Message

In the context of today's topic, a son is someone who looks like you and has some of your traits. In 1 Samuel 22. David accommodated people who were vagabonds, and he later raised them to become vallan men like himself. Jesus Christ spent only three-and-a-hall years with His disciples, but by the time He left they had been so transformed that they were just like people whe had gotten formal education (Acts 4:13). When someone has spent some time with you, can other people notice& positive difference in him or her?

The Bible says that if you delicately bring up a servas from childhood, that servant will later become a son to you (Proverbs 29:21). Childhood here refers to a time when a person doesn't understand much about life. Wyou have people working with you, raise them like they are your children. Correct them when the need arises, teach your the things they need to learn and don't give up on them while they are still working on their weaknee them a while, they will become just like sons and daughters to you.

Many people say that they cannot tolerate nonsense When, in reality, they are just impatient with people. Sud people forget that patience is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:17). Many of the people who support me today were initially rough around the edges, to put mildly. However, the Lord helped me to train them. didn't give up on them, and after a while, they became like sons to me, handling sensitive assignments. If you want to be successful as a leader, you have to leam to invest in people.

In Yorubaland, an adage says that the one whose children will be many cannot be short-tempered. Sometimes, the reason people are lonely is that they have driven the children God sent to them out of their lives by their intolerance. There are many people with great potential out there that can become great if someone trains them. However, this is not to say that you should continue tolerate people who persistently do terrible things engage in criminal acts. After many warnings and effors to change such people, if they refuse to change, you can handle the case as Paul did in 1 Corinthians 55 However, if people are generally of good behaviour but have some negative traits and are willing to become better, don't use your impatience to throw them out of the world.

King James Version

Philemon 1:10-18

I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: [11] Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: [12] Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: [13] Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: [14] But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. [15] For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; [16] Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? [17] If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. [18] If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

RCCG Hymn

Stand up! stand up for Jesus

Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the Cross!
Lift high His royal banner;
It must not suffer loss.
From vict'ry unto vict'ry
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished.
And Christ is Lord indeed.
Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict.
In this His glorious day;
Ye that are men now serve Him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger.
And strength to strength oppose.
Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own:
Put on the gospel armour,
And watching unto prayer;
Where duty calls, or danger.
Be never wanting there.
Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle.
The next the victor's song;
To him that overcometh,
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory
Shall reign eternally.
