Acts 21: 8-9 NIV
[8] Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven.
[9] He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.

A ride through the book of Acts
(Seek to balance ministry and family)
My attention is in a special way attracted to something mentioned in this piece of Scripture that is unique and deserving special attention!!

Am attracted to the fact that as to why the careful writer of the book of Act of Apostles has to specifically mention that;
1. Philip was an Evangelist
2. All his 4 daughters were *un married* though anyway they could prophesy!!
The Holy Spirit through the writer of the book puts little weight on the fact that these girls, daughters of a powerful minister of the Gospel could prophesy!!! The Bible actually pays little attention to that good fact which every minister of God even today earnestly believes God for to have his children follow footsteps and serve the same God he serves!!

instead the Bible throws much weight on totally another hidden fact about this ministers Grown up children and who were all girls!!! *that they were all un married*!!!

By mentioning it out, the Holy Spirit wanted us the readers to understand that ;

The evangelist was a married man which is good!!

He was a father of 4 children all girls

The 4 girls were already in the age bracket for marriage but anyway, they were all not yet married something that deserved special attention!!

Their being un married was not part of their call into the ministry of prophesy! or else it wouldn't have been mentioned!

Meaning that the powerful renown evangelist, only whom has ever moved in space at speed of light just bse of evangelism still had a reproach of Egypt! All his daughters, fully grown were un married!!

This drives us as Bible teachers and students to derive special learning and cautious conclusions from the family and life of this great minister of the Gospel;

1. Philip neglected praying with and for his children to prosper socially!

2. Philip neglected socializing his children as girls to prepare them for social responsibilities particularly need for marriage, when and how.

3. Philip possibly kept his children away from open scene, from the stage as girls for them to be noticed by potential men basically among those in same ministry team who could have married them off and Philip would have served a contented man being honored a father in law, and a grand father.

4. Evangelist Philip's daughters possibly considered not marriage an essential blessing and they probably thought that serving God alone as prophets pleased God enough and better than them getting married!!

5. Possibly Philip used to leave his daughters home, when he was always moving on several missionary journeys where his daughters would have easily created friends, would have been seen and noticed for marriage!!

Brothers and sisters, it's a blessing, a privilege, an honor, a big big honor for any family to have their daughter married off and more so married off in holy matrimony where his is pleased.

Yes, it bse of ignorance and foolishness that Satan instigates/plants for his own evil reasons that so many married girls today are seen daily messing up their blessings, behaving as though they helped their husbands to marry them, behaving in a way to show that any time they can even quit the marriage, and others abusing terribly their marriages/husbands.

God created a woman for man!! No woman unless there is something under the carpet which is seriously wrong should be without a husband in her entire life!!
What we see among Catholics , is a total violation of God's plan and purpose!!
Those women they create into Nuns in convents are supposed to be people's wives somewhere and people's mother's breastfeeding children!! and God reserves a punishment upon those behind such selfish wicked schemes in the name of religion!!

Every woman is supposed to be some man's flower, a source of joy and smile to a certain man somewhere!! This is God's purpose of creation for her!!

It's our responsibility as parents to prepare intentionally our children from childhood for this divine social responsibility and that when they grow up they won't bring us shame but pride and honor.
We should preach the Gospel while reserving time for our families particularly our children!!

Women who are reading this devotion, I beseech you to ask God help you change and real transform into the original image of the woman God created and be that in your home and marriage!!!

Are you really a flower in that man's home and bedroom!!

Are you really a prepared crown to your husband bringing him honor and joy

If parents didn't prepare you enough for this life, do you give any room to learn and adjust looking upon and listening to sensible people in society!!!

It's important as a ministry we also pray always for our yet married girls but who are mature enough for marriage so that they receive it. This month of August I call upon us all on our daily family alters remember and make mention to God every lady we have in BTWM, and any mature girl you have in your family, ready for marriage but yet not yet married for any reasons!!!

Ladies, stop, stop,stop, taking your marriage as a joking arena, a TV soap, a comedy etc!! stop destroying your own marriage by your own hands simply bse of stubbornness, un correctable spirit, greed, abusiveness, laziness and disrespectful behaviors to your husband!!!
nothing is as foolishness as the I don't care mind and attitude accompanied with care less behaviors in your own home and marriage.

Let us raise our children intentionally for better marriages, a life better than we have today.

Be blessed

DEAR ALL BELOVED
This morning, allow me share something that has put lots of heaviness and more anger than it has already been;

1. It has broken down and destroyed marriages!

2. It has separated and destroyed great friendships!

3. It has made deception and hypocrisy plus treachery very simple for many of us!

4. It has turned some of us very powerful and arrogant towards our spouses, parents and society leaders

5. It has made some of us behave like secret service men/women in our own homes, bedrooms and Church

6. It has gradually snatched away our attention, ears, hearts , mind, and love for our God and His service!

7. It has turned some of us a real nuisance in our marriages, families, at work places and in Church fellowships!

8. It has earned itself the most valuable, treasured and falsely indispensable enemy so dear to our hearts than anything else!

9. It has become to many of us a real treasured, heavily guarded and protected Dagon in our lives and homes

10. I have heard and seen mothers warning and with much gravity cautioning their own Biological children even as young as 2yrs of age with death consequences if the Child doesn't excuse him/herself from having anything to do with their treasure!

11. Children have been terribly beaten, abused, cursed by their own biological parents just bse of this treasure by simply tampering with it or misplacing it!

12. It has shockingly reached not only our bedrooms but into our beds even when we have our God given spouses inside the very beds!!

13. To some, it has replaced s*x intimacy time among marrieds bse of its being indispensable! and most valuable asset in the house and in our lives!

14. Some can lose a spouse, can lose a child, can lose a marriage, can endure all the pressures, quarrels from marriage partners but when they have remained close to it!!

15. It used to be God, it used to be our spouses, it used to be our children, it used to be our homes first but now as acts 4 says, things have turned upside down as this valuable has taken the center stage, a real idol in our lives!

16. Am talking about something which has of late in this generation become more valuable even to a woman than money in cash!!

17. Am talking about a replacement for Money in our generation as the root of all evils particularly in homes!! in marital homes!!

18. Satan has made it's language so easy, so simple no matter the complexity, that even a total illiterate can quickly learn it's language for usage and can soon become a senior in its operations!!

19. Am talking about something that is broadly responsible for the current stresses, tensions, fights, insecurity, divorce threats, adultery and all sorts of s*xual immorality!!!

20. Something which has been responsible silently for the death of your marriage and family joy, happiness, vibrancy, working together, friendship and trust!!

Even if I don't mention this enemy now, I believe some have already guessed well bse it's evident everywhere in our society we live in!! "THE CELL PHONE" that best friend of yours currently!!
That spouse of yours currently who replaced your real human spouse!!
That source of temporary false happiness for you!! That "smart" phone and is it really smart!!

That phone with possibly some bad pictures or wrong messages, weird missed calls from strangers (the exs, or workmate) which you are protecting and guarding Soo jealously even if it means almost killing someone!

Alot of people's data and airtime especially marrieds goes on totally useless and destructive schemes, activities on these phones!!!
Foreign wicked men and women have penetrated our homes and marriages simply via these phones!!

Someone not a government spy, and neither a business man/woman, and neither a customer service provider of one of the telecom companies, and neither using the phone for any form of positive Church ministry, is found using more time, data, airtime, with even debts on the phone than those who use it for benefit!!

If you have an ear, let this one one mean something to your heart. And change before it's too late to regret.

‭Acts 20:33-35 NIV‬
[33] I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.
[34] You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions.
[35] In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive'.

A ride through the book of Acts
(You will find divine ministry very hard.)
Without giving materialy bse of any reason whether it's due to stinginess or lack/inability, you will find administration of your mother ministry gift very very hard and most times resisted among the people!!

Jesus demonstrated this so much in His earthly 3.5yrs ministry! Through His teachings encouraging people to give to the hungry neighbor what to eat, to give one of your two coats to your neighbor who has none, when His conference audience got hungry, He fade them with physical fish and bread etc etc.

The more you act Mr/Mrs or Ms calculator in material things and finances, the more people will distance themselves from you and your ministering no matter how much anointing flows on you!

And you can't give what you don't have neither what doesn't belong to you!

For this reason, Ap. Paul not to minister an empty Gospel and toil for nothing, he always looked for ways of having something in his pockets and he says purposely for his teammates as well as himself.

Whether you are a preacher of the word in any of the five fold office ministries, or you are an intercessor, a worship team leader, Sunday school teacher, serving in Church administration etc, if you you have no plans to give materialy, them also don't plan to present yourself anywhere in any area of divine service.

Be blessed.

Acts 20: 32 NIV
[32] “Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

A ride through the book of Acts
(Where do you point people to!)
Even at the climax of his service among them, and as he summed up his mentorship training process of several ministers, he still had nowhere else and nothing else to entrust or point the people to except to God and most importantly the word of His grace as still their only leaning wall/support and sure backup and best source of nourishment for their growth and development.

He had options like; he would have told them to work so much and save a lot for better life, but didn't!!
He would have encouraged them to study a lot and become academicians in Christian theology but didn't!
He would have prayed a blessing upon them to become rich and wealthy but didn't!
Instead he entrusted them to the word of grace that it's what they needed to grow.

Where you are, what do you receive?
And where you minister, what do you teach people and to what do you point them to!

Be blessed.

Acts 20: 29-31 NIV
[29] I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
[30] Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.

[31] So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.

A ride through the book of Acts
(Farewell precautionary message of a mentor)
Today, I call upon us those interested and always enjoying our devotions to examine this piece of Scripture in the devotion and carefully with depth of thought analyze it for our general learning.

Pse, after reading through carefully share with us on this simple question;
1. Why do you think according to Ap. Paul , from his precautionary message to the young Pastors, the savage wolves from outside and the internal counterfeits were only expected to arise after his departure? Why could this not happen when he was still in charge? Why could they not rise up in his presence as the resident shepherd?

2. What precautionary messages do you derive out of this warning to help you stand and succeed in running a dynamic vibrant and strong ever increasing ministry today?

If you are already a shepherd/ministry leader in Church, and you received a certain leadership mantle at one time from your mentor, if you are to be accounted today, have you maintained, added on, made better or destroyed, carelessly lost what he/she handed over into your hands!
Are you replicating positively your father/mentor or you are writing a history book of once upon a time!

Be blessed.

Acts 20: 28 NIV
[28] Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.

A ride through the book of Acts
(Farewell message is ever key!)
He had quite a good time in this region preaching, teaching, training and encouraging believers and particularly Ministers of the Church.

They had benefited alot from his mentorship but time had come for him now to push on and move to other regions still for the work of ministry.
However, as any parent or mentor who is about to leave, he had to give his last words in his farewell speech and which he expected none of them to ever forget. And these words are for the entire Church till today if any minister wishes to see good success in service; His farewell speech had 3 important and indispensable messages to us all who will ever be put in any ministry service;
1. Watch over yourselves; meaning that don't do service beyond care for your own self!! And the enemy is more interested in you than your serving. So work out your own salvation daily, and also care for your life to stay sound and standing.

2. Watch over the flock the Holy Spirit has put you in charge. Meaning; you have responsibility to look after those souls God entrusts in your care as a servant of God remembering that you didn't call yourself into service, but God did!! The people you are serving are not yours, but of God and gathered into your hands under your care not by you but by God Himself.

3. Be shepherds to the Church, not wolves, not entertainers, not competitors, not business men/women but ; feeders, protectors, guides, mentors and teachers. Doing all this remembering that this Church you are handling, costed Christ (the Chief Shepherd) His very life on earth and He shed His Blood for it! So, don't play selfish games with it bse you will give account.
As we do our serving today in various areas of ministry in Church, do we put into account these 3 important messages? Do you really As a minister of the word, worship minister, musician, administration, intercession or any other ministry of helps!

Be blessed.

Acts 20: 25-27 NIV
[25] “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again.
[26] Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you.
[27] For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.

A ride through the book of Acts
(Do you give it all or you sparingly serve!)
By the close of his ministry days, Ap. Paul was lucky to have served so effectively and un reserving to be able to boldly and confidently affirm that among those God had sent him to serve, no one's blood had remained on his hands and he had struggled well at any cost to to deliver and expound to them the entire Will of God.

In the ministry, Church, and Church or ministry departments where you have so far been or passed, how do you administer your gift!! How do you perform your ministry? How much efforts are you putting in to ensure that the Will of God is delivered to your audience!

With the current 15 minutes sermons today, how long can one ever take to deliver even just a quarter of the revealed Will of God! With our excuses of busy schedules and and no time attitude, when will you ever reach that time to confidently say that "I have delivered the whole Will of God to you"! And that "your blood is no longer on my hands!

Brethren, let us stop excuses and laziness in serving God!!
Let us serve God with all our hearts, souls, bodies,energy

Be blessed.

Acts 20: 22-24 NIV
[22] “And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
[23] I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.
[24] However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

A ride through the book of Acts
(What is your core life purpose as a minister?)
One Christian literature writer one time published a book with a title "Purpose driven life"! Millions have bought and read this book but yet still live lives with lots of big question marks as to why they continue to exist as Christians!!!

Ap. Paul our greatest mentor in ministry always never considered any worth in his life and possessions but rather lived majorly for the call to of God upon his life!!

To Ap. Paul, utilizing any given opportunity for spreading the fame of Christ was far much beneficial and worth living for than spending much of the time, building his own life agenda and name!!

Be blessed.
