‭‭1 Timothy 2:1-15 & 1 Timothy 3:1-16 KJV‬

[1] I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; [2] for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. [3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; [4] who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. [5] For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; [6] who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. [7] Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. [8] I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. [9] In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; [10] but (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. [11] Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. [12] But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. [13] For Adam was first formed, then Eve. [14] And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. [15] Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

[1] This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. [2] A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; [3] not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; [4] one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; [5] (for if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) [6] Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. [7] Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. [8] Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; [9] holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. [10] And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. [11] Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. [12] Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. [13] For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. [14] 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. [16] And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Friends, often we receive in the Word of GOD something that we can speak against another. In 1 Timothy 2, Paul writes on the woman of faith, so today, I added chapter 3 too. Let the Apostle Paul then speak towards men and women of the faith. Hear Him, for I cannot lift a stone in the matter. I know that in our time, many would rather have these chapters removed so they can do as they please. But, I do urge all, both women and men that claim they stand in Christ to follow the instruction of the Apostle that Christ elected to bring the Gospel unto the Gentiles. With that, also a reminder, that an epistle is a single letter, for our sakes, call it a sermon; to be read as a whole from start to finish as one.

Before we then lift stones in condemnation of each other, why don't we rather measure ourselves against these words first? You know, remove the log in our eye first.

The words are simple enough to understand, aren't they? Who am I to blame another when Christ has forgiven. And here you read, chiefly, that we must pray for all that we may live in a peaceable environment, because it is GOD'S will, that none would perish, but all be saved.

If GOD rules in us, then, must we not go ahead accordingly? Is the Will of GOD not to be made manifest in us? So, how do I instruct another in that which I still fail in? 1 Timothy 2:1-8, is thus what stands out to me here. So too, 1 Timothy 3:16.

Shall we then intercede for others in prayer; that the Truth will be revealed to them? Can we then take charge of our own lives, so we may Honor God with it? Not with infighting and accusations, but with peace and love unto one another. Let each then mind to his own conduct in the sight of GOD, corrected by The Word of GOD, so that the Will of GOD be made manifest broadly. How then do we change a nation that their heart be turned back to GOD, but to be first in that change in our own hearts.

I know, I speak in matters of the ideal scene, where mankind reveres GOD as a whole. I have read the Word, know the prophecies, so I know too that not all would do something so sane to do. GOD is the Judge of Heaven and Earth, even that which is in the Earth; not man. He is the Creator and the Authority over all creation. In Christ, when I came before the LORD, I was met with forgiveness and salvation. How can I then condemn, when I was forgiven?

That being said, The Word of GOD stands, whereby the Will of GOD is made known to man, chiefly in Christ Jesus our Lord. And unto the Will of GOD many have been called to share the Will of GOD with others. Ministering unto GOD, according to His Will.

Friends, I cannot change your mind, that is up to you. So must each work out their own salvation before the LORD in fear and trembling. I only share what GOD'S Word instructs us of. In other words, I am learning too, as I read the Word of GOD. It is thus not I standing with authority, but the Word of GOD. It is not by my Words that I speak, but by the Word of GOD unto all mankind. I speak in love, with deep concern regarding your salvation, with a Great Hope that you will partake in the redemption by GOD.

So, please, hear the Word of GOD that leads to eternal life, that saves the soul of mankind. Choose life, not death. Permit the Word of GOD to form you, guiding you unto righteousness in Christ.

Shalom

‭Romans 10:13-15 KJV‬

[13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. [14] How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? [15] And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
