“The Treasure in Timothy”
Saturday, September 14, 2024Key Verse
“But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state” (Philippians 2: 19 -20).
Text — Philippians 2:19-24
Message
Timothy was a youth and spiritual son of Apostle Paul. Timothy possessed excellent qualities that are missing in the lives of many youths today. His life and work in the body of Christ was so remarkable that Paul confirmed that there was none that was like-minded like Timothy in following godly examples. Timothy was a selfless minister whom Paul trusted to take care of the Church in Philippi.
Many so-called Christian youths are selfish and only think about their comfort. The Lord expects us to live a sacrificial life to edify the body of Christ and to win sinners to the kingdom. As a student, you can share what you have with your friends as it is more blessed to give than to receive. You also need to share the gospel of Christ with your unbelieving friends to help them see the need of surrendering their lives to Christ. We are talking about Timothy because he had good and godly treasures such as: holiness, love, obedience, diligence, trustworthiness and sacrificial service. Are you trustworthy like Timothy?
