Say the Same

2 Timothy 1

14 Keep safe the great treasure that has been entrusted to you, with the help of the Ruach HaKodesh, [HOLY SPIRIT] who lives in us.

In our Text Paul was instructing Timothy to keep safe the great treasure entrusted to him. What was that great treasure?

Let us turn to 2 Corinthians 4, we will find additional light there.

2 Corinthians 4:6-8

6 For it is the God who once said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has made his light shine in our hearts, the light of the knowledge of God’s glory shining in the face of the Messiah Yeshua.
7 But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it will be evident that such overwhelming power comes from God and not from us.

The faith you have that JESUS is the CHRIST; your Savior, the Savior of the world is a GIFT. A most precious gift; a treasure.  Guard your treasure.  Keep the faith!! At ALL cost keep THE FAITH. The HOLY SPIRIT will help you – lean on Him; submit to Him. Words for you. Words for me.

And as Paul was wrapping up the Words given him by the HOLY SPIRIT to write to Timothy and to us, he said:

2 Timothy 4

7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

May we in truth when the time comes, say the same.

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA, for speaking. Thank You for illuminating us. Thank You for giving and preserving Your Word even to this generation. Help us to hid Your Word in our hearts so we will be able to share It with the world in JESUS’ name. 
And as other times we come with our requests for healing(s) of those we name now in our hearts. And we lift all our cares to You and we thank You for providing wisdom, solutions, provisions, and every good and perfect gift we need to do this life well. Thank You, ABBA Father.

Matthew 16:24 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

24 Then Jesus said unto His disciples, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

My beloved and I visited Daphne Methodist Church last night to experience a message in music and drama prepared by the Youth there. And for sure I received a message. Please allow me to share it with you this morning. We were well into the program when these words were sung:

And I’ll, I’ll follow You into the homes of the broken
I’ll follow You into the world
I’ll meet the needs for the poor and the needy, God, I’ll follow You into the world
Read more: LEELAND – FOLLOW YOU LYRICS

The message was clear. It was reassuring. It was encouraging. It was correcting.

I’ll follow You.

We the children (disciples) of JESUS are not alone in this mission of ‘going about doing good’. We are not expected; moreover we are commanded to NOT  answer the knock of ministry opportunities down avenues that HE has not already walked to prepare the way.  HE said FOLLOW ME. Not strike out on your own. Not work yourself into it. Not figure this out and do it. NO.

FOLLOW ME.

I hope you are getting this picture with me. The Savior-King is the LEADER when we go to the homes of the broken. When we go to homeless; the poor and needy; the rich and famous; we are FOLLOWING. I hope this picture comforts you and encourages you and yes corrects you even as it has me. It is a tender, tender Word to the CHURCH; and, yes, perhaps a rebuke – but a tender, sweet one that I dearly treasure.

20 . . . And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age.”

And let me add as I believe it is implied: to the four corners of the earth too.

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA. Thank You, HOLY SPIRIT, for speaking to us; for encouraging us, for correcting us. Thank You, YESHUA, for being our Savior, our King, our Leader, our Teacher; the One who leads. Help us follow. Help us follow You to the people of the world to show them You love them and You are able and willing to give them Life, eternal life.
Thank You, ABBA. Thank You.
