Theme: A Royal Can't be Intimidated 
Text: 2 Timothy 1:3-7

3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, 4 greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, 5 when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.


Through Christ Jesus, you are called forth as a chosen generation and a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). You can't be intimidated by anything for you're hundred percent safe in the presence of God. Dear beloved this bond in Christ needs to run through your family line and not just solely you.

The Apostle Paul gave a background of himself and his family's faith in the Lord. In admonishing Timothy, he made it clear how zealous and faithful Lois and Eunice are in the Lord and so Timothy will learn from them. How is your family faring in the issues of God? Joshua said, as for me and my household we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15). Seek the salvation of the members of your household. Pray for them and share the Word of God with them ceaselessly.

To do this effectively, you need to stir up the gift of God which is in you. A close and constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit stirs you up to be conscious of your life and environment. When you are going off track, the Spirit Himself will give you a divine nudging. Take note, the power that rest on you is not the spirit of fear but of power, love and sound mind. This explains that, the power of God gives you victory over very difficulty in life. His love refreshes you at all time to be of sound mind. Walk confidently in faith knowing that, we have the multitude on our side.

Prayer: Abba Father, take hold of my life and instruct me in Your perfect will. Consume every fear out of me and make me bold in my faith even now and forevermore in Jesus name. AMEN!

CHARACTER STUDY ~ APOLLOS

-
Apollos means "one who destroys or a destroyer". He was a New Testament figure who steadily grew to become a servant of Jesus through ministry. He was a staunch Jew.  Some Characteristics of Apollos: √ Apollos was endowed with great knowledge and was very outspoken. In his line of ministry, he exhibited understanding of the old canon and delivered its message boldly.  √ Despite Apollos's eloquence and knowledge, he was only vexed in the baptism of John without the knowledge that the prophecy about the Messiah had already been fulfilled. John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
