“ADONAI IS ABLE TO KEEP WHAT YOU HAVE COMMITTED INTO HIS HANDS TILL HE RETURNS!”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“And this is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed because I know him in whom I have put my trust, and I am persuaded that he can keep safe until that Day what he has entrusted to me.” (2 Timothy 1:12)
The confidence of my calling enables me to overcome every difficulty without shame, for I have an intimate revelation of this God. And my faith in Him convinces me that He is more than able to keep all that I’ve placed in His hands safe and secure until the fullness of His appearing, said Apostle Paul.
APOSTLE PAUL’S TRIALS
Apostle Paul legal trials began about 57 – 60 AD. His first Roman imprisonment was between 60 – 63 AD.
Fourth missionary journey was between 63 – 67 AD. Second Roman imprisonment and martyrdom was between 67 – 68 AD.
Then AD 70 was the destruction of Jerusalem scattering and growth of the church.
Apostle was an effective and successful servant of God. He knew his work was ordained by God. He knew heaven’s resources were behind his ministry.
IN OUR GENERATION
God needs people who will accept the challenge – challenge of Christian leadership.
The challenge of faithful stewardship consecration leads to faithfulness. (Rom 1:14-15/1Cor 9:16/Jer 20:9)
The power of consecration will eliminate the evil appearance of discouragement.
The sense of duty to God will wipe out the influence of regrets for serving God.
God’s word in our heart and the zeal to please Him will make it impossible to stop preaching the gospel. The compassion for people and the sense of divine urgency will compel us to do everything for the gospel.
GEORGE MULLER’S ADVICE
George Muller in his advice to those who desire to know the will of God.
Be slow to take new steps in the Lord’s service or in your business, or in your families.
Weigh everything well; weigh all in the light of the Holy Scriptures and in the fear of God.
Seek to have no will of your own, in order to ascertain the mind of God regarding any step you propose to take so that you can honestly say you are willing to do the will of God, if He will only instruct you.
But when you have found out what the will of God is, seek for His help and seek it earnestly, perseveringly, patiently, believingly, expectantly and you will surely, in His own time and way obtain it.
Beloved know it and understand it now that righteous suffering is part of the ministry for which you are committed to experience for God’s glory.
GOD’S GRACE WILL SEE YOU THROUGH IT ALL IN JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME, AMEN!
Sabbath shalom and good morning.
