Live Worthy of the Gospel
Titus lived on Crete, and worked
among a people who had one of
the worst reputations in the world.
Paul had left Titus to oversee the
church & now writes to encourage
him in that difficult task. To promote
sound teaching and offset false
doctrines, Titus is told to appoint
and train spiritual leaders as elders.
Paul’s short letter is a summary of
Christian doctrine that emphasises
holy living and encourages all
to live worthy of the gospel.
Lord, thank You for teaching us
from Titus that Christians are to
be self-disciplined and orderly.
Help us Lord to live upright lives,
control our speech & live peacefully
with others so that we can be
living examples of our faith in You.
Help us Lead a Godly Lifestyle;
help us Say “No” to Ungodliness &
help us Live Worthily of You. Amen.
Lord, we’ll aspire Godly Lifestyle:
Teach the older men to exercise
self-control, to be worthy of
respect, and to live wisely… and
be filled with love and patience…
Teach the older women to live
in a way that is appropriate
for someone serving the Lord.
They must not go around
speaking evil of others (Tit2:2-5).
Lord, I want to be a person who
with strong faith, love & patience
helps others younger than myself
live godly lives. Since I can do
nothing apart from You, I ask for
Your grace and the power of Your
Holy Spirit to enable me how to be
a shining example who mentors
others in living a life that truly
honours and glorifies You. Amen.
Lord, we’ll Say “No” to Ungodliness:
The grace of God has appeared
that offers salvation to all people.
It teaches us to Say “No” to
Ungodliness & worldly passions,
and to live self-controlled,
upright and godly lives…
looking for the blessed hope and
glorious appearing of our great God
and Saviour Jesus Christ (v11-13).
Lord, help me to Say “No” to
ungodliness and worldly passions.
Help me know the right thing
to do in every situation, and
give me the courage to do it; for
I want to honour You in my choices.
Help me to serve You, to build Your
kingdom and to grow spiritually
so that I’ll be ready for Your return.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, we’ll Live Worthily of You:
At one time we too were disobedient
and enslaved by all kinds of passions.
We lived in malice and envy… But
when the kindness and love of God
appeared, He saved us (Tit 3:3-5)
Lord, thank You for recasting my
thoughts into the mold of Yours.
Teach me Lord how to receive
that gracious gift in its fullness.
Make me so moldable that You
can transform my heart fully,
so that it’s thoughts and intents
are reflective of Your life in me.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
