Today’s Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 5 November 2022

Read vs.17‐20 again and note carefully how the apostle Paul regards his ministry. He had just arrived from one of his missionary journeys and was back in Jerusalem to report to the elders of the church. We learn two lessons from this action of Paul: ? Our ministries in the church are subject to the leadership of the church ? It is our duty to report in detail, the progress and challenges we face in our ministries to our church leadership.

It is the reason supporters insist on field reports from gospel workers. It encourages sustained prayer, giving, accountability, and shows that God answers prayer (v.20a). Vs.20b‐25: The Jerusalem brethren gave Paul good counsel with genuine intentions, and he complied (v.26). This should ordinarily have proved that, “there is no truth in these reports” by critics. He performed religious rituals in the temple with other Jews.

Paul’s own principle was to be “all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some” (1 Corinthians 9:19‐23). Unfortunately, not all good intentions have good outcomes. Nevertheless, we must never shift from righteousness just to save our skin or do things because they work. Jesus warns that risks would accompany the gospel (John 16:33).

Practice/Word Application
So what? Do you know your ministry? If so, how dedicated are you to the Lord?

• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?

Closing Prayer
• Pray for missionaries labouring on the field especially those serving in hostile environment.

Prayer for the week
• Pray for deliverance and guidance for your family. Pray against any wrong decision that might affect your family in the future. Ask God for wisdom in all your dealings with the world.

Offer a prayer of faith in line with
Isaiah 45:6; Song of Songs 4, 5; Proverbs 11; Psalms 105
