“MOTIVATE AND ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER FOR CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD!”

Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because of your youth; on the contrary, set the believers an example in your speech, behaviour, love, trust, and purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12)

Let no one despise or think less of you because of your youth, but be an example and pattern for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

CHRISTIAN MOTIVATION

Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth towards mankind. The bible will not be a dry book to you beloved if you know the Author.

Yes! Other books in this universe provide information but my bible the ever living Word of God provides transformation.
Remember, the bible did not promise loaves for the loafer. Glory to Jesus.

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY MOTIVATION?

We Mean Those Factors That Induce, Cause, Instigate or Influence Us To Continue Our Godly Walk And Godly Deeds Or Righteous Acts In Christ Jesus.

WHAT ARE THESE FACTORS?

A GODLY ROLE MODEL (1 Corinthians 11:1 / 4:16 / Hebrews 6:12 / Ephesians 5:1-2)

Christ Jesus is our example to follow in all aspects. Holiness, prayer life, compassion, mercy and love, etc.

Apostle Paul in his humility (1 Timothy 1:12-16) and devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ and his calling set us an example too. We must understand the values of God and His calling upon our lives.

We must be consistent to what we believe without fear and doubt.
We must exercise our Christ given freedom without intimidation.
We must learn to do the right thing for the right person at the right time for the glory of God.

BUILD POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS
(Isaiah 62:10 / 57:14)

People do not want to know how much we know but they want to know how much we care. Always show appreciation and encouragement towards people and work well done.

Avoid playing favouritism (2 Chronicles 19:7 / Acts 10:34-35)
Avoid hurling unjust criticisms.
Eliminate divide and rule policy.
Avoid politicking issues, trying to bring mountains out of mole hills.

BE A GOAL SETTER (Jeremiah 29:11-13)

A goal is a dream with a direction.
A goal has a deadline, which means it has a time limit with a plan of action.
Goals should be slightly out of reach but not out of sight.

Remember that goal’s success is not ultimately measured by how high one has gone up in life or in our aspirations,
but how many times we bounce back when we fall down. (Proverbs 24:16-18 / Micah 7:8 / Habakkuk 3:17-19)

The important ingredient in the formula of success is to know how to get along with people.

In fact, we were called to live this way, because Christ also suffered in our place, leaving us His example for us to follow.

Everybody shout, “THANK YOU, JESUS!”

Sabbath shalom and good morning.
