BE AN EXAMPLE

BE AN EXAMPLE

1 Timothy 4:11-16

Devotional:- Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity” (V. 12).

    Everyone involved in relationship should seek to be an example. To be an example is to be a model for what is right in the relationship. It is not enough for us to know or always say what we ought to do or be doing in our relationship. It is very important that we become doer of what we are saying. If you will not do what you are saying, nobody will do it. The right mind-set is that, I must be in front to do what I am asking others to do and not just do as I say.

The word of God says we should be an example to all in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. A life that only want to direct others without standing in front to be an example will soon be despised. With time, he/she will no longer be respected. Some people that refused to grow to maturity as a choleric, always want to lead but not by example. That way; no one will want to keep doing what they are saying.

Friend, there is no one made to be a slave for another. If you want people to follow your instructions or advises, then be the first to do it. No one can build a quality relationship or leadership when he is not an example. Please, be a doer of whatever you want others around you to do. That is the way to raise godly children. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be humble to always do what is right.
