Holy Sunday Bible scriptures for your fear ☺️

It's so nice to be reassured that there's nothing to fear when Christ is near, and God is watching over you, especially at this time of the year. When the darkness is most apprehensive.

Have a safe and blessed week🙏🙏🏻🙏🏼✝️🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿

Okay now that I'm less upset, I suggest Christian followers and mutuals read the daily Tehillim and daily Nakh bc it provides really awesome analysis of biblical stories! I also highly recommend reading the Torah with commentary (whichever commentary calls you!!! My personal favorite is the women's Bible commentary)!

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

Timothy, Protege of the Apostle Paul

Even though he was young, Timothy was respected by fellow believers. Paul regarded him as his spiritual beloved and faithful child.  He was Paul's successor.

Bishop Nonon Orjaleza enumerated Timothy's qualities during the Year of God's Supernatural Manifestations Conference 2024.

What makes Timothy outstanding?

1. Heart connection

"Just like Timothy, connect to your Pastor for your heart to be understanding." Bishop Nonon told us. Followers must maintain an intact relationship with their leaders. We must have an amenable character like Timothy who agrees with his spiritual father (1 Corinthians 4:17). A child who does not rebel.

When Paul picked Timothy as his successor, he realized this young man would be trying to convert Jews, so Paul circumcised Timothy (Acts 16:3). "When we become Christians, we also get circumcised. However, not by the genitals but by heart." Bishop Nonon explained. A circumcised heart will be from dirt. "Allow your leader to perform a surgical operation on you." Bishop Nonon went on. This conveys that disciples must be teachable for his or her leader will correct them.

2. Faithful and Loyal

Based on Philemon 2:22, he was a dutiful child for he has been serving his spiritual father in spreading the gospel. "Another one is Shammah who is working under the shadow of King David, serving behind the scenes." Bishop Nonon preached.  2 Samuel 23:11- Next to him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines banded together at a place where there was a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them. He was one of the three mighty warriors. Fearless as he is, he didn't back out, and shed blood for his King like a loyal warrior.

3. Kindred heart and spirit

"Having a connected relationship with your leader will result in soul ties." Bishop Nonon shared. 1 Samuel 18:1 states that "After David had finished speaking with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself."

"Paul shared how genuine and exceptional Timothy is in his life and in God's work as stated in Philippians 2:19-21." Bishop Nonon said. In 1 Kings 19, God instructed Elijah to anoint Elisha as his successor. When Elijah anointed Elisha, he decided at that point to leave his parents’ home and follow Elijah. Followingly, Elisha became Elijah's servant. In essence, he was an apprentice and would assume the mantle that Elijah left. "Elijah's spirit is connected to Elisha's spirit." Bishop Nonon expounded. They are intertwined. "This is double portion anointing!" Bishop Nonon exclaimed. Bishop Nonon defined God as a multigenerational God. He multiplies his blessing for every descendant. Bishop added, "On the other hand, Gehazi's bloodline is multiple leprosy." This suggests that it is a curse when God does not intervene.

4. Excellent attitude

1 Timothy 6:20- Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith.

Timothy seemed to be affected by his youthful insecurities. In 1 Timothy 4:12, Paul advised him not to allow anyone to underestimate him due to his age. Paul encouraged Timothy to set an example for all believers in his speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Timothy was unselfish, always bringing glory to God.

Furthermore, Timothy grappled with fear and timidity, but Paul provided reassurance in 2 Timothy 1:6-7. Paul reminded him to kindle the spiritual gift bestowed upon him and emphasized that God had granted them a spirit characterized by power, love, and self-discipline, not one of fear and timidity.

"Mature attitude, mature actions." Bishop Nonon enlightened. Spiritual maturity has the power to help us transcend barriers such as age or other obstacles.

5. Energetic and Enthusiastic

Timothy has been always interested in and excited about Paul's passion. Passion for the ministry (1 Timothy 1:18; 4:14; 6:20). As good as a student, he co-labored with his teacher.  In Paul’s second letter to Timothy, he points out that, “you know what I teach, and how I live, and what my purpose in life is. You know my faith, my patience, my love, and my endurance” (2 Timothy 3:10-11 NLT). Paul sets the pace with his life and challenges Timothy to learn by keeping up and emulating his lifestyle. Timothy and Paul are in the yoke with the burden of the Lord's Kingdom. "Timothy is very self-driven. He has a running condition. Disciples must have a running condition not running condus-on." Bishop Nonon quipped. Kondus-on is a Bisaya word that means pushed forcefully. Disciples must have an initiative to serve God so that leaders will not drag them to church every time.

6. Diligent and Competent

For this reason, Paul urged Timothy to shun all enticements to seize worldly riches and power. Instead, he was to diligently fight the battle for the Christian faith against the false teachers at Ephesus (Eph. 6:11-12). Paul invested in Timothy to help him grow spiritually. Timothy is "‘inwardly strengthened." "Focus on Timothys who are Gospel-deliverers." Bishop Nonon exhorted. "Timothys are assets of God. They have a burning passion for making disciples.

7. Multiplies

"Teach others as well." Bishop Nonon highlighted. "God will operate in the same spirit. Same Pastor, same anointing." Bishop Nonon went on. He also quoted Job 8:1-7, learn from the great men of God.

A story from the book of Exodus teaches the foundation of the virtue of justice among men. The prophet Moses was leading the Israelites toward Canaan, and Moses, in addition to being their leader, fulfilled the role of judge in the disputes that occurred among his people. Advised by his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses decided to create the aristocracy of judges in charge of resolving minor disputes among the common people, in this way, Moses fulfilled better his role as leader and was not overloaded with work. The Book of Exodus teaches what the moral requirements were to be a judge according to the advice given by Jethro to Moses: "Teach them his decrees and instructions, and show them the way they are to live and how they are to behave. But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves." Exodus 18:20-22. This advice given by Jethro shows that the fundament of justice in the Bible is the spiritual gift of fear of God (constancy, firmness, devotion), and this is so because the common sense to solve problems is born from this important spiritual gift. In other words, when the fear of God fails in the hearts of men, everything in society fails, because men oscillate between the lack of common sense and madness. That's why Moses when he gave the law, was clear: "The LORD commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the LORD our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive" Deuteronomy 6:24.

Holy Sunday scripture on forgiveness...

Valentine's Day is coming up soon no better time to make up with someone who you don't talk to anymore, then right now. Rather it be because they hurt you or you hurt them. All deserve to be forgiven. 🙏❤️

Jesus said, "It is finished." John 19:30

When Jesus lifted up His voice and said, " It is finished," He did not mean His life was ebbing away or God's plan had been foiled. Though death was near, Jesus realized the last obstacle had been hurdled and the last enemy destroyed. He had successfully and triumphantly completed the task of redemption. With the words, "It is finished," He announced that Heaven's door was open. Kingdoms and empires come and go, but the cross and all it stands for will always remain towering over the wrecks of time!

26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
