100124 Shepherd Teacher's Blessing
Lesson 2 Spiritual Blessing (2)
(Romans 12:3) By the grace given to me, I say to each one of you, do not think exceedingly as you ought to think, but think wisely according to the measure of faith God has given you.
(Romans 12:4) Although we have many members in one body, not all members have the same office.
(Romans 12:5) In the same way, we who are many are one body in Christ, and members of one another.
(Romans 12:6) Each of us has different gifts according to the grace given to us. If it is a prophecy, it is according to the fraction of our faith.
(Romans 12:7) If it is to serve, then if it is to serve, if it is to teach, if it is to teach
(Romans 12:8) But whoever has authority, let him give alms in authority, he who rules with sincerity, he who is merciful with diligence, let him do it with joy.

favor
Like the expression “grace given to me”, God does not only give grace to special people, but He gives grace to me. But I am not enough. He gave me such grace, made me believe in Jesus, and redeemed me through the merits of the cross. Not only that, but in a timely manner, He will give you the grace that suits you best. At that time, at that time, He always gives the help of appropriate grace. This is a gift from God. This leads to a life of joy and gratitude. That's right. I bless you this year in which you can enjoy the grace you have given me abundantly.
When we receive this gift of God's grace, we rejoice because of that gift, but now we grow into a life of joy and thanksgiving because of God. “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, I will rejoice in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. I will do it.” (Habakkuk 3:17-18) As the prophet Habakkuk said, we hope that God always saves us, and I bless you that you may live a life that is always joyful.
meeting
To do that, you need to meet God. There is only one way to meet God. “Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) “Salvation is found in no one else. has never been given to us.” (Acts 4:12) When we believe and receive Jesus, we meet God the Father.
coincidence of thoughts
There is a change in thinking to achieve this change. Thinking is paying attention. If you continue to think and act, you will become hardened into that kind of life. It takes training to win.
Now he turned his attention to Jesus. And I came to live with the will of Jesus. And I came to live a life of helping people to have the same heart and mind. Rather, he lived a life of witnessing to Jesus, whom he was persecuting.
That's right. What is the secret to keeping husbands and wives, parents and children, our neighbors and friends, all of the same heart, mind, and thoughts? What is the secret to achieving unity and living a happy life?
The secret of unity
The secret of unity can be achieved when we all live in imitation of Christ Jesus. It is for all of us to strive together for the shepherd life of evangelizing and making disciples like Jesus. For this, parents are shepherding their children, neighbors, and friends, and while children are also shepherding neighbors and friends, I bless you with the great happiness that we all become more and more united in the Lord through shepherding.
measure of faith
When we strive for the life of a shepherd, as in the text of the text, various gifts abound. The deacons of the early church also lived a life of evangelism and disciple-making, and they were given abundant gifts and enjoyed the blessing of obtaining the office of a good deacon.
Quantity refers to a measure, a limit. You will receive that number back with my numbering. How is my counting? What is my belief? We will live 2010 according to such thoughts and beliefs. I bless you that you increase the measure of your faith as you become one with Jesus. I pray that all of us who live the life of shepherding like Jesus will become one and have a year full of unity and happiness.
