1 Timothy [3]
Dear All,
Apostle Shaul’s letter to Timothy contains instructions [ Torah ] needed to set up godly congregations. Godliness [ devotion to grow in the knowledge of God and follow Him closely ] is good in every believer in Messiah. Our prayers in faith from an obedient life style matters much in the Kingdom of God.
Let us look in to 1 Timothy 2 : 1 - 10
1. 1 - 2
> Prayer is an act of communication of man with God
> Prayer is a common term used for petitions, prayer, intercession and thanksgiving [1].
> We pray to God to take control over the powers that rule over us.
> Godly control over the ruling powers enable us to live in peace. The God of righteousness is able to lead His people live in peace and righteousness [2].
>. Kings and people in authority exercise their power over us. We ought to pray that God would empower them to rule in peace and righteousness.
> Our King and Deliverer desires that we seek His Presence and power to watch over all unrighteousness existing in this world [ 3].
Such prayers enable us to know our faithful Creator / Deliverer more intimately.
2. 3 - 7
> God wants the entire mankind to know Him as a restorer.
> Such restorations contribute to the expansion of God’s Kingdom on earth [4].
> Yeshua our Messiah is the mediator of all mankind [ not believers only].
> Therefore, God’s people ought to pray for all mankind to come to the knowledge of a God of restoration, Messiah Yeshua [ 4 - 5].
Messiah died for the deliverance of mankind. He won the battle with the spirit of death and rose up on the third day to join His Father at the appointed time.
Conclusion :-
Apostle Shaul became a trust worthy teacher of God’s word by believing in Messiah and obeying Him.
Let us also take up prayer / intercession for souls bound in darkness.
Intercession is praying for people who do not know Messiah and His word so that they could come to Him and pray for their needs too.
Men and women ought to come in to God’s Presence with great reverence [2 : 8 - 10]. Pride and love for the world can make God’s people lack humility / submission and holiness. The above sins make our prayers unworthy.
Let us be mindful about such truth.
Shalom to all
