MFM Daily Devotional June 27, 2022 MESSAGE
Faithful helpers will wait with you and not sleep at the peak of the fight of destiny like those who went with our Lord Jesus Christ to the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-40). They were people that can be trusted and who will go along with you even when the going gets tough. When others are falling by the wayside, faithful helpers will stand until victory is guaranteed. They are not applause and praise seekers for what they have done or are doing. Also, they are not people who are slothful in the Lord’s business but fervent men and women rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulations, trials and persecution and people who are strong in the spirit (Romans 12:11-12).
Faithful helpers are those that cannot be discouraged by any negative thing they see, hear or experience. They are rather inspired by what the Spirit of God says. Helpers that will stand for the truth and can defend it in spite of opposition are the ones the Church needs. One of such was Caleb. The Bible says, “And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it” (Numbers 13:30).
Paul mentioned people like Tychicus, a faithful helper (Colossians 4:7); Onesimus, faithful and beloved brother (Colossians 4:9) and also profitable son (Philemon verse 11); Epaphras, a servant of Christ (Colossians 4:12); Titus, a son and co-labourer (Titus 1:4) as faithful helpers who supported his ministry. May God send faithful helpers to you today, in Jesus’ name.
