Paul Has Some Final Things to Say

16 I want you to know that you can trust our sister in Christ, Phoebe. She is a special servant of the church in Cenchrea.

2 I ask you to accept her in the Lord. Accept her the way God’s people should. Help her with anything she needs from you. She has helped me very much, and she has helped many others too.

3 Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, who have worked together with me for Christ Jesus.

4 They risked their own lives to save mine. I am thankful to them, and all the non-Jewish churches are thankful to them.

5 Also, give greetings to the church that meets in their house.
Give greetings to my dear friend Epaenetus. He was the first person to follow Christ in Asia.

6 Greetings also to Mary. She worked very hard for you.

7 And greet Andronicus and Junia. They are my relatives, and they were in prison with me. They were followers of Christ before I was. And they are some of the most important of the ones Christ sent out to do his work.

8 Give my greetings to Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord,

9 and to Urbanus. He has worked together with me for Christ.
Give greetings also to my dear friend Stachys

10 and to Apelles, who has proved himself to be a true follower of Christ.
Give greetings to everyone in the family of Aristobulus

11 and to Herodion, my relative.
Greetings to all those in the family of Narcissus who belong to the Lord

12 and to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, women who work very hard for the Lord.
Greetings to my dear friend Persis. She has also worked very hard for the Lord.

13 Greetings also to Rufus, one of the Lord’s chosen people, and to his mother, who has been a mother to me too.

14 Give my greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and all the brothers in Christ who are with them.

15 Give greetings to Philologus and Julia, to Nereus and his sister, to Olympas, and to all of God’s people with them.

16 Give each other the special greeting of God’s people.
All the churches that belong to Christ send their greetings to you.

WORSHIP & PRAISE:
Take and sing a worship song as you are led by the Holy Spirit.

25-02-23 MESSAGE:
The Bible is full of illustrious male and female characters whose lives were very impactful and exemplary. As believers today, we would do ourselves a world of good to learn from these heroes and heroines of faith. One of such noble characters is a woman called Phoebe.

Phoebe was one of the women in the Bible that demonstrated steadfast faith in God. Her faith in God moved people to become better versions of themselves. Apostle Paul trusted her so much that he sent her to another church to encourage others to be faithful to God as she was. Her light shined so brightly that other people could see it and emulated her. She was of good behaviour and very supportive of the ministry; she also touched people’s lives across board.

She was very helpful to the ministry in every way she could be. She was displaying her godly character and amiable nature both inside and outside the church. She was the literal definition of her name “shining”. She was an example of how Christians should conduct themselves in the house of God and in the community.

Beloved, we should emulate this stable and consistent godly conduct of Phoebe, wherever she was, making positive impact in the lives of both believers and unbelievers.

Being a believer is not only about serving God and being saved alone. Rather, it is about being the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Let believers and unbelievers see you and glorify God. You should be a good example of Christ to everyone. Your life should witness for Christ everywhere in the world.

Dearly beloved, like Phoebe, encourage others to live the life that pleases God and make your community, church, nation and the world at large better.

I pray that God will give you the grace to live this exemplary life, as Phoebe did, in the name of Jesus.

PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. O Lord, let Your light shine upon my life, in the name of Jesus.

2. Father Lord, make me a shining light that darkness cannot comprehend, in the name of Jesus

3. The enemy shall not dim my light, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING
4. I shall be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, in the name of Jesus.

5. Anything I am doing that is dimming my light, O Lord, stop and correct me, in the name of Jesus.

6. I shall not lose my taste nor my shining, in the name of Jesus.

7. The enemy shall not have the last laugh over my life, in the name of Jesus.
