O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY SUNDAY 1ST DECEMBER 2024.
Do you realize you’re a witness to your generation? The Lord Jesus said in Acts 1:8, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” You’re His witness to all those who are connected to you: your co-workers, family members, and those in your neighbourhood or estate where you live. The Gospel has been committed to you for their salvation.
The Bible says in 1 Timothy 1:11, “According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.” Paul said the Gospel was committed to his trust. It’s the same with you. You’ve been entrusted with the Gospel. The same message that saved your life has been committed to your trust.
Now, you ought to use that same Gospel to bring salvation to others. That’s what success is. You become a fruit-producing branch. Jesus said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5).
Paul said to Timothy, “…keep that which is committed to thy trust…” (1 Timothy 6:20). That term committed is from an interesting Greek word, “parakatathéké” which means “a deposit.” This means a deposit has been made; something has been given to your trust. Now you’re going to use that investment of your personality.
You’re like a bag of seeds; the deposits in you are seeds of the Kingdom that you plant in other people. That’s your number one job. If you give utmost attention to it, everything else will fall into place. Remember the words of Jesus: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33).
The things that the Gentiles seek after will be added to you if you seek the expansion of God’s Kingdom first. Remember, you’re representing the Kingdom, and now, the Kingdom is working in your behalf. Be sure to witness to someone about Jesus Christ. We’re having Reach Out World Day tomorrow; give at least one person in your sphere of contact a copy of Rhapsody of Realities, and see the Kingdom of God expand through you.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for entrusting me with the precious Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. I recognize the responsibility and honour it is to be a witness to my generation. My life is a testament to your love and grace, producing lasting fruit for your Kingdom. Thank you for the privilege to serve and represent this glorious Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Mark 16:15 – And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Acts 26:14-18: And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; 17 Delivering thee from the people, and [from] the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 18 To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
