God Desires Holy Living
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 and 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 as well as encourages
all to live worthy of the gospel.
Lord, we 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).
The grace of God has appeared
that offers salvation to all people.
It teaches us to Say “No” to
Ungodliness and worldly passions,
and to live self-controlled,
upright and godly lives (v11-12).
Lord, I want to be a person who
lives wisely with love & patience;
& helping others to live godly lives.
Since I can do nothing apart
from You Lord, I ask for the power
of Your Holy Spirit to enable
me to be a shining example.
Help me Lord to mentor others
in living a life that truly honours
and glorifies Your name. Amen.
Lord, thank You for reminding us
to live in a way that is appropriate
for someone serving the Lord.
Help us Lord to avoid speaking evil,
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 to avoid ungodliness; and
help us live worthily of You. Amen.
Lord, thank You for teaching us
to be self-disciplined and orderly.
Help me Lord to Say “No” to
ungodliness and worldly passions.
Help me know the right thing to do
and give me the courage to do it; for
I want to honour You in my choices.
Help me grow spiritually, serve You,
and to build Your kingdom so that
I’ll be ready for Your return. Amen.
