Scripture Union Daily Guide 27th April 2026 – Outline
Like a retiring General, Paul dished out his final orders to one of his trusted soldiers, Timothy. Read 2 Timothy 4:1-2 again and take note of the details of Paul’s charge to Timothy. Why was this charge necessary (2 Timothy 4:3-4)? See the next set of orders in 2 Timothy 4:5. One of the five ministry offices is that of an Evangelist (see Ephesians 4:11).
Some scholars likened it to the middle finger of our hands which is often the longest of the five to depict how important it is (1 Corinthians 9:16, Romans 1:15,16). Paul’s charge to Timothy reminds us that preaching is not for Pastors alone, but an assignment for all believers (cf. Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16), and it is an urgent task. Our hearers today will not always be there.
We are therefore called to be prompt in obedience to this Holy Spirit’s command despite the prevailing situation. This requires endurance, faithfulness and commitment, given the attitude of the people to sound doctrines that Paul describes in 2 Timothy 4:3-4. Paul was confident about finishing well (2 Timothy 4:6-8). If your life were ending today, could you say the same?
