Use Your Influence To Make others Faithful

2 Tim. 1:3-7

Paul was a prisoner in Rome for the second time, awaiting his execution. He had been forsaken by many of his friends. In his situation he did not cease to pray for Timothy (verse 3). He desired to see Timothy once again and requested his co-workers to remain faithful to the truth of the gospel. He reminded Timothy to stir up the gift of God in him (1 Thess. 5:19). This is probably a special anointing and power from the Holy Spirit to fulfil his ministry. Believers should note that the gifts and power given to us by the Holy Spirit do not remain strong and vital automatically; they become active by the grace of God through our prayer, obedience and diligence. Let’s pray for others also to remain faithful to God as Paul did for Timothy.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: Praying for others to remain faithful to God is very essential

for Christians.

PRAYER POINT: In whatever condition I find myself, Lord empower me to be faithful

to you and strengthen me to pray for others to remain faithful to the truth of the

gospel.
