24/7 DOXA Content, 6th April-CONQUER BEING DESPISED Pt. 1

_____________________________________

FOCAL TEXT: 1 Timothy 4 vs 12

►► “Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.~| NKJV |

GRACIOUS greetings, Cherished one. Anything young, youthful or small will be dispised one way or the other by people. God created humans in His own image and likeness therefore they ought to be honoured. Yes, people carry value, potentials and abilities. However, that’s not always the case. Instead of honouring people, some rather despise them. In ministry, government, businesses people are easily despised by their bosses, leaders or their equals.

So Apostle Paul admonished his son in the Lord to wage war against being his youth being despised. The word “despise” means “to disdain, think little or nothing of or looking down” on someone; thus making someone feel inferior or useless. Our focal text reveals the youthful stage as one group people easily despise. Yes, every young person will be despised one way or the other.

They are easily despised because the youth stage symbolizes small beginning, learning new things, inexperienced, and assuming new responsibilities. Friend, many people including your family, friends and loved ones will despise you in one way or the other, but refuse to be despised; don’t walk in their opinions of your weaknesses and shortcomings.*The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always.
