In The Service Of The Gospel

Phillipians 2:22(KJV); But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

Service defines the relationship between fathers and sons in the gospel.

The Amplified version of our theme scripture renders it thus, ‘But Timothy’s tested worth you know, how as a son with his father he has toiled with me zealously in [serving and helping to advance] the good news (the Gospel).’

What is the worth of sonship? What proves it? Service does.

Church attendance does not define sonship. Listening to the message of a man or woman of God is not what makes one a son.

Your commitment and availability or your submission to the ministry has not been tested and proved until you have learned to serve.

Service is you having a part in a vision of a ministry and it having it’s part in you. It is how fathers see their spirits multiplied in sons.

Glory to God!
