Adoring God In 2&3 John (Dec 21)

God Urges Living In the Truth

In 2 John, the apostle urges
balance in Christian life, standing
firm in the faith and obey God
by loving Him and one another.
In his third letter, apostle John
commends Gaius for hospitality
& love of the truth; and Demetrius
for serving the church faithfully.

Lord, we want to Live in the Truth:
How happy I was to meet some
of your children and find them
Living according to the Truth,
just as the Father commanded
And I plead with you… that which
we have had from the beginning:
that we love one another (2Jn 4-5).
I am praying that all is well with you
and that your body is as healthy as
…your soul is. Some of the brothers
recently returned and make me
very happy by telling me about
your faithfulness and that you are
Living in the Truth (3 John 2-3).
I could have no greater joy
than to hear that my children
are Following the Truth (3Jn 4).

Lord, we can only build a good
foundation of faith by teaching
our children well; but only You can
make their heart to be fully Yours.
Thank You that every time we pray,
the Spirit is activated and God’s
heart-changing power is released.
And we pray our children be covered
by the grace and love of Christ, even
as we strive to live by Yr Word.Amen

Lord, l lift up all those in ministry,
those in training & church leaders
for their task can be challenging.
Minister to them, protect them and
wrap Yr arms around their families.
Help me be a bright spot in ministry
of the church by living in the truth.
Help me to be faithful, practice what
I believe and to be a blessing, even
as I strive to live by Your Word.Amen

Lord, grant me the same privilege
as Apostle John and give me
the joy of hearing my spiritual
children are following the truth.
Save them from the soul sickness
caused by neglect or hypocrisy.
And cause them to experience
the strength of Spirit that comes
from living according to Your Word.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
