TOPIC: GOD'S GIFT
TEXT: 2TIMO. 1: 7
Top of the day to you,as you kick off this weekend, you will not be stranded in the name of the Lord.
The great hindrance of usefulness in the increase of our gifts is slavish fear. Apostle Paul therefore warned Timothy against this false evidence appearing real.
God hath not given us the Spirit of fear.
It was through this spirit of fear that the wicked servant buried his talent, and did not trade with it (Matt. 25:25).
Now God has therefore armed us against the spirit of fear, by often bidding us not to fear. Fear not the face of man, fear not the dangers you may meet with in the way of your duty. God has delivered us from the spirit of fear, and has given us the spirit of power, and spirit of love, and spirit of a sound mind as lifetime gifts. These three major spirits must be at work in your life if you will make notable progress in grace life.
The spirit of power, or of courage and resolution to encounter difficulties and dangers. Power to tread upon the lion(Ps. 91:13), a defensive power (Mark 16:18) and power to speak the word of grace (Act 1:8).
The spirit of love towards God, which will carry us through the opposition we may meet with. As Jacob made nothing of the hard service he was to endure for Rachel, the spirit of love to God will set us above the fear of man, and all the hurts that a man can do to us. It is only via the spirit of love that we can be recognized as His disciples (John 13:35). Love to God and the lost souls of men must inflame every son of God in all their day to day worship service (Rm.5:5)
The spirit of a sound mind, or quietness of mind, a peaceable mind. This spirit of sound mind help those who have expressed their faith in Christ to demonstrate self control, and confidently proclaim the word of truth that set the captive free.
Beloved, you can not be effective in your ministry or daily Christian living without the operation of the Spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind.
Personal Confession: Father, I receive grace for the operation of the Spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind in my life in Jesus name.
Read, Reflect, and Rebroadcast to bless someone. God bless you.
