DEVOTION ~ BE A GENTLE SERVANT

-




Theme: Be a Gentle Servant
Text: 2 Timothy 2:24
24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient



In yesterday's devotion, we learned that we must stay clear from endless disputes. The text for today admonishes us on how we ought to live as servants of the Most High God. The servant of God must not be quarrelsome as it will hinder your path of godliness. A quarrelsome soul cannot evangelize the Word because it won't be taken seriously by those who know him. We must, therefore, embrace gentleness so that we can deal with all people and circumstances wisely. A gentle spirit guides our utterances and makes us exemplary to others. It automatically opens the door for us to teach others to walk the talk of faith. It also extinct every anxiousness in us making us willing to wait patiently on the Lord in all things. Be a gentle servant of God so that the Gospel can reach the end of the earth. 



Let us Pray: Almighty God, take far from me the spirit of haughtiness and anxiety. Please breathe Your gentle Spirit in me so that I shall be gentle to all, teach others, and wait patiently for Your will to be done in my life. This I ask in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

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!"
