Chris.

One of the main and clear words that describes the dealings of God with His Beloved People is Gentle. The Scriptures tell us that The Ministry of Jesus Christ is a Powerful and yet Gentle Ministry. The Bible teaches Church Leaders to lead their Churches with Gentleness. Husbands are also to be Gentle with their wives. Our tongues are to be Gentle tongues. Let us endeavour to be, and value being, Gentle.

Chris.

We need to endeavour to be strong spiritually. God’s ways of making us strong are quite unique. Firstly, He says that His Joy will make us strong spiritually. We should ask God to give us that Joy. Secondly, His Words tells us that when we are weak that is the time when we can be spiritually strong. Thirdly, God gives us His Holy Spirit to give us strength in our inner man – this is spiritual strength.
