TOPIC: PRISCILLA’S SACRIFICE TO THE GOSPEL WORK         October Friday 18th
TEXT: Romans 16: 3-4
KEY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 16:19 “The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.”
She listened to Paul and did what he instructed her to do. The holy scripture of God shows how Priscilla sacrificed her house for the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in order to reach out to others. There is a blessed reward when you obey and humble yourself to true and genuine ministers of the gospel. Priscilla understood this secret of the gospel without pretending as the Pharisees. The Pharisees build the graves of the prophets and painted them white as a way to show respect but inwardly practice deceit. They claimed that if it were their days they wouldn’t have killed the prophets of Israel as did their fathers. In other words, they would have treated the prophets nicely and with respect. By character, Pharisees are usually self-righteous people with pretending behaviours. Jesus examined their hearts and pronounced woe to them. The Pharisees on several accusations attempted to kill Jesus, the greatest of all prophets. Nonetheless, Aquila and Priscilla still remain perfect examples of obedient children of God. They demonstrated humility and supported the work of God as commended by the Apostle Paul.
Paul on behalf of Priscilla and Aquila extended a special salutation to the church of Corinth in an expression of the friendly role the two spouses played by accommodating the church in their house for the salvation of souls. Paul counted Priscilla and Aquila as worthy, righteous and faithful spouses in their service to the gospel work. He counted them worthy by mentioning their names in the Book of eternity, the Bible. Priscilla and Aquila were co-workers with Paul in the propagation of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul expressed his gratitude of Priscilla and Aquila’s commitment to the gospel work. Several scripture references show that Priscilla’s name appeared first in Paul’s letters due to her total commitment to the gospel work. At one time, Priscilla and Aquila accompanied Paul to Ephesus for gospel work.  They were well mentored by Paul, the apostle.
Thought for the day: There is a blessed reward when you obey and humble yourself to true and genuine ministers of the gospel.
Song for the day: Lord You are so good, Lord You are kind.....
Bible reading for the day:
Isaiah 65-66; 2 Thessalonians 1

KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
