Daily Words of Encouragement
By Priest Knight Scopas Juma Kamonde
Our Verse of Today (26/11/2017)
“As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to
live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge
you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.” (1 Thessalonians 4: 1)
The Title of Our Today’s Topic: Advancement in Doing God’s Things
The previous verse was addressed by Apostle Paul to the Christians of
Thessalonica as part of his first message to them.
From our verse of today we can learn
these very important and valuable points:
1. Apostle
Paul had done his level best to instruct the Christians of Thessalonica so as
to live according to the teachings of the Holy Bible in order to please God.
2. Of course
the Christians of Thessalonica had done their level best also in order to be
committed to God’s will and indeed they had succeeded in that as Apostle Paul
conformed in this verse.
3. Nevertheless
Apostle Paul didn’t stop in that level but he had urge them to keep on doing
what they had been doing more and more.
My dear fellow Christians in general and Churches’ leaders in
particular, let us learn the following points out of our verse of today:
1. It is not
enough for God’s servants just to deliver God’s word to people so that they can
hear only but they must instruct them in order to live according to the
teachings of the Holy Bible in their daily lives.
2. Unless
God’s servants see the practical implementation of God’s word in the lives of
their followers or God’s people whom they have preached and taught by God’s
word, it means that they failed to do God’s will concerning His plan of new
life for His people.
3. In case
God’s servants or Churches’ leaders see some fruits of success in the lives of
God’s people whom they have served, let them not just to joy and thank God for
that but they must keep on doing their level best in order to let God’s people
keep on living according to God’s will throughout their lives.
