The spiritual gift of exhortation is often called the “gift of encouragement.” The Greek word for this gift is parakaleo. It means to call to one’s side to help, come alongside, beseech, exhort, to encourage and to strengthen.
¹¹ “Therefore, encourage one another and strengthen one another, as indeed you are doing.”
—1 Thessalonians 5:11
The primary means of exhortation is to remind the hearer of the powerful and amazing works of God in Christ, particularly in regard to the saving work of Jesus in the atonement. We see Paul commanding Titus to use this gift:
⁹ “In addition, he must hold firmly to the authentic message he has been taught, so that he may be able both to exhort with sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict it.”
—Titus 1:9
¹¹ “For the grace of God has appeared bringing salvation to the entire human race. ¹² It teaches us to reject godless ways and worldly desires, and in the present age to lead lives that are temperate, just, and godly, ¹³ while we await our blessed hope, the appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. ¹⁴ He gave himself for us in order to deliver us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people as his own who are eager to do good.
¹⁵ These are the things you should expound. Exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.”
—Titus 2:11-15
He also charges Timothy to:
² “preach the message; be persistent in doing so, whether in season or out of season; convince, reprove, and encourage, but with great patience and instruction.”
—2 Timothy 4:2
The Spirit of God gives this gift to people in the church to strengthen and encourage those who are wavering in their faith. Those with the gift of exhortation can uplift and motivate others as well as challenge and rebuke them in order to foster spiritual growth and action. The goal of the encourager is to see everyone in the church continually building up everyone else in the body of Christ and glorifying God.
⁸ “If it is a gift of exhortation, we should encourage....”
—Romans 12:8
²³ “When he arrived and perceived the grace of God, he rejoiced, and he encouraged them all to remain faithful to the Lord with resolute devotion, ²⁴ for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and with faith. And a large number of people were added to the Lord.”
—Acts 11:23-24
²¹ “After they had proclaimed the good news in that city and gained a considerable number of disciples, they returned to Lystra and then moved on to Iconium and Antioch. ²² They strengthened the disciples and encouraged them to persevere in the faith, saying, “It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships in order to enter the kingdom of God.”
—Acts 14:21-22
³² “Judas [Barsabbas] and Silas, who were themselves prophets, spoke at length to strengthen and encourage the brethren.”
—Acts 15:32

And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

☝🏻Hola amigo lector, este versículo es parte del discurso de Pablo sobre la vida en el Espíritu en la carta a los Efesios. En este pasaje, el apóstol Pablo está exhortando a los creyentes a vivir en armonía y amor y a someterse mutuamente en humildad y respeto hacia Dios y buscar su voluntad en todas las relaciones que tengamos con los demás, mostrando consideración y respeto unos con otros.
🤔 El versículo anterior, Efesios 5:20, nos habla de dar gracias siempre por todas las cosas a Dios Padre en el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
💎 Juntos, estos versículos sugieren que la sumisión mutua y la gratitud son elementos esenciales de una vida cristiana saludable.
¡La paz de Dios esté contigo; Bendiciones! 🙌🏻✨

Eliphaz Exhorts Job
1
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2
“Can a man be of benefit to God?
Can even a wise person benefit him?
3
What pleasure would it give the Almighty if you were righteous?
What would he gain if your ways were blameless?
4
“Is it for your piety that he rebukes you
and brings charges against you?
5
Is not your wickedness great?
Are not your sins endless?
6
You demanded security from your relatives for no reason;
you stripped people of their clothing, leaving them naked.
7
You gave no water to the weary
and you withheld food from the hungry,
8
though you were a powerful man, owning land—
an honored man, living on it.
9
And you sent widows away empty-handed
and broke the strength of the fatherless.
10
That is why snares are all around you,
why sudden peril terrifies you,
11
why it is so dark you cannot see,
and why a flood of water covers you.
12
“Is not God in the heights of heaven?
And see how lofty are the highest stars!
13
Yet you say, ‘What does God know?
Does he judge through such darkness?
14
Thick clouds veil him, so he does not see us
as he goes about in the vaulted heavens.’
15
Will you keep to the old path
that the wicked have trod?
16
They were carried off before their time,
their foundations washed away by a flood.
17
They said to God, ‘Leave us alone!
What can the Almighty do to us?’
18
Yet it was he who filled their houses with good things,
so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.
19
The righteous see their ruin and rejoice;
the innocent mock them, saying,
20
‘Surely our foes are destroyed,
and fire devours their wealth.’
21
“Submit to God and be at peace with him;
in this way prosperity will come to you.
22
Accept instruction from his mouth
and lay up his words in your heart.
23
If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored:
If you remove wickedness far from your tent
24
and assign your nuggets to the dust,
your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines,
25
then the Almighty will be your gold,
the choicest silver for you.
26
Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty
and will lift up your face to God.
27
You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
and you will fulfill your vows.
28
What you decide on will be done,
and light will shine on your ways.
29
When people are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’
then he will save the downcast.
30
He will deliver even one who is not innocent,
who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”

Letting go and letting God actually is yielding the pen that writes our life story to Him, letting the pen go and surrendering to His Authorship.

Leader of a Local Church
The title of Bishop isn’t a calling, it is a (personal) desire, which in turn means, regardless of any man’s desire to be a Bishop (Leader of the local church) he needs to fit specific criteria or qualifications as laid down by the Apostle Paul in order to be a Leader as stipulated in 1 Timothy chapter 3.
It is also rather clear from 1 Timothy 3 that women cannot be Bishops or Leaders of a local…

De nos jours, les églises sont partout, et les programmes spirituels et chrétiens abondent.
Même sur les réseaux sociaux et les médias, on parle beaucoup de Dieu, de miracles, d’onction, de réveil, etc.
Lors de certains programmes d’église, on voit beaucoup de gens se rassembler, faire du bruit, chanter, prier, danser, écouter un télé-évangéliste ou un prédicateur éminent.
Dans la vie de tous les jours et même dans les quartiers résidentiels, tout le monde dit être chrétien, de telle église, suivant un tel pasteur, etc.
Pourtant, il n’y a que très peu de vrais disciples de Jésus-Christ. Car les disciples, on les distingue par leur manière de vivre, en sainteté, en justice, en vérité, en amour, en intégrité, en sagesse, etc.
Mais terrible constat, la plupart de ceux qu’on appelle chrétiens sont des personnes banales, ayant le meme style de vie que les païens, a la différence près que les dimanches, ils s’en vont « à l’église ».

A Thanksgiving and a 1st exhortation in pictures
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM6bNTwN3/
#TestimonyTime Last Sunday the 21/01/24 in church Eden Life & Love Ministries , I gave thanks to the Lord for turning 45 years. I was so grateful to give my first exhortation to my brethren in the presence of our Pastors and Parents in the Lord. The Holy Spirit is actually the one who spoke through me, for a lot of what I had rehearsed wasn’t said 😂. I encouraged…

Re-evaluate how you wait! Waiting on God with patience & expectancy ☆
Thank you so much for clicking on this post. I pray that this blesses and encourages you, all for God’s glory, of course. 💗This topic definitely took a lot of wrestling with the Lord to achieve the heart posture that I currently have towards the situation. I am currently in the waiting season. As Christians, we will go through a waiting season. Whether it’s waiting to hear from God about…
