“WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!”
LIVE IN PRAYER
1 Peter 4:7 ESV
[7] The end of all things is at hand (2Timothy 3:1-5,Mark 13:8); therefore be self-controlled (focused) and sober-minded (Spiritually observant) for the sake of your prayers (mind of Christ).
IF YOU LIVE IN PRAYER, YOU WILL WALK IN LOVE
1 Peter 4:8 ESV
[8] Above all, keep loving (agape) one another earnestly (stretched out/full speed), since love covers (God covering/man overlooking) a multitude of sins.
IF YOU WALK IN LOVE, YOU WILL BE HOSPITABLE
1 Peter 4:9 ESV
[9] Show hospitality (love strangers) to one another without grumbling.
IF YOU ARE HOSPITABLE, YOU WILL GET TO USE YOUR GIFTS FOR GOD
1 Peter 4:10-11a ESV
[10] As each has received a gift (Rom 12/ Eph 4 / 1 Cor 12), use it to serve one another (not for self), as good stewards (managers) of God's varied (many colored) grace: [11a] whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies...
IF YOU USE YOUR GIFTS FOR GOD, GOD WILL BE GLORIFIED!
1 Peter 4:11b ESV
[11b]...in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
YOU MUST LIVE IN PRAYER SO YOU CAN WALK IN LOVE...
YOU MUST WALK IN LOVE SO YOU CAN BE HOSPITABLE...
YOU MUST BE HOSPITABLE SO CAN USE YOUR GIFTS FOR GOD...
AND WHEN YOU USE YOUR GIFTS FOR GOD, GOD IS GLORIFIED!
WHEN GOD IS GLORIFIED, HE WILL ONE DAY SAY, “WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!”
