Be
very careful in dealing with my Word, and teach what is true. Take time, and do not be lazy but
always eager and able to learn. For I will
give you words and wisdom that will make you wise in dealing with the simple
truth revealed. Learn of me for I am
compassionate in my ways with regard to your circumstance with patience. Do the work of the Evangelist forget somebody just
continue my will and my plans with dedication. Someday you are the son I want you to be, in the presence of those who
persecute and despitefully use you. Never entangle with the pleasures of this
world walk in pace with me, for there is wisdom in wise judgment.www.googleimage.com
Able to teach and gently restore the lost neither condemned nor judge accordingly to the flesh. But with perseverance and desires, snatch others from hell.“Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage --- with great patience and careful instruction.”b Do not deal every circumstance with contempt but rather with exceptional endurance and steadfastness. So that your life here on earth is a life of continuous challenge and struggle in dealing with my Word. Study well with absolute dedication and endurance. That is why I have called and chosen you and put my Spirit in your heart for he will teach you the whole truth. Live by the truth and die for it.
The church name
was revealed to you that will be the name: JESUS
CHRIST CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD, living holy and godly lives. Hold the
banner high that will be the identity of your ministry. A banner of victory
against the enemy for he cannot resist you any longer. Take charge of such
ministry with a sincere motive and a pure heart. Your number will be increased
gradually, and whosoever comes gain more understanding and a change in their lifestyle
will be made known to those who wait and see. Be not discouraged if they are
less in number or downhearted still go on with your ministry faithfully with
humble desires for the truth. For I will multiply in an appointed time. Let the
desires of making disciples press onward and do not ever give up, though it may
break your heart and determination. A truly born-again believer their attitude
changes and becomes more evident to their neighbors and friends. That they are new
creations in Christ Jesus.
Now listen, I tell you the truth anyone who wants to follow
me must deny himself take up his cross and follow me. Nobody is beyond and
above such struggles everyone will undergo the same. To experience struggle is
a sign of victory in the end.
Stand tall, and
be aware that for every struggle the reward awaits in the end. The such reward is
everlasting compared to your struggle only for a moment. Live life in my
direction, obey and do things that please me. Give an ear and see what lies
beyond the struggle even to the point of death. “The
Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we
are children, then heirs --- heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed
we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”c Your
struggle please me and your future is with me be glad that I am in you. I will
be kind and compassionate in making it known to you…even the things to come. So
be ready for your redemption is near.
