ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Tuesday June 11th, 2024.

Topic : Be An Encourager.

Memory Verse :‭ Philippians 1:8. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

Bible Reading : ‭Philippians 1:9-11 NIV‬. Key Verse : v11.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

Apostle Paul had a very good working relationship with the Philippian Church which he founded during his second missionary journey. Paul was so exceptional on the assignment that he cared for the body of Christ from the prison. He didn’t allow what he passed through to weaken his resolve in the Lord, neither could they slow him down on the assignment. From prison he solicited for prayers in order to be able to reach out to as many as God wanted him to. “Be faithful to pray as intercessors who are fully alert and giving thanks to God. And please pray for me, that God will open a door of opportunity for us to preach the revelation of the mystery of Christ, for whose sake I am imprisoned. Pray that I would unfold and reveal fully this mystery, for that is my delightful assignment.” Colossians 4:2-4 TPT.

The Philippian church on their own was a very caring set of believers. They stood by Apostle Paul when he needed them most, not only with their prayers, but also with their substance. Their behaviour towards him made him to give them a special placement in his heart and he prayed God increase the depths of their revelation in Christ so that they could serve and give more selflessly to kingdom assignment. “You’ve so graciously provided for my essential needs during this season of difficulty. For I want you to know that the Philippian church was the only church that supported me in the beginning as I went out to preach the gospel. You were the only church that sowed into me financially, and when I was in Thessalonica, you supported me for well over a year. I mention this not because I’m requesting a gift, but so that the fruit of your generosity may bring you an abundant reward.” Philippians 4:14-17 TPT.

This end time the Lord wants the Church of Jesus Christ to pick lessons of practical love for one another from the Philippian church. We need to discern the need of fellow believers, especially those going through trying times or serious persecution around us and in distant places. We can always lift them up in our prayers. Not only that, as much as we have opportunity our financial or material support will go a long way to encourage and sustain them. Infact, every believer needs an encourager especially in difficult and trying times. One of the fruits of righteousness the Spirit demands from the body of Christ in our days is to look beyond our territories to care, support and encourage others as much as we have the ability. ‭”“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”” John 13:34-35.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for making me part of your kingdom on earth. From today, help me to live to be an encourager of other men, especially believers at any capacity you place me per time in the kingdom. Let my life bless and lift others to serve you better in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Luke 2:21-40.
