The ministry of Brother Titus:
- He was one of the converts of Paul that became his co-worker and co-sufferer
- He walked in the same spirit and same steps of Paul
- He loved the church in Corinth and laboured for them (2nd Corinthians 8:16-19)
- He was left to set in order the things that were lacking in Crete (Titus 1:4-5a)
- He was to ordain elders after the image of the apostles (Titus 1:5b)
- He was to continue and complete the business of the apostles
Prayer:
- Lord, as I await Your Second Coming, let me not allow or encourage anything that is inconsistent with The Truth that is in Your Word. Let my life and ways agree with Your principles, and cause me to promote Your principles wherever I find myself.
- Lord, help me not to seek to rest on human reasoning and opinions, but to seek to rest on the Faith that comes from Your pure and purifying Word. Grant me an established expectation of Your Coming, so that I may birth hope and faith in others.
As we await the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we
are to:
1.
BE HIS CO-WORKER AND CO-SUFFERER
Romans 8:17 (NIV) - Now if we are children, then we
are heirs - heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his
sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
2nd Corinthians 1:7 (NIV) - And our hope
for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so
also you share in our comfort.
Prayer:
- Lord, please open my eyes and my heart to what it means to work with You and what it means to suffer for You. Consume me with the spirit of true labour for Your Kingdom. Be the Kingdom Worker and the Kingdom Sufferer in me.
- Affect my emotions in my walk with You. Let me not be discouraged by what seems to be happening around me. Deliver me from all areas where I am a captive of my emotions, and set my zeal ablaze for You in all situations.
- Lord, breathe on me the breath of life. Baptise me afresh with Your Spirit. Cause me to walk in the same steps with Jesus, and to work in the same Spirit with Jesus. Increase Your love in me and let me not labour in vain in Your Kingdom.
2.
SET IN ORDER THE THINGS THAT ARE
LACKING
Ephesians 5:15-16 (NIV) - Be very careful, then, how
you live - not as unwise but as wise, making the most
of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
Philippians 4:8 (NIV) - Finally, brothers and sisters,
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or
praiseworthy - think about such things.
Prayer:
- Lord, please open my eyes to what is lacking in my life, and to those things that are lacking in my walk with You. Let me see myself as You see me, so I can receive the help You are bringing my way according to my spiritual lack
- Deliver me from self righteousness. Let me not pitch my walk with You only on my past achievements and my past experiences of You, but help me to seek to progress with You as You carry me daily
- Lord, open my eyes to what is lacking in the Body of Christ, and help me to set them in the Order of Heaven through The True Gospel. Visit the prayer altars in our various Churches and begin to raise more people that will commit themselves to making sure that Your Divine Order is followed according to the Divine Pattern
3.
CONTINUE IN THE COMPLETE GOSPEL
1st Corinthians 3:11 (NIV) - For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid,
which is Jesus Christ.
2nd Timothy 2:19 (NKJV) - Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: The Lord knows those who are His, and let everyone who names the name of Christ depart
Prayer:
- Lord, please visit the foundation of my faith in You afresh, rid me of any other gospel that I have believed and built my life on. Quicken me with the Cross-centred Gospel and ensure that all my connectives (my children, my spouse, my household, my friends, my colleagues, my in-laws, etc.) are flooded with The True Gospel.
- Lord, bring me into divine partnership with those that are walking in the same steps of Jesus, and with those that are serving You in the same spirit of Jesus. Help me to continue the heavenly and the glorious WORK as it was committed to the men and women of old.
- Lord, please touch every area of my life and affect my household with the power that is embedded in The Gospel, help us all to seek to advance Your Kingdom here on earth.
LET MY LIFE BE CONSISTENT WITH THE LIFE OF JESUS, AND HELP ME
TO HOLD FORTH YOUR TRUTH TILL YOU APPEAR!!!
