I Once Was Young!
Now I Am Older!
God is not through with me yet!
With the dawning of each new day, I continue to be filled with excitement as my journey with the Lord leads to new opportunities and new experiences. The NMINISTRY Blog shares truth and encouragement. All posts are approved by moderator prior to public posting.
God renews our youth as He does the feathers of the eagle. When we make ourselves available, He can and will use anyone regardless of race, age, or gender. We respect our elders ... Those older in age, and also those who are 'proven' elders by the maturity of their words, deeds and actions, regardless of race, age or gender.
- Elder does not necessarily mean "older" in age, however an 'elder', regardless of race, age or gender must display maturity and bear specific fruit as is outlined in the scriptures.
- The husbandman that laboreth must be first partaker of the fruits. II Timothy 2:6 . Partakers of the fruits have fruit to share.
- Rebuke not an elder. Zeal without knowledge, wisdom and keen discerning of spirits leads to immature and out of order rebuke of elders.
- Only God can render righteous judgement with no error. He judges the heart. We may get a glimpse of what is in another person's heart, BUT only God knows all truth.
- God will reveal what is in our own individual heart if we ask. He then gives us freedom to choose to make adjustments. This is the way to keep our heart pure before God.
- Paul told Timothy, his son in the faith, (I Timothy 1:2) .... Study to show thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. II Timothy 2:15
Our paths, yours and mine, have crossed, not by coincidence, but for a divine purpose. May God bless you abundantly, to the full to the overflow in every area of your life!
