Fan into Flame our Gifts

Read 2 Timothy 1:1-10

Reflection of Tommy:

This second letter to Timothy is probably the last words we have from Paul. In it, Paul who considers Timothy as his own ‘son’ was encouraging him to preserve and be bold in proclaiming the gospel despite the great opposition and persecution at that time. In telling Timothy to “fan into flame the gift of God”, Paul was guiding him to fully use the gifts God has given him with the help and power of the Holy Spirit.

As Christian, we too need to fan into flame the gifts God has given to us. We should not hide our light because of timidity or fear of rejection from others, but to be bold guided by the Holy Spirit to plant gospel seeds wherever God has placed us at.

Dear Father, thank You for reminding me not to shy away or easily give up in my sharing with others. Teach me not to do it alone but to be guided by the Spirit and the help of others. Guide me to follow the Spirit’s leading each day, to be more fully displays the power, love and self-discipline as a good witness and true disciple for Christ. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
