1 TIMOTHY 4:1-5...
SOLEMN CHARGE
1/ I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingly power:
2/ proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.
3/ For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers
4/ and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths.
5/ But you, be self-possessed in all circumstances; put up with hardship; perform the work of an evangelist; fulfill your ministry...
VERY important message, and, one which I, take seriously! There ARE times when things seem to be in the way of sticking to the path, and, in the way of sharing THE WORD, but, I have, stuck to it, for one, major reason; *GOD* does NOT take time off from us, HE is ALWAYS near, and, ever working on our behalf, therefore, to honour HIM, I strive to be constant, and, consistent, in my work, in HIS name!!!
My eyes are upon THE WORD, EVERY single day of my life, and, that involves deeper studies of said WORD! I WANT to KNOW as much as my humanness will allow for, that I can better understand the world, how to aid it, as well as, how to drive out the opposition, when it is pressing in!!!
I have said repeatedly, and, will continue to do so; THERE IS SAFETY, SECURITY, and, FREEDOM IN THE WORD of *GOD*! So, why wouldn't I seek what I most need, and, that which WILL enhance my life???
*GOD* SO LOVES us, that HE devised a perfect plan for us to survive this world, arise from this world, and, find PEACE, and, comfort IN HIM! It is pure GENIUS that HE foresaw ALL which was to come to us, not only as a society, but, as individuals! I am FASCINATED beyond words, at HIS foresight, insight, and, hindsight; and, I AM EVER GRATEFUL for this, otherwise, we would, truly, be up against a most dangerous enemy!!!
We only have to turn to HIM, in respectful REGARD, IN LOVE, repent, confess JESUS as our SAVIOUR, take up HIS yoke, retain FAITH, LOVE one another, do GOOD, and, STAY IN THE WORD, while, taking that WORD into the world, in, greater capacity than speaking of it, but, by BEING A LIVING EXAMPLE OF IT'S PERFECTION!!!
Walking with *GOD* is not easy, it is full of challenges, but, that is WHY HE says that we should PERSIST, whether it is convenient, or, not; that we are tried, and, proven!!!
May HE ever watch over us, and, KEEP us in HIS WAYS, that HIS WILL, for our lives, is favourable, and, empowering, as we face the world day to day! KEEP on keepin' on, FAITHFULLY, and, sincerely, and, PRAISE *GOD* always!!!
