Never Miss The Bullseye

Happy Sunday everyone,

My emphasis lately has been on how we could identify the true message of Christ from the wrong teachings which many churches today receive. There are churches which they unknowingly deviate from the truth, but Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:15, which says, “Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analysing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.” AMP. What this means is that, the ordained leaders of churches are to be very sound in the Word of God, thus always focused on the Truth and not deviating, not even an inch, it is with this form of stability that they pass the message of Truth to the church, because it is very easy for the Truth to be adulterated. The question now is to know what led Apostle Paul to write this verse. In order to find out, I’ll take a look at 2 Timothy 2 from verse 1 down to 15, to get a clearer picture for proper edification.

Using the Amplified version, verse 1 and 2 of 2 Timothy 2 says, “SO YOU, my son, be strong (strengthened inwardly) in the grace (spiritual blessing) that is [to be found only] in Christ Jesus. And the [instructions] which you have heard from me along with many witnesses, transmit and entrust [as a deposit] to reliable and faithful men who will be competent and qualified to teach others also.” What Paul meant here was that first of all as Timothy had received the undiluted Word of God (the Truth) which is ONLY found in Jesus Christ, he should transmit the exact message of Truth to faithful men who are competent and qualified to teach others.

Apostle Paul emphasised on the fact that Timothy shouldn’t just ordain teacher anyhow, but he should ensure that those whom he would ordain are people who properly understood the Word of Truth properly without any flaws. The essence was because if this isn’t done, the message would be adulterated and when they also want to pass the message forward would do the same and the message would just get adulterated more and more till the Truth is lost completely, this was and still is the reason why any minister of Christ must be well grounded on the foundation, who is Jesus Christ and the benefits of His resurrection in our lives and its importance would eventually deviate from the truth.

Log on next time as I continue to explain chapter 2 of the second letter of Apostle Paul to Timothy.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
