SCRIPTURE: 2Thessalonians (NIV) 2:13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
OBSERVATION: This is Paul’s letter to people who had come to know Jesus through his ministry. Some had heard him preach; others had read his letters.
APPLICATION: Like the people to whom Paul was writing, there are many people today in Guinea Conakry who have recently claimed Jesus as their Lord and received His forgiveness. Some responded to hearing the word of God being preached, some responded to seeing the great miracles by which proved His presence and validated the message preached. Paul encouraged their faith through visits and letters.
Pray with me that God will enable us to provide Bibles, especially for those leading groups of new believers. Also pray that God will use me to write SOAPs that will teach and encourage them to grow in faith!
PRAYER: Lord, you see the need for the new believers to come to understand the wonderful history of your working here with the people on earth. We are so thankful that they have become a part of our family and we look forward to spending eternity in heaven with them. We agree together in prayer for you to bless them and be close to them each day. Amen
