1 Timothy 5:21(ESV)
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without prejudging, doing nothing from partiality.
Paul, called as a preacher and an Apostle of Christ Jesus for the preaching of the gospel and perfecting of the saint wrote to the church in his script to his son Timothy concerning elders in the church. Elders in the local church must be reproofed whenever wrong. Orderliness is one key factor that establishes the church of God.
As an elder or one called into a position in the church, you represent Christ in your local church. Paul makes us understand that dealing with the elders is a solemn thing before God. Hence he charged Timothy before God to carry out such a mandate to see God’s mandate established among His redeemed.
Beloved, the Bible writes that:for all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” As a child of God, do not entertain the works of the flesh in luring you to walk out of God’s will as His able minister. The Lord grant you grace and mercy to triumph in victory all the days of your life. Be blessed!!!
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, fix my eyes on you and grant me the grace to impact souls in the church for the expansion of the ministry on earth in Jesus. Amen.
