What Has God Said and Done?

1 Timothy 1-4 

“Timothy, my son, I give you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight, holding on to faith and a good conscience…Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you.”

1 Timothy 1:18, 19; 4:14

Paul’s discipleship of Timothy included repeated references to the prophetic words and gifts imparted to him to guide and empower his ministry-journey. Without the Holy Spirit, our discipleship is limited to theological content and skill transmission and is entirely un-empowered.

What has God said to us about our best contributions to his kingdom-mission?

What spiritual gifts has God given us to accomplish his will for our lives?

Are we reminding each other of these prophetic words and works of God in each other’s lives for the encouragement and strengthening of our faith and discipleship in mission?

“Lord Jesus, thank you for the prophetic words and works in my life for your mission and glory.”
