2 Timothy 2:22 NKJV
Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

We become a new creation when we be born again, recieve a new life, and are are on a new journey/race to run, following the path of Christ day by day.

Paul writes to timothy, guiding and instructing him on this journey, a path in which he had passed and in our theme verse, he tells him to walk along with those who are seeking God with a pure heart.

It was good for him in his pursuit for Godly living to walk along with men of like vision/desire, those who too sought the Lord out of pure heart as he did.

Along with us in the christian walk, we need men of a like mind, who we have similar goals and desires.
These are the men that will encourage, stand with us and strengthen us when we go weary. 

Men of like mind around will help watch with us, hold us accountable and call us to order incase we get out of plumb. 

Two are better than one, that if one falls, the other can restore, says Ecclesiastes. 
We have fellowship with the holy spirit but also should be in fellowship with brethren. 

Get along with men of a common mind and walk with them, strengthen and be strengthened, encourage and be encouraged, sharpen and be sharpened by each other. 

JOT OF VERACITY
Let us to surround ourselves with like-minded individuals who are also dedicated to living for God  and seek God together with them. 

FURTHER STUDY
Hebrews 10:24-25
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

PRAYER
Thank you Lord for your word, I thank you for the fellowship of brethren that seeks you with pure heart that i am with. Help me holy spirit in moving along with them seeking you out of pure heart in Jesus name... Amen

POWER OVER SIN

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTION Bible study department Sunday 16th June,2024 Galatians 5:24 (TLB) Those who belong to be Christ have nailed their natural evil desires to his cross and crucified them there.   POWER OVER SIN The strength for our conquering and our victory is drawn continually from Christ. The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you.  The strength and power of sin have been broken. The Christian now has resources available to live above and beyond this world. The Bible teaches that whosoever is born of God does not practice sin. It is like the little girl who said that when the devil came knocking with a temptation, she just sent Jesus to the door. FURTHER STUDY: Romans 4:7(NKJV) Romans 6:14(NKJV) 1 John:18(NKJV) PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I Thank you for the power that continually make me live above sin, I live and move as a victor because the world finds ...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Saturday 13th January 2024 John 14:15-16 NKJV "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD In this portion of scripture, Jesus is telling his disciples that they have to keep His commandments then by that is when He will ask God the Father to send them the helper, that will abide with them forever. Mark 12:30 - 31 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." There are many commandments that were given to the children of Israel but then we see Jesus Christ The Son of God enlightening us in this part of scripture that there is no other c...

Necessity Of Fasting

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTIONS Bible study department Thursday 13th June 2024 Mathew 17:21 (kJV)   "How beit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." NECESSITY OF FASTING In the book of Mathew 9:14-15,we realize that the groom left only when he spent 3 days in the grave. We all believe in His resurrection and the bible clearly tells us that when we received Him He begun to dwell in us, in other words the bridegroom is with us still. So why then do we fast?? Many christians have it on their minds that it's because they fast that they receive results simply because they received results after some serious days, weeks, months, or even years of fasting, this is a very inconsistent way to go about fasting because if you think that what Jesus did on the cross is not enough, then how much more is your fasting insufficient?? , you can't help God by fasting. Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 9:27(AMP) ".........but like a boxer, I buffett my...
