WISDOM NUGGETS – Do Yourself A Favour – SEEK The Need For SPIRITUAL PARENTING And MENTORING!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t grow in grace in ISOLATION. “Be SEPARATE” in Scriptural terms as written in 2 Corinthians 6:17 (16-18)<\/strong> means being SET APART for God, and doesn’t necessarily mean being in ISOLATION from others or to grow in grace without COMMUNION or ASSOCIATION in the fellowship of the Brethren as written:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“And let us CONSIDER one another in order to STIR up love and good works, 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as is the MANNER of some, but EXHORTING one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching”<\/em> Hebrews 10:24-25.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a\nSpiritual Parent\/Mentor in the walk of grace in Christ Jesus stead or you are\njust a vagabond child in the kingdom? Don’t Take The Need For Spiritual\nParenting and Mentoring For Granted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“. . . 8 But if you are WITHOUT chastening (GUIDANCE), of which ALL have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE (BASTARD, VAGABOND) and not sons . . .”<\/em> Hebrews 12:3-11<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May I advice and say – Don’t be a headless and a no Shepherd guide Child in the Kingdom. Much more so, endeavour to go to a Church gathering place of WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP where there’s a SHEPHERD and not a HIRELING as Christ warns in John 10:1-15<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t be deter from the principle act of responsibility and accountability in the Kingdom, because you think or know that there are some TOUTS operating Ministry in the name of God (Jude 1:1-24; Philippians 1:12-21, 27)<\/strong>; and that does not make you play low the essence of Scriptural injunctions for yourself as written in Ephesians 4:7-16;<\/strong> knowing there’s an essence for the place of Shepherd to cause growth, maturity and perfection in the Body Ministry in Christ Jesus stead until He returns for His Church that is glorious, victorious, triumphant, more than conquerors and faithfully awaiting Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the cause of\nthe above reasons, Apostle Paul dearly and passionately exhorted, admonished\nand gave a charged in this wise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For though ye have ten thousand INSTRUCTORS in Christ, yet have ye not many FATHERS: for in Christ Jesus I HAVE BEGOTTEN you through the GOSPEL” <\/em>1 Corinthians 4:15.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to God for\nthe workings of the Holy Spirit in all BELIEVERS in Christ. Yet Today, there\nare many SPIRITUAL PARENTLESS Christian’s around, who are busy changing churches\nplaces of worship and fellowship as they change their clothes and in some cases\nthey have become more of a spiritual harlots; And for this absurd behavioural\nact of conduct, some parts of the Churches of Christ are in many phases of\ndecay and having genuine leadership problems and fall outs as Apostle Paul\nadmonished young Timothy on how he OUGHT to behave – conduct himself in house\nof God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly; 15 but if I am DELAYED, I write so that you may KNOW HOW YOU OUGHT TO CONDUCT yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” <\/em>1 Timothy 3:14-15.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these\nabsurd behavioural act of conduct are people who can’t lead themselves in the\nkingdom, but now are leading people and with no appropriate counselling and\nguidance, and have reproduce their kinds forming the mixed multitude around,\ncreating schisms and questions both within the body of Christ and even among\nthe unbelieving world who we ought to give the light of God without question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just because you\nare born of God, filled with the Holy Spirit and knows some couples of\nscriptures and speak forth in other tongues even more than your teachers\ndoesn’t makes you to live without spiritual parenting. You need to SEEK for\none. It’s possible to have many people around you to INSTRUCT you about the\nways of God both in life, family and ministry, BUT endeavour to locate your\nSpiritual mentor’s as FATHER’S and MOTHER’S in faith that is reachable and you will\nrespect, honour and dignify their spiritual position in your life for guidance\nknowing they will not take advantage of you or make you vulnerable in the\nfaith. Their guidance as said by Apostle Paul in the scripture above of 1\nCorinthians 4:15, will enhance, establish, strengthen and impart your faith in\nthe Lord in order to THRIVE, FLOURISH and FULFILLED in Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is the NEED for SPIRITUAL PARENTING and MENTORING in the Kingdom Gospel of Christ Jesus. I do encourage you to Pray about it and God will lead you right to such gracious and graceful spiritual parent in faith as promised in Jeremiah 3:15<\/strong>, who will endeavour to see you established all round in Christ Jesus stead in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessed regards in\nlife and godliness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SELAH – PAUSE AND\nTHINK!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“And I will GIVE you SHEPHERDS according to My heart, who will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING”<\/em> Jeremiah 3:15.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For though ye have ten thousand INSTRUCTORS in Christ, yet have ye not many FATHERS: for in Christ Jesus I HAVE BEGOTTEN you through the GOSPEL”<\/em> 1 Corinthians 4:15.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Therefore I urge you, IMITATE me. 17 For this reason I have sent TIMOTHY to you, who is my BELOVED and FAITHFUL SON in the Lord, who will remind you of MY WAYS in Christ, as I TEACH everywhere in EVERY church”<\/em> 1 Timothy 4:16-17.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly; 15 but if I am DELAYED, I write so that you may KNOW HOW YOU OUGHT TO CONDUCT yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” <\/em>1 Timothy 3:14-15.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For God is my witness, whom I SERVE with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you ALWAYS in my prayers; 10 making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may IMPART unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; 12 that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me” <\/em>(Romans 1:9-12).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me DAILY, the CARE of all the churches”<\/em> (2 Corinthians 11:28).<\/strong>
