Every believer is a disciple of Jesus Christ and every believer must serve man(others).
We must manifest Christ to the world ( people ).
Timothy a true disciple to the Lord Jesus because he has some specific qualities that manifests Christ to others. Philippians 2:19-22
Timothy name meaning “one who honours God”
You’re called to be his(Jesus Christ)disciple which means, God must be glorified through you.
1) Philippians 2:20
“I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare.”
Philippians 2:3-5 do these things
Have concern about others that you must deposit something good (a seed of benefit) into others life.
That is your purpose of God to your life.
Be concerned about others, that I must bring them out of their struggles because I carry Christ.
Strive hard for others to show Christ in their midst of troubles.
Because Christ is the only solution for every problem.
Have the same mindset as Christ Jesus
What Christ did for you the same you must do for others
Philippians 2:6-8
He left his great position for you and me
He made himself nothing for you and me
He humbled himself for you as me
He obeyed to God for you and me
2) Philippians 2:21
*For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.”
Philippians 2:12
“continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,”
Workout your salvation
Know your purpose
Put your efforts(God given abilities) to fulfill that purpose
3) Philippians 2:22
“But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel”
Working as if you’re doing to your father
Which means
Don’t work for selfish desires when it comes to preaching gospel.
You must share the gospel
You must work with your respective church to establish and expand kingdom of God.
