Title: What Spirit Do you Have?
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
Devotion: In the word of God two examples suffice to describe timid persons who later became Generals for God. After the death of Moses the leadership fell on Joshua.
The same Joshua who along with Caleb( Numbers 13:30) proclaimed that the children of Israel will conquer the land was afraid to enter and take the land. He was bold under Moses but felt the shoes left behind was oversized for him. God personally had to assure (Joshua 8:1)and re-assure Joshua(Joshua 10:8) before he took the land.
Timothy was a personal assistant to Paul(Timothy 1:2), he grew up in religious family under his grandmother. He new the word of God but he needed to be prodded to head the church. He was afraid of elders, their culture and ways but praise God Timothy had Paul to encourage him (2 Timothy 1:7).
To you and me why are we afraid to go out for Christ, we have the spirit of power, love and sound mind to go and do exploits for Christ. This beautiful morning let's attend the Sunday service and evening time preach the word of God in the neighbourhood. Stay blessed as you do. Halleluyah.
