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.

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
