TODAY I MUST STATE OUR LIVES CARNALLY AND ESPECIALLY ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL, WOULD BE MUNDANE AND EMPTY WITHOUT OUR DAILY TRIALS!

WE ARE SHOWN AND INSTRUCTED THAT OUR MOST PRODUCTIVE ADVANCEMENTS COME AS THE RESULT OF TEMPTATIONS, TRIALS, AND TRIBULATIONS!

Romans 5:3-5 KJV
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; [4] And patience, experience; and experience, hope: [5] And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

HOWEVER, TO RECEIVE AND INCORPORATE THESE TOOLS, THEY ARE  ONLY AVAILABLE,  IF WE HEAR AND LIVE YAHEWA’S WORDS AS PART OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD! OFFERING A FULL SURRENDERED COMMITMENT! THE DAYS ARE UPON US WHEN WE WILL SEE WHO IS TRULY COMMITTED!

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION!

2 Timothy 4:3 NLT
For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.

COMMENTARY OFFERED BY MATTHEW HENRY (1662-1714).

“Be instant in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort; do this work with all fervency of spirit. Call upon those under thy charge to take heed of sin, to do their duty: call upon them to repent, and believe, and live a holy life, and this both in season and out of season.

In season, when they are at leisure to hear thee, when some special opportunity offers itself of speaking to them with advantage. Nay, do it out of season, even when there is not that apparent probability of fastening something upon them, because thou dost not know but the Spirit of God may fasten upon them; for the wind bloweth where it listeth; and in the morning we must sow our seed, and in the evening not withhold our hand!”  Ecclesiastes 11:6.

OBSERVATION!

We must tell people of their faults: “Reprove them, rebuke them.

Convince wicked people of the evil and danger of their wicked courses. Endeavour, by dealing plainly with them, to bring them to repentance. Rebuke them with gravity and authority, in Christ’s name, that they may take thy displeasure against them as an indication of God’s displeasure!”

COMMENTARY OFFERED BY MATTHEW HENRY (1662-1714).

A minister’s work has various parts: he is to preach the word, to reprove, rebuke, and exhort.

“He is to be very diligent and careful; he must be instant in season and out of season; he must spare no pains nor labour, but must be urgent with them to take care of their souls and their eternal concerns. He must watch in all things!”

“Seek an opportunity of doing them a kindness; let no fair occasion slip, through thy negligence. Watch to thy work; watch against the temptations of Satan, by which thou mayest be diverted from it; watch over the souls of those who are committed to thy charge!” 

He must count upon afflictions, and endure them, make the best of them, endure patiently!”

“Be not discouraged by the difficulties thou meetest with, but bear them with an evenness of spirit. Inure thyself to hardships.”

He must remember his office, and discharge its duties: Do the work of an evangelist. The office of the evangelist was, as the apostles’ deputies, to water the churches that they planted.

They were not settled pastors, but for some time resided in, and presided over, the churches that the apostles had planted, till they were settled under a standing ministry. This was Timothy’s work.

OBSERVATION!

The importance of being within the Remnant now plays itself forward!

“There will be those who will heap to themselves corrupt teachers, and will turn away their ears from the truth; and therefore secure as many as you can, so, when these storms and tempests do arise, they may be well established, and their apostasy prevented!”

People must hear, and disciples must share, for the time to come, and guard against the mischiefs that are likely to arise.

They will turn away their ears from the truth; they will grow weary of the old plain gospel of Christ, and then they will be greedy for fables, and take pleasure in them, and God will give them up to those strong delusions, because they received not the truth in the love of it, 2 Thessalonians 2:11,12.

“When labourers are removed from the vineyard, this is not the time to loiter for those left behind, but to double their diligence. The fewer hands there are to work the more industrious those hands must be that are at work.” 

Paul says I have done the work of my day and generation, so in like manner do the work of your day and generation!

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa. And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen in the name of Jehovah Jireh our provider of all things righteous and Holy!
