"Till I come, devote yourself to [public and private] reading, to exhortation (preaching and personal appeals), and to teaching and instilling doctrine. Do not neglect the gift which is in you, [that special inward endowment] which was directly imparted to you [by the Holy Spirit] by prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands upon you [at your ordination]. Practice and cultivate and meditate upon these duties; throw yourself wholly into them [as your ministry], so that your progress may be evident to everybody. Look well to yourself [to your own personality] and to [your] teaching; persevere in these things [hold to them], for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you." (1 Timothy 4:13-16 AMP)
Stay built up individually and as a body. Read the Word, pray, and pray in the spirit for yourself, your family, church family, and Pastors! Listen, we were not chosen to just blow around in the wind but given the anchor of the Word, and a guide that cannot get lost in the Holy Spirit.
Love And Blessings!!
