TOPIC: Where Are The Onesiphorus Of Our Time?
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Timothy 1:13-18
MEMORY VERSE:
“The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:” – 2 Timothy 1:16
The MESSAGE:
Paul encouraged the Christians in Ephesus through his beloved son, Timothy, to hold fast the pattern of sound words which they had heard from him in faith and love in Christ Jesus which was only achievable through the Holy Spirit that dwelled in them. He also made mention of disciples who deserted him when he was in bonds among them were Phygellus and Hermogenes. Paul did not fail to mention those who were loyal to him in ministry; prominent among them were those of the household of Onesiphorus.
Who are today’s Onesiphorus?
They are those who refresh the men of God.
They are those who are not ashamed of the condition of the man of God in the times of trials of their faith.
They are those who identify with the man of God during period of crisis.
They are those who zealously seek for the welfare of the man of God.
They are those who intercede for the man of God.
They are those who give to the ministry and also the man of God.
Apostle Paul prayed for Onesiphorus to find the mercy of the Lord in that day. The prayer to find the mercy of the Lord is an all-embracing prayer every Christian should covet from their parents in the Lord.
Do you go to your parents in the Lord to be ministered unto all the time? Have you ever thought of being a minister unto them as Onesiphorus did? Do you refresh them and pray for them? Your answers to these questions will classify you as either belonging to the group of Phygellus and Hermogenes or Onesiphorus. The Lord is seeking for Onesiphorus who will bring refreshing to His servants, working day and night in His vineyard. May you receive the mercy of the Lord as you become an Onesiphorus.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:

The Most High God will make you an Onesiphorus of our time.
