LEARNING HUMILITY FROM TIMOTHY

Topic: LEARNING HUMILITY FROM TIMOTHY June Tuesday 16th
Text: Philippians 2:19-23
Key verse: “Mark 8:36-37 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”
Timothy with Paul was a son to his father. He was not comparing himself with Paul. He was not comparing his anointing with Paul’s. He was not comparing his popularity with Paul’s. He was not comparing his giftedness with Paul. He was not comparing his calling with Paul’s. No! He was a son to his father. These are the kind of people the Lord is looking for. People the Lord will raise up that will be subject to authority and dead to self for Jesus submitted to Joseph His father until he was thirty years. Joseph was not a minister anyway, but he was head in all family matters. Why did Jesus not jump out of that place and say, “No, I can’t stay here?” Submission was part of the work of God; part of the nature of God; that you submit under another. Aaron submitted to Moses and for that reason he got heaven. The most important thing for you is that you go to heaven. It is not the popularity of your name. It is not that you should be known everywhere.
Therefore, young boy, young girl, you know how to run but you don’t know how to hide, for wisdom is with the ancients. When you see a man with grey hair, that is wisdom. When Daniel talked about seeing the Ancient of days he said his hair was as white as wool. John said the same thing in the book of Revelation. When Jesus appeared to him His hair was as white as wool. That talks of wisdom. Wisdom is with the ancient but children know how to run. We are not training youths to just go and show forth themselves. To go and brag. To go and make noise and scatter things. They will kill you very fast. You will lose your life because pride goes before a fall and a haughty spirit before destruction.
Thought for the day: Humility will advance you in life but pride will bring you down.
Song for the day: Lord I want to be like Jesus inner my heart
Bible reading for the day: Nehemiah 1-3; Acts 2:1-13

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
