God Desires U Be Eternal Minded
Timothy ministered alongside
Paul as missionary & later received
the challenging assignment of
pastoring the church at Ephesus.
Paul’s 1st letter resembles a manual
for building church leadership.
It also contains many principles
to impact the lives of others.
Lord, we’ll Fight the Good Fight:
Godliness with Contentment is
great gain…We can take nothing
out of (this world). If we have food,
we’ll be content with that (1T6:6-8)
Fight the good fight of faith.
Hold tightly to the Eternal life
that God has given you (v11-12).
Command those who are rich not
to be arrogant nor to put their hope
in wealth, but to put their hope in
God, who richly provides us with
everything for our enjoyment.
Command them to do good… to
be generous & willing to share. By
doing this they will be storing up
treasure for the future so that they
may experience True Life (v17-19)
Lord, Contentment is the
virtue and goal for your people.
Forgive us for the times when
we get discontented with life.
Teach me to focus on all that
I do have, rather than on the
things that lack when comparing
with others. Make connected
relationship with You and others
to be priority over things. Amen.
Lord, I realise the road ahead
may not be easy; but I purpose
to hold fast and stay the course.
Help me not grow weary in the
battles I face; but instead seek
You continually to Fight the good
fight on my behalf. And grant me
faithfulness and perseverance.
Thank You for your promise of
eternal life in your presence. Amen
Lord, thank you for all You have
given including material provision.
Keep me from being covetous,
greedy or selfish. Help me find
a God-honouring balance in
my stewardship of the resources
that you have put in my care.
Show me practical and creative
ways to use my resources to
do good, to bless others and
to further Your kingdom. Amen.
