SCRIPTURE: 3John (NIV) 3 It gave me great joy to have some brothers come and tell about your faithfulness to the truth and how you continue to walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
OBSERVATION: There are many joys in being a Christian. There is the joy of our sins being forgiven. There is the joy of the Holy Spirit dwelling in our hearts.
Some joys are temporary, only lasting a few moments. But other joys last a lifetime! One of the greatest joys is to know our children, our family is “walking in the truth” knowing Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
John had known Jesus, had spent time with Jesus, had been chosen and appointed as a disciple of Jesus. He was writing to his spiritual children, those who had come to serve Jesus through John’s ministry. He rejoiced that they were continuing “walking in truth.”
APPLICATION: We can all rejoice in that many new believers in Guinea-Conakry will be following the commands of Jesus to be baptized in the next few weeks. Preparations are now being made.
If you have not been baptized, the Holy Spirit may use this SOAP to stir that desire to follow Jesus’ command.
PRAYER: Lord, we pray that there will be a mighty expression of your presence as these new believers follow your command (Matthew 28:19). Save those who wonder by. Heal those who are sick. Be glorified among your people. Give wisdom to those making preparation for such a large celebration of baptism. Amen
