Encouragement
There is 3 things happening in this scripture.
Exhortation, Encouragement, Prayer
Exhortation
Exhortation - an address or communication emphatically urging someone to do something.
He asks the church to help out.
We are not in this alone.
We are in this together.
We as christians are written in the book of life and we all have a mission field.
Maybe your mission field is your home, maybe your mission field is you school, or doctor’s office or job.
Maybe your mission field is your church.
We all need to do something.
If you see a fellow brother or sister in Christ, whether they go to this church or not, and they are doing something wrong, let them know.
Let someone know.
Hold accountable.
The 2nd part in this is
Prayer
We need to rejoice, we need to be reasonable to.
He tells us don’t be anxious.
Easier said than done right.
We get anxious when we dont have something planned out, or when something planned out doesnt go the way we planned it.
Thats church service, thats speaking to someone about the Gospel.
Sometimes things happen.
Stop, take a breath, and say a prayer
In the heat of the moment, we forget that God has everything under control.
And I get it, I get that way too.
But we have to stop, and take a breath.
Once you get that breath, say a prayer.
You dont have to close your eyes, just right then and there say a prayer.
Prayer is not only asking God for your needs or wants, prayer is to give you that comforting feeling that God is right there.
Then there is
Encouragement
Paul says whatever and wherever there is any excellence, or anything worthy of praise, think about it.
What did you do?
What have you learned?
All of these things that cause truth, pure, commendable, keep practicing them.
If it is helping the mission of spreading the Gospel, keep practicing it.
If it is hurting faith, Stop it.
Like I said earlier if you see something say something.
Hold each other accountable.
Be concerned for people, But there is a way, you truly be concerned for them when they are in need, don’t tear them down when they are doing something and then say Im concerned for you.
He was content in his Faith, he knew exactly what to do.
Paul followed the 3 things above Exhortation, Encouragement, and Prayer.
He did exactly what God was urging him to do which was get the word of God out to the ends of the earth in whatever way you can.
He gave encouragement to the churches on what will happen when God is on your side.
He prayed every day and the peace of God was over him during the times of sorrow.
I can do all thing through him who strengthens me.
I want to say something.
It is ok to be content in dying because we know where we are going.
It is not ok to be content with just sitting at church and being a chair warmer and not going out there to share the Gospel.
We all have a phone of some sort and we can call someone.
We no longer have to wait for free nights and weekends, we can at all times and check on each other.
If we look at the Church of Philippi that had to wait for letters to be sent.
and we all know how snail mail really goes.
But this church still wanted to share in the troubles that Paul was going through and still wanted to help.
Paul says
Thank you
He says thank you, even when no other church wanted to accept me because of my past you did.
Even though I am in jail and in need, you send me gifts and help out just because you care.
HE says I don t ask for it and you still help out.
That is how we need to be.
We need to help out.
We need to be there for our brothers and sisters in Christ.
There is a scripture in here I want us to all read again
Just because we ask for help whether outside help or inside help does not mean we dont have trust in God that He will supply our needs.
He will supply our needs and sometimes that means we need to be humble and put our pride aside and ask for help.
I want to close with this.
The 1st step in asking for help, is asking to Change our mindset on how we look at things and start seeing things the way He wants us to see them and not the way we want to see them.
