2 Timothy 2:2
And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also
When we are taught we are to take that knowledge and wisdom poured out from the teacher and impart it to others. We are to store it in our storehouses so that when the time comes we will be able to teach it. We never know when the time our opportunity to teach others will come. Prior to coming home I had no desire to teach in my church. But with certain events taking place that were very vulnerable I have been convicted to ask my church if I can teach the young girls in youth group. I know God wants me to but my flesh does not want to. I know God has brought me through struggles to empathize with others and be encouraging in the same faith that we share. Not everyone is a teacher but I know if God has called me to teach at my church I am to do it.

Application: pray for me that I have enough faith and boldness to teach and ask my church.

Philippians 4:8-9

Philippians 4:8-9   Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9  What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.  So the past week we have had the PFM team from Montana here in Uganda for the Pastor’s conference. It was a radical week. So many things were taken place and the spirit was really moving through every one of us as we went there as a team. As I got there I really knew the Lord was going to work in my heart. But little did I know he was going to work in my mind. The whole week the enemy was putting lies and doubts in my head. One day Jojo asked me how I was doing and I explained this to her. She then gave me this verse. I needed to combat the enemy with whatever was true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, comme

Luke 21:19

Luke 21:19 By your endurance gain your lives. Our Christian life is a race. We are to run the race with endurance and with patience looking unto Jesus.  In a race only one runner receives a prize. I have had the privilege to see my dad train for marathons. He is disciplined with what he eats and how he trains his body for the race. He faithfully wakes up every morning preparing to run those 26.2 miles. Watching him train for this life time achievement is filled with hardships like injuries or time management but it is worth it in the end to cross that finish line. But in a marathon there is only one winner. And my dad has not won the marathon (he is 56 years old). But I have also had the privilege to work a water stop at mile 20 which is the home stretch. I have handed water to the elite runners and one of them received that prize of being the first one to cross the finish line. And as Christians, we are to run the race to win. We are to go all out for Christ Jesus. Paul likes to

Philippians 3:9

Philippians 3:9   and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— As followers of Jesus Christ we are not under the law. Christ coming down from heaven as man allows us to live under the new covenant. In the Sermon on the Mount it shows that the old covenant was based on laws and rituals. Jesus shows the contrast of how the Pharisees act (old covenant) and how Christians are to act (new covenant). Jesus talks about the Pharisees and their righteousness which contrasts to our righteousness with the new covenant which is between man and God. We are under grace now since Jesus died on the cross. When we have faith that he did indeed do that, we are found in Him. We are sanctified also through Jesus. We are made holy and set apart when we are washed by the blood of Christ. He does not want us to live a hypocritical life like the pharisees and live wanting
