with them all regardless of his age and knowledge but by the Holy Spirit. Same instructions we all need in our daily endeavours. Today, we shall focus on Apostle Paul’s word which says, “Let no man despise thy youth;…”. Reading through this word in the Bible, there may be a lot of meaning attached by different believers. This message was directed to Timothy not to loose His leadership responsibility because of his age to those he was leading. It was expected of him to relate with the congregation with the ability of God in him and not by his age. Apostle Paul wasn’t talking about pride, arrogance or being unteachable like many leaders we have in and out of the church today. “Let no man despise thy youth;…” talks about humility, self esteem, self confidence in what you are called to do. It doesn’t mean you should boss it over those you are leading either younger or older than you do. It’s not a criteria to take advantage of others, make others inferior or kill their self esteem, No. Not for you to become unapproachable but to respectfully make use of your calling, gifts and talents to unite your followers.

Let no one look down on you isn’t a reason to look down on your spouse because you have an advantage over him or her or your pastor because of his or her age. Yes, you being wealthy isn’t the reason to look down on those who depend on you. But let no one see you as a nobody, who isn’t fit for what you have been called to do. Show the proof of what you’re assigned to do, that’s what Paul meant, not to be proud and use your power over others. “Let no man despise thy youth, means earn the respect of others through diligence in what you do. This is one of the instructions of Apostle Paul to Timothy then which is applicable to you and I today.

Good Day and God bless you.

“15. And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:”

“16. And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.”

Nothing is as wasteful as poor time management and fruitless labour. When God leads, there’s no wastage.”

Today, it’s my prayer that every wasted time, resources, effort and seasons will be restore back in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

Elijah travelled on foot for forty days and forty night, and was told to go back to where he came from, that’s another forty days and forty night journey, why? All because he put God aside before the journey. That journey of yours wouldn’t have been so tedious if you had involved God. If you have controlled that fear you would have gotten to your location long enough. Now, you have to go back the same way you came but this time around not for full resources. Elijah was to go back to anoint his replacement for not involving God initially. Oh, you are thinking of the shame of going back? 

I once heard a true life story of a lady who went to a night club for the first time some days to her engagement and ended up getting drunk and was impregnated. She never knew until the day of engagement when her in-law observed that she was pregnant and the engagement was cut off. Sixteen years later they got marriage again, why? Since they went their separate ways, their lives were frustrating. What they would have settled and moved on took them sixteen wasted year before they came l together. Don’t be afraid to turn back. No amount of wrong steps can lead you back to the right step until you turn back. Go back to your call. Go back to that assignment, that marriage, that work you left due to pride and arrogance, it’s time to humble yourself and go back. God is saying go back to where you came from and put things right. Where and what do you need to work on? Forty days into the wildernesses wasn’t a small journey but it worth going back.

Good Day and God bless you.

“8. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.”

“9. And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?”

It’s very important for believers to know where we ought to be according to God’s plans for our lives.

I pray for everyone this morning, we will not miss our rightful place in Jesus name. May we locate our rightful position and possess it by the power in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Recap of our study this week. Jezebel threatened Elijah and he fled for fear of a woman. Left his servant who could have reminded him of the God he serve. While running away, The Angel of the Lord fed him twice which signifies favour and provision from God. Now, forty days after God was asking him, “What are you doing here? Who sent you to this place? Is this where I placed you? What’s your mission here? Who is in charge of the flock you are to shepherd? The same question to someone out there, God is asking, The family you left behind who is taking care of them? That woman and children you left behind to be with that mysterious woman who is fathering them? The marriage you left, separated and divorced from, are you through with your assignment over there? God is asking everyone this morning, “What are you doing here now, did I send you to minister in the cave? That ministry you left behind, are you through with your calling over there? Like Hagar, who told you to leave where you are assigned to be? What are you doing where you are right now?

This morning, this message is for all to answer. Where are we regardless of the enjoyment, finances, breakthrough and love we think we are enjoying? God is asking us, is that our placement? I know you have an answer like Elijah did, he said to God?

“10. And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.” 1 Kings 19:10.

May i tell you today that your complaint doesn’t move God. The reason you left was because you never consulted God, and if you did, you didn’t listen to hear what He would say, and lastly if you did heard Him, you never followed what He instructed you to do. Where are you? Where are mine? That’s God’s question to us all that needs an answer.

Good Day and God bless you.

“5. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.”

“6. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.”

“7. And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.”

“8. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.”

God is meeting our needs isn’t a prove that we are on the right side of His will. Be watchful.

May we not take God’s grace over our life as a prove to keep disobeying Him in Jesus name, Amen.

Many Christians, including men of God thinks, the grace to teach, preach and perform signs and wonders is a proof of being in God’s will for their lives. Many has left God behind but still operate in the gift of God over there lives, not remember His calling and gift are without repentance. Many leaders in the household of faith thinks God isn’t affected by their ways of lives that’s way they enjoy the grace to minister effectively and people still falls under the anointing while in sin. Sir’s and Ma’s, God isn’t happy with you, He is taking time to see if you will take the right step and walk back to Him. If you know you are on the path not according to God’s leading, please it’s time to turn back to Him.

Elijah was fed by angel twice, that would have been a prove that God was with him and supported his desire to run from Jezebal but that was a big NO. Every situation that presented itself before the children of God is an opportunity to showcase God not to disappoint Him. That situation can’t be bigger and stronger than God. Don’t be carried away by the miracle, and signs and wonders you’re receiving, always check yourself if you are still with the Lord. Don’t be over confident, check your heart and be sure you are still walking in His will for your life. Elijah thought he was still pleasing God not knowing he left God behind since.

Good Day and God bless you.
