02/01/21 GOD'S PROVISION FOR SUCCESS
Doing the best you know,
Doesn't mean you know the best to do.
To grow in grace and knowledge,
God gives these gifts to you:
His word, His Spirit, His church and His shepherd (pastor/teacher).
God's word is the revelation of God and His truth. His word enlightens, sanctifies, food, protection, armament, provides faith and grace, doctrine, correction, reproof and instruction in righteousness.
God's Spirit gives personal leading, enlightenment, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, counsel, conviction.
God's C(c)hurch is the pillar and support of the truth. God gave His word, through His Spirit to the New Testament Apostles and Prophets (Matthew, Mark, Luke, Johan, Paul, James, Peter, Jude), to the Church, through local churches and church leaders (in Rome, Corinth, Galatia Ephesus, Philippi, Colosse, Thessalonica, Timothy, Titus, the scattered believers, fellow believers, house churches, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphea, Laodicea.
God's shepherds, pastors, teachers, are God's servants, carrying and sharing the grace and knowledge of God with God's people, to perfect them in the faith.
