‘Humility Precedes Honour.’
a) Proverbs 18:12; 15:33; 1 Peter 5:5. It is what the Word of God says.
b) Job 42:10. Humility exercised in Praying for other people, even people who have hurt us.
c) Isaiah 6:5-9; Daniel 9:20 & 23. Humility exercised in repentance precedes Anointed Ministry.
(Through this QT I find that Humility Precedes Honour)

‘The Apostle’s Desire For The People He Serves.’
Colossians 2:2.
a) That through his Ministry their hearts may be comforted and encouraged.
b) That they be knit together in Love.
c) That they might have the riches of the full assurance of Understanding.
d) That they may know the Mystery of God – Christ.
(This Second one shows me The Apostle’s Desire For The People He Serves)

Chris.
Not only Apostles, but I believe all the Ephesians mentioned Ministry Gifts of Christ have a strong desire to see the True Believers have hearts that are comforted and encouraged. This Book, the Book of Colossians, is an easy to understand and very clear challenge showing us how to live as True Believers. Comfort and encouragement do not just come from “feeling good”, they come from receiving Truth.
