Exhortations from 2 Timothy…

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. …nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto ?Him against that day. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us: If we believe not, yet He abides faithful: He cannot deny Himself. (2 Timothy 1:7, 2 Timothy 1:12, 2 Timothy 2:11-13).

 

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure (perhaps) will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 2:15, 2 Timothy 2:24-26, 2 Timothy 3:16-17).

 

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables...2 Timothy 4:1-4.

 

Prayer

Please open our eyes and hearts so we may see the truth and be converted and give us ears to hear the truth and meet our soul’s deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time... And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest (made known) in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory... This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief...(1 Timothy 2:5-6, 1 Timothy 3:16, 1 Timothy 1:15).

 

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life... But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment (clothing) let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows…1 Timothy 6:17-19, 1 Timothy 6:6-10.

 

It is written…Then Peter (an Apostle of Jesus) said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call...Acts 2:38-39.

 

Is God calling you rich or poor…have you been baptized and received the Holy Spirit of promise…yes or no? For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ...Galatians 3:27.

 

Prayer

Father please meet our souls’ deepest needs and heal our body, spirit and soul wounds…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief...1 Timothy 1:15. And He spoke this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if He lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until He find it? And when He hath found it, He lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when He cometh home, He calls together His friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with Me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance...Luke 15:3-7.


What is repentance…it is 180-degree turn around…a turning from self to God…from lies to truth…from self to Jesus. It is a change in behavior…a change in direction…a change of mind that results in right deed…righteousness. Then Jesus said to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, then are you My disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...John 8:31-32. How many of us do not even read His word…to know what He has said on the matter…to have thus it is written for the actions of ourselves?


Are you sanctified through baptism…have you been baptized into Christ’s death burial and resurrection…yes or no? Baptism puts you into Christ…a repentant life keeps you in Christ…are you remaining faithful to your commitments to Jesus…and the Father…yes or no?


…I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day...2 Timothy 1:12.


Prayer

Father please meet our soul’s deepest need for repentance and faith in Your only Son Jesus…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
