Mothers Day (Hand Me Down Love)

2 Timothy 1:5 (KJV)

5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD

VERY BRIEFLY WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD

AND THE GUIDIANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS

I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT

(HAND ME DOWN LOVE)

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

EACH OF US AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER HAS RECEIVED HAND ME DOWN LOVE

HAND ME DOWN LOVE IS A LOVE THAT

YOUR MOTHER SHARED WE YOU THAT HER MOTHER SHARED WITH HER

FOR WE ALL HAVE HAD OUR FAIR SHARE OF

THE HAND ME DOWN SYNDROME

AND IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD

ALL OF US HAVE EXPERIENCE THE HAND ME

DOWN TRADTION

THE HAND ME DOWN PROVERBS

IT`S A PROVERB THAT GRANDMA TOLD MAMA NOW IS TELLING IT TO YOU

CAN I BORROW A SKINNY MINUTE AND TELL YOU WHAT I`M TALKING ABOUT

I BROUGHT YOU INTO THIS WORLD AND I`LL TAKE YOU OUT

DON`T TALK WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL

CLOSE THE DOOR BEHIND YOU

YOU BETTER PUT YOUR LIPS IN BEFORE I KNOCK THE AIR OUT OF THEM

ROLL THEM AGAIN I`LL KNOCK THEM OUT YOUR HEAD

AND IT`S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND

THAT CHRISTIAN MOTHERS PASS ON MANY

THINGS TO THERE CHILDREN THAT WILL

HELP THEM IN LIFE

IN THE TEXT BEFORE

REVEREND DR PREACH BROTHER PAUL

WRITES AND ENCOURAGE TIMOTHY HIS SON

IN THE FAITH

TO BE STRONG IN THE FAITH

BECAUSE IT WAS A FAITH THAT WAS

HANDED DOWN TO HIM BY HIS MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER

YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

TIMOTHY HAD ONE OF THE GREATEST PRIVILEGES THAT A CHILD CAN HAVE

AND THAT IS STRONG GODLY MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER

FOR HIS MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER

WERE STRONG BELIEVERS WHO WAS WERE

FAITHFUL TO GOD`S WORD EVERYDAY OF THERE LIVES

BUT PAUL WAS ALSO AWARE THAT THE

SINCERE FAITH TIMOTHY HAD WAS

BECAUSE OF THE INFLUENCE OF HIS

MOTHER EUNICE AND HIS GRANDMOTHER

LOIS

IN OTHER WORDS

TIMOTHY WAS NOT LEFT TO GROW LIKE WEEDS

BUT HE WAS NURTURED AND CULTIVATED

LIKE A PLANT THAT WAS EXPECTED TO BRING FORTH FRUIT

BECAUSE EUNICE AND LOIS PASS ON TO HIM

SPIRITUAL VALUES THAT WOULD MAKE HIS LIFE FRUITFUL FOR TIME AND ETERNITY

YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

IT`S NOTHING WRONG WITH WANTING YOUR CHILD TO GET A GOOD EDUCATION

IT`S NOTHING WRONG WITH WANTING YOUR

CHILD TO GO TO COLLEGE AND GET DOCRATE DEGREE

TO BE A DOCTOR –LAWYER OR A NURSE OR EVEN A EGINENEER

BUT AS A PARENT WE OUGHT TO MAKE SURE OUR CHILDREN GET A B—A—B- –DEGREE

AND THAT IS A BORN AGAIN BELIVER

DEGREE

WE OUGHT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE

ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE WORD OF

GOD AND WASH IN THE BLOOD OF THE

LAMB

IN OTHER WORDS WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM

SOME HAND ME DOWN LOVE

WELL THE 1ST THING I NOTICE

IS THE SEED OF FAITH THAT WAS PLANTED IN TIMOTHY LIFE

YOU SEE MY BROTHER AND SISTERS

FROM THE DAY HE WAS BORN

TIMOTHY HAD A CONSTANT REMINDER OF THE IMPORTANCE OF FAITH

AND THAT REMINDER WAS HIS NAME

BECAUSE TIMOTHY MEANS (GOD -FEARING)

EUNICE AND LOIS KNEW THEY COULD NOT

PUT THE FRUIT OF FAITH IN TIMOTHY`S LIFE

BUT THEY BOTH KNEW IF THEY PLANTED

THE SEED AND KEPT ON WATERING IT WITH

THE WORD OF GOD

THAT THE SEED WOULD BLOSSOM INTO FAITH

AND SHE PLANTED THE SEED BY GIVING

HIM A NAME WHICH MEAN (GOD FEARER)

*******************************************

****************************

WELL NOT ONLY DID THEY PLANT A SEED

BUT THE TEXT ALSO REVEAL THAT THERE HOME WAS A SCHOOL OF FAITH

PAUL AFFIRMS THIS BY TELLING TIMOTHY

THAT FROM INFANCY HE HAD KNOWN THE

HOLY SCRIPTURES

IN OTHER WORDS

TIMOTHY GREW UP IN A HOME THAT WAS A

SPIRITUAL LEARNING CENTER WHERE THEY

TAUGHT HIM ABOUT FAITH IN GOD

IN OTHER WORDS

THEY TAUGHT HIM

FAITH …THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPE

FOR

FAITH …THE THINGS WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE FROM GOD

FAITH…THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN

FAITH …THE PROOF WE ONLY HAVE BY BELIEVING

FAITH THAT’S ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN

JESUS AS LORD AND SAVIOR

FAITH THAT DOSENT DWELL ON

YESTERDAYS TROUBLES AND IT DOSE`NT FOCUS ON TOMORROWS PROBLEMS

BUT IT FOCUS ON WALKING WITH JESUS ONE DAY AT A TIME

AND YOU DO KNOW THAT FAITH COMES BY HEARING THE WORD OF GOD

THEY TAUGHT HIM THE WORD OF GOD

*******************************************

**********************************

WELL NOT ONLY DID THEY PLANT A SEED

AND THERE HOME WAS A SCHOOL OF FAITH BUT THE TEXT ALSO REVEALS THAT HIS

GRANDMOTHER LOIS AND HIS MOTHER

EUNICE WERE A LIVING EXAMPLE OF

PUTTING THERE BELIEF INTO ACTION
