THERE&#8217;S THE NEED TODAY TO LIVE FAITHFUL TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN; more so, especially those that are set apart to LOOK WELL and ACCOUNT for souls in the Kingdom spiritually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">It does mean, that we can&#8217;t claim to be FAITHFUL toward God, while we go about living UNFAITHFUL lives toward those who OVERSEE our spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus\u2019 stead. It is a dangerous place to be\u00a0when you are not living Scripturally FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD the one you know that you&#8217;ve inclined your spiritual mentorship and\u00a0leadership toward, irrespective of any circumstance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Today, we have lots and loads of loose or loosen believers who thinks FREEDOM in Christ Jesus stead or under grace is without boundaries and precautionary measures. Unfortunately, many have not taken time to read the clauses in<b> Galatians 5:1, 13 (1-25)<\/b>, as to not using their freedom or liberty in Christ Jesus for FLESH-RULED behaviours. Hence many do not know how to BEHAVE themselves in the house of God, for which Apostle Paul cautioned, charged, admonished and exhorted Timothy in such respect as in the Holy writ:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><i>&#8220;These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 but if I tarry long, that thou MAYEST KNOW HOW THOU OUGHTEST TO BEHAVE thyself in the HOUSE of God, which is the CHURCH of the living God, the pillar and ground of the TRUTH&#8221;<\/i> <b>1 Timothy 3:14-15.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Apostle Paul was such an outstanding Apostle, who knew what it means to hold the mystery of the Gospel FAITH in PURE CONSCIENCE and to live in GOOD and FAITHFUL CONSCIENCE toward God and toward men in respect<b> [Acts 24:16; 1 Timothy 3:9]<\/b>. As such he could hand over the failing UNFAITHFUL BRETHREN to satan to teach such the needed lesson to value their FAITH peradventure; and to help such see the need to live Scripturally FAITHFUL in all that pertains to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead <b>[Colossians 1:28-29; 1 Corinthians 5:1-6].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">He could do this on the principle of knowing the responsibility and accountability on his shoulder as an OVERSEER over God&#8217;s heritage, in order to present them perfect &#8211; complete, whole &#8211; as one that&#8217;s being looked up for spiritual guidance toward God in Christ Jesus stead; also, for the reason of the abundant of grace in revelation that he has received of God in the Gospel<b> [Colossians 1:28-29; Galatians 1:11-24].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">However, the same Apostle Paul, in order to ACCOUNT FAITHFULLY to his MINISTERIAL set CALL and PURSUIT in God in Christ Jesus stead, was able also to SAY and ACCOUNT graciously and gracefully of the FAITHFUL BRETHREN about him; these are people he can ascertain and account of their being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in Christ without a shadow of &#8211; RESPECT of persons or for any GAIN as some may be lured to do. He knows the implications of such PRINCIPLED responsibility and accountability to be an OVERSEER over God&#8217;s heritage and precious people for their spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. Hence a Gospel Minister, POSITIONED to ATTEST and ACCOUNT of the FAITH of the flocks must see it as a SACRED duty, privileged and opportunity to SERVE FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY toward God and toward men without sentiment, prejudice, dissimulation and irrespective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Herein are few examples of FAITHFUL Brethren in Christ Jesus as accredited to Apostle Paul and Peter Account and not limited however:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\u2666\" data-font=\"Courier New\" data-listid=\"41\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Courier New&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\u2666&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"> Tychicus &#8211; (A BELOVED Brother, A FAITHFUL Minister and Fellowservant in the Lord) &#8211; <b>Colossians 4:7-8; Ephesians 6:21-22.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\u2666\" data-font=\"Courier New\" data-listid=\"41\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Courier New&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\u2666&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"> Onesimus &#8211; (A FAITHFUL and BELOVED Brother) &#8211; <b>Colossians 4:9.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\u2666\" data-font=\"Courier New\" data-listid=\"41\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Courier New&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\u2666&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"> Epaphras &#8211; (A Dear Fellowservant and FAITHFUL Minister) &#8211; <b>Colossians 1:7.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\u2666\" data-font=\"Courier New\" data-listid=\"41\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Courier New&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\u2666&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"4\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"> Timotheus &#8211; (A BELOVED Son and FAITHFUL in the Lord) &#8211; <b>1 Corinthians 4:17.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\u2666\" data-font=\"Courier New\" data-listid=\"41\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Courier New&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\u2666&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"5\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"> Lydia &#8211; (A BELOVED and FAITHFUL Woman in the Lord)<b> Acts 16:14-16.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\u2666\" data-font=\"Courier New\" data-listid=\"41\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Courier New&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\u2666&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"6\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"> Silvanus &#8211; (A FAITHFUL Brother) &#8211; <b>1 Peter 5:12.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">There are other FAITHFUL Brethren though not mentioned as<b> Ephesians 1:1<\/b> will enjoin of those in Christ Jesus.
