1 Thessalonians 2:11-12
For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
WORD:
There is one thing for sure, our salvation is determined by God but our heavenly awarded crowns are determined by how effectively we executed God’s will and purpose for our lives. That is to say we have a say. This scripture was a reminder of how the elders dealt with the young and growing church. It was an exhibition of love for man and for God: an embodiment of the 10 Commandments. You are a leader in your circles and must look for every opportunity to turn the hearts of men to God through actions, deeds and kindness. Let your light shine before men.
PRAYER:
Let my life conform to the dictates of heaven and grant me the grace to be humble and obedient to you will. Let my life serve you O Lord and let me be worthy in thy sight, In Jesus’ name I pray.
