KEY SCRIPTURE:2Ti 2:2 KJV” And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”

​

The above verse  shows us an exponential growth pattern. It says what Timothy has heard him say. Paul teaches; he must transfer it to faithful men who would likewise teach it to others. This is an exponential growth or expansion pattern. Let’s consider how it plays out. If Timothy presents four faithful men who likewise commit to four men, each of the faithful men. Then the message would have reached twenty  people, excluding Timothy. If this pattern should continue for the next three levels, then the message would reach : 4+ 16+64+256+1024 = 1364. If most churches were to operate by this system ,there would have been a great  influx of souls into the body of Christ.

​

The scripture instructs that he commit the message to faithful men, who would also commit it to others, who would also do likewise. They would find faithful men and give it to them. Now the challenge is how he finds these faithful men. The whole teaching is about discipleship. The act of duplicating yourself in others. These faithful men are not to be found on the street, but people whom you have related to and shown by example how to live faithfully. Apostle Paul said to Timothy you have known me, and my manner of life.2Ti 3:10 KJV” But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,”

​

The Lord Jesus raised his own faithful men. He did it by demonstrating the highest  standards of truthfulness. Joh 17:19 KJV “And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.” He demonstrated love, respect for all, fearlessness, and absolute purity in mind and actions. His disciples saw it, and they also did the same. It was no wonder that the people testified   they had been with Jesus.Acts 4:13

​

What kind of person are you? You always produce men after your kind.

​

THOUGHT: FAITHFUL MEN ARE NOT FOUND. THEY ARE MADE
