The Grace of God that Brings Salvation

Titus 2

This chapter focuses on the themes of Teaching, Mentorship, and Living a Life that Reflects Faith, Integrity, and Love.

We are called to live with integrity, reflecting the values of sound doctrine. Paul's letter encourages believers to guide one another through mentorship and discipleship, with older men and women setting an example for the younger ones. This message reminds us of the importance of teaching, not just through words, but through our actions.
(v2), Older men are called to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and endurance. Setting examples of a perfect Christian living as the heads of the household.
(v3-5), Older women, on the other hand, are equally urged to be reverent in character, attitudes, and behavior, avoiding gossip and excessive indulgence, while teaching younger women to love their families and live with purity and sanity of mind.
(v6-8), Young men are admonished to be self-controlled, with an emphasis on integrity and seriousness in everything they do.
(v9-10), Even slaves, as well as employees in today's equivalent context at their workplaces, are charged to show respect to their masters making the teachings of God attractive by their behavior. They shouldn't be thinking of being higher than their masters. 
This book of Titus, especially the heart of chapter 2, teaches of the GRACE OF GOD that has appeared, offering salvation to all people and teaching us to live upright and godly lives (V11-12). We are to eagerly await the return of Christ while living in a way that glorifies Him in the present.
This passage challenges us to embrace a life that aligns with our faith and to be intentional about mentoring others. Whether we are young or old, in positions of authority or servitude, we have the opportunity to make God's grace known through the way we live and lead.

    It's the grace of God that brings salvation to all men not by human effort

WHAT DO YOU TAKE MARRIAGE FOR?

 MARRIAGE IS LIKE A SHOE. "MARRIAGE is like a shoe. When you wear oversize, be ready to drag it along throughout life, and when you wear under-size, be ready to feel the pains throughout life".  One thing about marriage is that you don't drop your shoe or remove it at any point, no matter how painful or stressful it is. That is why I thought it necessary to write you this letter.  Dear Singles, When you are ready to buy your shoe please take note of these three things:  PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Do not look for the beautiful ones, the nice ones, or the cheap ones. Look for the one that is your size. Not every handsome, wealthy, or intelligent guy is for you; not every beautiful woman is for you. Look for the one that is meant for you, the one that aligns with your values and beliefs, the one who you meet on your life's journey. It is important to know where you're going in life before you think of getting a wife.  POSITION: All sizes of shoes are not placed in the sa...

 Food for thought... 1. Wedding rice tastes nice until cooked in your compound, and the cost is on you. 2. ⁠When the axe came to the forest, the trees said The handle is one of us. Until they felt its cuts: BETRAYAL IS always within. 3. ⁠When a kid grows up, a pencil is replaced by a pen, to make the kid realize that now it is not easy to erase the mistake. 4. ⁠One day, the ground we walk on will be our roof. 5. ⁠If loyalty were real, water is not supposed to cook the fish. 6. ⁠People don’t abandon people they love. They abandon the people they are using. 7. ⁠How I wish RIP means Return If Possible. 8. ⁠One sad truth about life is that you may not even be part of the future you’re stressed about. 9. ⁠The day you lose your father is the day you will realize that you have lost the only man who wanted to see you better than him. 10. ⁠The sheep lived all her life, fearing the wolf, but it was the shepherd who finally ate it. 11. ⁠When we were kids, we cried loudly to be noticed.
