24/7 DOXA Content, 11th November-NOT WORDS OF FLATTERY
_____________________________________
FOCAL TEXT: 1 Thessalonians 2 vs 5►► “For as you well know, we never resorted either to words of flattery or to any cloak to conceal greedy motives or pretexts for gain, [as] God is our witness.”~|AMP|______________________________________
GRACIOUS greetings, Cherished one. The Bible is not a sugarcoated book to brainwash your mind. It’s not a manly scheme to deceive anyone. Sometimes, due to the simplicity of the gospel, some people see the Bible as a book of flattery. The gospel is simple but it carries an eternal weight of glory. To us who believe, it is the real truth of God, not flattery words. Beloved, Christianity is the most honoured place to be. In Christ, we don’t play with words; we feed on words which are true, meaningful, purposeful and are based on the integrity of God.
The Apostle makes it clear in our focal text that his ministry life was not based on flattery words, greed or covetousness. Flattery words are words which are often insincere and sometimes contrived to win favour. Most times people who use flattery words are liars inwardly. The gospel is true. The word of God is true, we are not trying to “concoct” words to win the favour of anyone or credentials. As a matter of truth, one way to determine a genuine person is that he doesn’t use words of flattery. He means what He says and says what he means.
Cherished one, when we declare who we are and what we have in Christ, we are not relying on words of flattery but the truth which emanates from the will of God. The blessing of God is real. Miracles are real. God’s power is still working as He did in Bible days. These are not words of flattery. Minister of God, it is your duty to be diligent to study God’s word and deliver it in sincerity, power and accuracy, not with flattery speech (2 Timothy 2:15). The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always.
