PRICILIA’S SACRIFICE TO THE GOSPEL WORK

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. 

DATE: TUESDAY 11TH JANUARY

TOPIC: PRICILIA’S SACRIFICE TO THE GOSPEL WORK 

TEXT: ROMANS 16:3-4

KEY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 16:19 “The church of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.”

Priscilla listened to Paul and did what he instructed her to do. She sacrificed her house for the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ 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 do. 

The Pharisees built the graves of the prophets and painted them white as a way to show respect but inwardly they practised deceit. They claim that if it were their days they would not have killed the prophets of Israel as did their fathers, but would have treated them nicely and with respect. 

By character, Pharisees are usually self-righteous and pretentious people. Jesus examined their hearts and pronounced woe on them. The Pharisees on several occasions attempted to kill Jesus, the greatest of all prophets. 

Nonetheless, Aquila and Priscilla remain perfect examples of obedient children of God. They demonstrated humility and supported the work of God.

Romans 16:3-4

3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

4 Who have for my life laid down their necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

Paul on behalf of Priscilla and Aquila extended a special salutation to the church of Corinth in an expression of the friendly role they 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 services to the gospel work. He counted them worthy by mentioning their names in the Bible. Priscilla and Aquila were co-workers with Paul and he expressed his gratitude for their commitment. 

Several scriptures mention Priscilla’s name in Paul’s letters due to her total commitment to the gospel work. Priscilla and Aquila accompanied Paul to Ephesus for the gospel assignment. 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 so kind… 

Bible reading for the day: Genesis 27-28; Matthew 9:18-38.

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
