Topic : Take Advantage Of His Gifting.

Memory Verse : 2 Timothy 1:7. For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, his Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control.

2 Timothy 1 :4-6 GNB. Key Verse: v6.

I remember your tears, and I want to see you very much, so that I may be filled with joy. I remember the sincere faith you have, the kind of faith that your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice also had. I am sure that you have it also. For this reason I remind you to keep alive the gift that God gave you when I laid my hands on you.

Timothy was a young man that followed the righteouse paths of his ancestors like Eunice and Lois in serving God with a sincere heart. I want us to understand that as men of the family of God or his kingdom, we have ancestors in the faith whose examplary livestyles we can always follow. Am saying this because some people used to think that our ancestry ends with the people who brought us into the world by physical birth. Though we can’t fault that, but there can always be a switch if need be, especially when our biological ancestors have nothing good to write home about faith wise. We who seek after righteousness therefore have every responsible Bible characters whose lives are worth emulating as our ancestors. “The Lord says, “Listen to me, you that want to be saved, you that come to me for help. Think of the rock from which you came, the quarry from which you were dug. Think of your ancestor, Abraham, and of Sarah, from whom you are descended. When I called Abraham, he was childless, but I blessed him and gave him children; I made his descendants numerous.” Isaiah 51:1-2.

Having said that, we need to understand that grace and mercy of God is a very important investment heaven made in our lives as believers and in hope too. This investment is expected to yield the right dividends unto the kingdom of God through our lives as a harvest. Apostle Paul had this understanding and was trying to open the eyes of Timothy his son in the Lord including ourselves to this truth. In the first place, grace and mercy of God dealth with the burden of sin that makes the lives of men cumbersome. When this burden is taken away, we are able to function without limitations. In making this grace and all that it brings into our lives count, we have to exercise ourselves willingly. We have to take advantage of the Spirit of God and the gifting he brings to bear in our lives to break out of our comfort zone to make our lives count. My Father’s glory is shown by your bearing much fruit; and in this way you become my disciples.” John 15:8.

The gift of God in a man’s life makes power or divine ability available to him. The power of God on its own is given to us for the purpose of witnessing. “Jesus called the twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases. Then he sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick,” Luke 9:1-2. The power of God is that which keeps you beyond the reach of lesser forces so that you can bear rule over them in the real sense of it and in everything you do. This is always revealed in witnessing just like the 70 sent to preach who came back with testimonies of evil spirits being put to flight at the name of Jesus. Beyond preaching, the power of God as an integral part of you helps you function beyond the ability and capacity of an ordinary man by giving you insight into the spirit realm in solving every day problems just like Daniel and Joseph.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because you have invested your grace and spirit in me to give me a change in life. Help me to take full advantage of your investment to impact my generation and live a rewarding earthly life in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : John 15:1-17.
