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.

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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
