KEEP THAT GOOD THING

KEY SCRIPTURE:2Ti 1:14 KJV “That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.”

Apostle Paul once again tells Timothy to keep or guard that good thing that was committed to Him. 1Ti 4:14 KJV “Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.” Our key scripture is an emphasis on what Paul  had  earlier said to Timothy. We may not be able to identify what particular gift or good thing the bible was talking about, since it was not clearly stated in any of the letters to Timothy.  What we can know about the gift is that it is a good thing.

Every child of God has a good gift from God. Some of us have supernatural gifts, talents ,ministerial gifts, and there are also common gifts ( common means every Christian has it) like the gift of the  Holy Spirit,the gift of  eternal life, and the gift of righteousness. There are some people  with special gifts,but  there are also  some brethren who do not have any special gifts, or in a more elaborate way, there are people who are not aware of any special gifts, but everyone has these common gifts. These are the gift of eternal life , the gift of the Holy Spirit and the gift of righteousness. Our call is to keep these good gifts through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit helps us to keep these gifts through our fellowship with Him. Please note that every one of these gifts comes from Him( Holy Spirit). A very strong relationship with the Holy Spirit would sustain and strengthen the gifts. Fellowshipping with the Spirit begins with setting yourself apart from all unholy ways. The next is to seek the Lordship of the Lord Jesus over your life. Then you commit yourself to prayer ,studying the word . The stronger our fellowship with the Holy Spirit, the stronger these gifts are preserved, and they function through us.

THOUGHT:THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE LORD OF EVERY GIFT, SO SUBMIT TO HIM
