Text* 2 Timothy 2:24.

A servant of the Lord must not argue. Instead, he must be kind to everyone, teachable, _and_ willing to suffer wrong..."

There are certain things a child of God should never be found doing, and one of them is engaging in unnecessary arguments.

On several occasions,(in one chapter alone), Apostle Paul warned believers about the danger of arguments. In 2 Timothy 2:14 he said, “Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, but to the ruin of the hearers.” 

In other words, arguments over words do not produce anything profitable; rather, they damage those who listen.

Again in verse 16, he advises us to *avoid pointless discussions, because such conversations only lead people further into ungodliness.* What often begins as a simple debate can easily become a breeding ground for pride, anger, and strife.

Paul continues in verses 23-24 saying, “Do not have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the servant of the Lord must not argue but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, patient when wronged.”
This instruction is very clear. As servants of God, our calling is not to win arguments but to reflect Christ in character. 

Instead of arguing, we are expected to show kindness, humility, patience, and a willingness to teach with a gentle spirit.

The truth is that situations will always arise that may tempt you to argue. People may misunderstand you, misrepresent you, or even treat you unfairly. Yet the instruction remains the same: avoid pointless arguments.

Sometimes you may even have to endure injustice or suffer wrong simply to keep away from pointless arguments. It may not always feel comfortable, but it preserves your godliness and protects your testimony.

Many arguments may seem justified at the moment, but when they are over, you often realize they produced no real benefit. Instead, they leave behind hurt, pride, and damage.

As a servant of the Lord, choose a higher path. Choose kindness over contention, patience over wrath, and wisdom over unnecessary debates.

 *Let your words bring peace, not strife- avoid pointless arguments.* 

 *Bible Reading* 

2 Timothy 2:11-26.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father Lord, I receive the grace and wisdom to shun pointless arguments and represent Christ in all meekness and loneliness of heart 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 portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
