Ph 4:14-23
The church of Philippi had difficulties
inside and outside. Moreover, he had some points to improve. But,
basically, it was a church that God likes. Shephered Paul give two
reason.
- A church who gives (14-16)
The church of Philippi was the one who
gave. When the apostle Paul started his travel of evangelisation in
Macedonia, going all over Europe, the only church which take part in
evangelisation of the apostle Paul with donation was the church of
Philippi (15). Jesus himself said : « there is more
happiness to give than to receive » (Actes 20:35).
- A church which receives (17-23)
The church of Philippi gave their doing
mission of evangelisation with donation, instead of using it for
their own church. This church received in abundance blessing of God
(17). The church or the Christian that God likes is the one who do
the mission of evangelisation. They received from God.
Prayer : Lord, give us your mercy,
to the Christians of our country and of Korea, give a lot of
donations to mission of evangelisation. As result, they make a church
which receives in abundance blessing from God.
Bottom line : Does God like your
church ?
