Anglican Communion Daily Fountain Devotional 22 March 2020
Topic: Godly Relationship
Scripture: 1 Timothy 5:1-16
Message: Relationship and communication are important ingredients of a Christian community. Today’s reading instructs us on how these should be done – don’t rebuke an older man and woman, but treat them as fathers and mothers. The youths should be treated as brothers and sisters in all purity(vs. 1-2).
Widows who are sixty years and above with good testimony and good work deserve honour(vs. 9-10). What are the qualities of these real widows? (vs. 5, 9-10). Younger widows are advised to re-marry so as not to bring shame and embarrassment to the church by their activities and lifestyles(vs. 11-15).
Daily Fountain Devotional 22 March 2020: Fathers are urged to provide for their own households or they will be worse than unbelievers(v.8). Many youths today have no respect for the elders, even at church level- even greeting an elder is a big problem! When some eldersenter a crowded bus, many youths find it very difficult to vacate their seats for them.
Again, many modern churches today use the opposite sex as bait to attract membership;this is ungodly!The opposite sexes must relate in purity.The Church of God is a holy place and should be treated as such. Believers should help to re-structure the Church through proper godly relationship,starting from the family. HAPPY MOTHERING SUNDAY!
Prayer Point: Lord, may you help me to be an instrument to promote godly relationship in Your Church.
