KEEP BACK NOTHING WHICH IS HELPFUL

As Gospel Ministers, we should not hesitate to make known everything beneficial for the faith of those we are called to disciple, both publicly and privately (2 Tim. 4:4 & 5). Making known everything profitable or helpful to growing Christians and ensuring we do not omit important spiritual facts, which they need to know, is very necessary for good works to be done (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
Therefore, as living ambassadors of Christ, commissioned for the continuous advancement of God's advancing Kingdom, we must not fear consequences nor withhold the Truth from anyone who needs or seeks it for their personal Salvation (Ezek. 2:6-7, John 8:31 & 32).

PRAYER: Blessed LORD and Gracious Father, thank You for making me a channel of Your Word and Divine will, commissioned to keep nothing helpful from those who need to grow in the Spirit. Please keep me empowered to strengthen the faith of all You have graciously given me to disciple; in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

From Acts 20:20

SERVING WITH HUMILITY

Dedicating yourself to God through selfless service, prioritizing others' needs, and acknowledging personal limitations, just as Jesus did by washing the disciples' feet, is always right (John 13:12-16). It involves serving with sincerity, enduring trials without arrogance, and recognizing that true greatness comes from lowering oneself to serve (Eph. 6:7-8). 
Practically, faithful Followers of Christ use their personal gifts to serve others without seeking recognition, viewing all work done with Love, as obedience to God, which brings true joy, peace, and alignment with His Divine purpose. 

PRAYER: Dear LORD, Abba Father, thank You for giving me the grace to humbly serve You, from the depth of my heart, by abiding in Your Word. Please keep guiding  me through the presence of the Holy Spirit, so I may remain faithful to the end; in Jesus' Name,
So be it.

From Acts 20;18-19

GREATLY COMFORTED

We are greatly comforted by YHWH, as Christians receiving profound solace, strength, and encouragement during times of distress - often associated with Divine reassurance or positive, unexpected news (Ps. 71:20-21, 2 Cor. 1:5). Our state of mind is continually transformed from deep sorrow or anxiety, to a state of profound peace, encouragement, and relief, as we remain faithful to our calling in Christ who loves us.
However, this is more than just temporary happiness; it is a profound strengthening of the spirit, which keeps one alive and motivated to glorify the Father of all creation (2 Cor. 7:6-7).

PRAYER: Dear Abba Father and Comforter of the Faithful, thank You for Your Divine and sustaining presence in my life, which keeps me alive and healthy to glorify Your Holy Name! Please continue to keep me sustained in the comfort of Your everlasting Love, as I continue to reach out to all, with the knowledge of Your Redeeming Word;.in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

From Acts 20:12

STILL ALIVE MIRACULOUSLY, AFTER FALLING!

Our willingness to listen and submit to the will of God revealed through His Word, by faith, keeps alive and restores the Righteous in Christ Jesus, even when we fall (Job 36:11, Prov. 24:16). Sometimes, it may seem humanly impossible for one to be alive after a fall; yet, our Wonder Working God and Loving Father will always be there to deliver us from shame and every reproach of the wicked (Ps. 37:24).
However, the demonstration of God's power over life and death, is made visible through His miraculous works and Redeeming Grace on all who remain faithful to Him (Acts 28:5-6). So stay faithful, and you will live to testify to all of His awesomeness, in due time (Ps. 118:23-24).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank you, Awesome and Miracle Working God, for gracefully keeping me alive, overcoming every fall initiated by the kingdom of darkness, as a vessel of Your glorious work. Please keep me preserved as a vessel of Your miraculous works, all the days of my life,
Amen.

From Acts 20:9-10

EMBRACING DISCIPLES BEFORE DEPARTING

Ministers need to bless, embrace and take leave of the Disciples they have gained, before any departure; for it significantly helps the growing Christians to continue faithfully in their calling in Christ (Gen. 48:10, Luke 24:50-51). It also symbolizes deep personal connection, comforting encouragement, and the commissioning of other to continue spreading the Gospel (Matt. 28:18-20, 1 Tim. 1:3).
Moreover, these ensure that those left behind are supported and empowered to carry on the work without fear, knowing that God is with us and that all who stay faithful to the end "will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him."
(Ps. 46:7, Is. 41:9-10, Jas. 1:12).

PRAYER: Dear YHWH and Comforter of my soul, thank You for encouraging me with Your Living Word and the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life. Blessed be Your Holy Name, for you've made me a ministering vessel, called to embrace Your Disciples and equip them for the Great Commission, as an Evangelist, before departing to wherever You lead me; in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

From Acts 20:1

DETERMINED IN THE LAWFUL ASSEMBLY

Settling, deciding, or legalizing disputes and complaints within an authorized, orderly, and recognized public meeting, rather than through unlawful means, riots, or informal gatherings, is usually determined by a lawful assembly ordained by God (Ps. 82:1, Rom. 13:1-2). This way, orderliness and due legal process for resolving disputes is achieved (1 Cor. 14:33 & 40).
Furthermore, lawful assemblies ensure peaceful co-existence among people, exercising their human and religious rights, no matter their beliefs.

PRAYER: Dear LORD, Eternal King of Glory, thank You for the establishment of Divine authorities in vessels of men, filled with the Holy Spirit and anointed to ensure peace and unity in the Church and settlements of Your people. Please keep me empowered with Divine Wisdom and Grace to serve faithfully as a member of Your lawful assembly; in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

From Acts 19:39

DO NOTHING RASHLY

We are advised to stay calm, composed, and avoid impulsive, hasty, or reckless actions, to prevent serious trouble or regret when faced with accusations we cannot deny or baseless attacks (Prov. 13:3 & 15:28). The Word of God urges us to pause, think, and act with caution rather than jumping to conclusions, speaking sharply, or acting in a misguided, impulsive manner.
Moreover, this encourages composure and strategic thought over reckless reaction - having patience and exercising wisdom, rather than reacting immediately in trying times (Jas. 2:19).

PRAYER: Dear Abba Father and Shepherd of the Faithful, thank You for guiding me with the revelation of Your Word and the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit, which helps me act calmly in challenging situations. Blessed be Your Holy Name; for in Your presence I am favored with peace and grace to overcome, by faith in Jesus,
Amen!
