Decide To Stay Strong Come May What.

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 1:1. The word “strong” comes from the Greek translation “endunamoo”. Which means; to be endow with strength, or to be strengthen🙏.

Apostle Paul was having a discourse with his spiritual son Timothy. Tactically, about what a young minister is likely to face in ministry. He saw the need to encourage him to be strong and never to entertain weariness as a soldier of the cross 🤝. 

   

Apostle Paul in himself needed to endure a whole lot as a Senior Minster of Christ purposely for the gospel to be spread across the length and breadth of the nations of the world. From stripes, imprisonments, afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, in shipwrecks, in prayers, and so forth. Yet in all these, he stood till the end and even affirmed his Faith openly to the Romans, saying “who can separate us from the love of God”. 2 Corinthians 6:4-5, Romans 8:35 🤍✝️.

Hear me child of Destiny 🙇. To be strong means to encourage yourself in the Lord through His word. Look beyond your present circumstances and fight for your ultimate crown of glory. Enduring all forms of hardships and triumphing over destructions till victory comes to your corner. You don’t need any special skills or a bachelor's degree in theology and divinity in order to be stay strong. Just be steadfast and unshaken 🔥.
