The Book of Philemon

 

Philemon 1:8-10 Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required, yet for love's sake I prefer to appeal to you—I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus— I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I became in my imprisonment.

  When you worship or pray, unseen to your eyes, the Triune God works through the Word, Christ, and Holy Spirit. Answers will ensue when God’s children believe in this fact. The forces of darkness are bound to crumble when you hold onto the Word. If you are unaware of this fact, you will lack strength even if you have received salvation. What content of the book of Philemon must the Remnants remember while meditating and doing forum?

 

1. A Life That No One Can Teach
  Remnants have been living their lives without being properly taught how. Therefore, it’s possible for them to worry about their studies, future, have difficult family situations, and as a result, feel as if they don’t have any answers. Like so, their time schedules may make it difficult to experience the power of the Gospel. Thus, it’s important to learn about the power of the Gospel through world history, church history, and God’s Word. In fact, God’s Word is the most important. Remnants who realize the Word can serve as leaders who will teach the older generation and the age.

 

2. The Book of Philemon
  For Remnants, there isn’t a greater blessing than being within the evangelists’ prayers. Also, Remnants must have evangelism experience. (Philemon 1:4-7) There’s a need to designate a region (one school and one class) and contemplate about evangelism. (Philemon 1:5-7) Moreover, there’s no reason for Remnants to worry and think of themselves as “nobodies” because God even raised a once convicted criminal, Onesimus, as an evangelist. (Philemon 1:8-22) Furthermore, among the true heretics, falsely-accused heretics, and those who made people into heretics, you must know the flow of history in which the falsely labeled individuals were, in fact, the ones who moved the age. (Philemon 1:23-25) Paul wrote the book of Philemon, which contains this content, in the midst of his confinement. Remnants, too, must know that the time they face difficulties due to family issues or demanding circumstances are opportunities to leave behind the masterpieces of their lives. (Philemon 1:1-25)

 

3. What the Remnants Must Do First
  Remnants must accurately understand the Gospel. David said, “The Lord is my Shepherd, (totality) I shall not want.” (sufficiency) Moreover, he confessed that he would dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (eternalness) As a basis of this, if you hold onto the C.V.D.I.P. that matches your talents and specialty, you will experience the answers of “re-creation.”

 

[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, may I not be deceived by hardships. Make my problems into masterpieces, and help me to enjoy the blessings of re-creation by discovering my talents and specialty within my C.V.D.I.P.
