God Desires Goodness & Godliness

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 aim Be Example of You:
Everything God created is Good
and nothing is to be rejected if
it is received with Thanksgiving
(ITim 4:4). Train yourself to
Be Godly. For physical training is
of some value, but godliness for
all things (v7-8). Be An Example to
all believers in what you teach, in
the way you live, in your love, your
faith and your purity (v12). Amen.

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.

God Is Patient Towards You

Timothy ministered alongside
with Paul as a missionary and
later received the challenging
assignment of pastoring the church
at Ephesus. Paul’s first letter
resembles a manual for building
church leadership. More generally,
it is a rich mine of principles
for anyone who wishes to have
impact in the lives of others.

Lord, You are Patient towards Us:
This is a faithful saying that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save
sinners (and) display His Immense
Patience as an example for those
who would believe in Him and
receive eternal life (1Tim 1:15-16).
(May) the prophetic words spoken
earlier…help you fight well in the
Lord’s battles; having faith and a
good conscience (v18-19). Amen.

Christ Our Example of Life of Faith
(Prayer Walk thro Heb 11-13)

Hebrews closes with an appeal for
a persevering Faith that relies on
the promises of God regardless
of the circumstances. Writing to
an audience whose actions were
being shaped by pressure from
the world rather than promises
from God, the author of Hebrews
urges the kind of Faith-inspired
walk that characterised so many
OT saints. These men & women
were so convinced of God’s
Faithfulness that they ordered their
lives according to His Word. Follow
their commendable example and
walk by Faith; and not by sight!

Dear Lord Jesus, Thank You
for all that You have done for us.
Thank You for being superior
over everyone and everything.
Thanks we can access directly
to You for help in our challenges.
Grant us confidence as we model
the pleas found in Hebrews 11-13:
that You Increase Our Faith in You;
that You help us Endure the Race &
that You Equip us Do Yr Will. Amen.

Christ Better Than Old Covenant
(Prayer Walk thro Heb 8-10)

The writer of Hebrews highlighted
the superiority of Christ by pointing
out the heart of the human problem
is the problem of the human heart.
The old covenant was inadequate
because it was unable to deal
permanently with sin. But God’s
new covenant written in Christ’s
own blood which He shed on
the cross – makes full provision
for the forgiveness of sins.

Dear Lord Jesus, Thank You
for all that You have done for us.
Thanks for the book of Hebrews
that shows You are superior
over everyone and everything.
Thanks we can access directly
to You for help in our challenges.
Grant us confidence as we claim
all the truths in Hebrews 8-10:
that You Pave Better Covenant;
that You Enable Ready Excess &
that You Mold Our Mindset. Amen

God Will Protect His Servants

Paul commended Thessalonians
for their faithfulness in midst
of persecution and encouraging
them that present suffering
will be repaid with future glory.
Paul also clarified the Day of
the Lord had not yet arrived,
and recounts the events which
must take place first. Labouring
for the gospel, rather than lazy
resignation, can be the only
proper response to such truth.

Lord, we will Pray For Outreach:
Finally brothers pray for us that
the message of the Lord may
Spread rapidly and be honoured,
just as it was with you. Pray that
we may be Delivered from evil
people, for not everyone has faith.
But the Lord is faithful, and He will
Strengthen you & Protect you from
the evil one (2Thess 3:1-3). Amen

Thessalonians by commending
them for their faithfulness in midst
of persecution and encouraging
them that present suffering
will be repaid with future glory.

God Will Sanctify You

Paul has many pleasant memories
of the days he spent with the infant
Thessalonian church. Their Faith,
hope, love and perseverance
in the face of persecution are
exemplary and Paul’s labours
as a spiritual parent to the fledging
church have been richly rewarded.
He encourages the Thessalonians
to excel in their Faith, increase in
their love, and rejoice always even
as God Promises to Sanctify them.

Lord, we Purpose to Do Your Will:
Rejoice always, pray without
ceasing, in everything give thanks;
for this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus for you (1 Thess 5:16-18).
Now may the God of peace
Himself Sanctify you completely;
and may your whole spirit, soul
and body be preserved blameless
at the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ. He who calls you is faithful,
who also will do it (v23-24). Amen.
