An Approved Workman of God

Scripture Reference: 2 Timothy 2:15-26

Who is an approved workman of God? He is one who correctly handles the word of truth and avoids godless chatter. We need to have nothing to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because it will only produce quarrels.

In today's devotion, I learnt that we need to breakout from all quarrels and all kinds of arguments that are so unnecessary. This is the Year of Victory and to experience that Victorious Christian Life, we need to learn to submit to one another in love and we will break out from all these unnecessary quarrels.

Today's devotion is very real to me because I just had an argument with a brother of mine yesterday concerning some issue. I felt the Lord is so close to me in teaching me His ways.

My dear friends, those who think that they are spiritual and yet are quarrelsome; they are being deceived. The Lord is not pleased to see His children fighting among themselves. (The Lord’s servant must not quarrel; instead he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 2 Tim 2:24)

Did you just quarrel with someone yesterday?
Will you come to the Lord right now and release forgiveness over that someone who may have wrong you or make you upset? Will you commit to the Lord today that you will be a peace maker and guard yourselves from all fruitless arguments?

As children of God, the way we can shine like Jesus is to follow His example and become peacemakers like Him. Today, can you say that you are an approved workman of God???
