DISTRIBUTE AND COMMUNICATE

Text : 1 Timothy  6:18  

 *That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;* 

Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, giving him instruction for the rich. The word rich and poor can sometimes be a relative terms. If you can afford a very good school for your children in your neighborhood, clothe your children nicely, pay your bills, live in a three bedroom apartment, with a car, and you can afford three square meal in a day. By this description, your "gateman"  will call you a rich man. To him, you are a rich man. Meanwhile, you are just a junior officer working with a multinational company. 

What would your employer call you then? I am not sure your employer would refer to you as a rich man.

This goes to say that being poor is a relative term. 
So, when God's word says charge them that are rich in this world to be rich in good works, ready to distribute and willing to communicate. Do not be tempted to think outside of yourself. You are also a rich person to many. You have something to distribute and communicate. 

As we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season, you should know that you are not exempted from being a blessing to people around you. There is always someone below your ladder that you can reach out to. Make up your mind to reach out to people under your ladder today and all through this season. These are the ones who will receive your gift as an answer to their prayer. 

 *Showing God's love to people in this season only reminds them of the reason for the season.* It would however be more glorious if you can consistently show God's love to your neighborhood on a continuous basis. This will always engrave the essence of Christ's coming in their hearts.

Bible Reading: 
Philippians 4:14-18

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, help me to deny self and daily carry my cross and follow you. 

2. Lord, help me to keep my focus on Christ's image as my goal in life in Jesus name.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...
