为教会祷告，神的话语的传讲：

愿神话语的传讲能够仔细地遵照圣经的意思讲、顺从圣灵的引导讲。（三之一）

提摩太后书 4:2

“务要传道，无论得时不得时，总要专心，并用百般的忍耐，各样的教训，责备人、警戒人、劝勉人。”

思考题：如何在不同的情况下（无论得时不得时）都能坚持传讲神的话语？

参考答案：

依靠圣灵的力量： 圣经告诉我们，传讲神的话语不是凭人的力量，而是靠圣灵的引导和帮助。使徒行传 1:8 说： “但圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必得着能力，并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地和撒玛利亚，直到地极，作我的见证。” 依靠圣灵的力量，我们能够在各种环境下勇敢地传讲神的话语。

常常祷告： 祷告是我们与神保持联系的重要途径。以弗所书 6:18 提醒我们：“靠着圣灵，随时多方祷告祈求，并要在此儆醒不倦，为众圣徒祈求。”通过祷告，我们可以得到神的智慧和力量，使我们无论在顺境或逆境中都能忠心传讲神的话语。

坚定信心，不怕挑战： 保罗在哥林多后书 4:8-9 中说： “我们四面受敌，却不被困住；心里作难，却不至失望；遭逼迫，却不被丢弃；打倒了，却不至死亡。” 这段经文鼓励我们在面对困难和挑战时，仍然要保持信心，相信神会保守和引导我们。

以爱心传讲： 传讲神的话语需要有爱心，以温柔和耐心去教导和劝勉他人。哥林多前书 13:1-2 说： “我若能说万人的方言，并天使的话语，却没有爱，我就成了鸣的锣、响的钹一般。我若有先知讲道之能，也明白各样的奥秘，各样的知识，而且有全备的信，叫我能移山，却没有爱，我就算不得什么。” 爱心是传讲神话语的重要基础。

忠于真理： 无论环境如何变化，我们都要忠于神的话语，不随波逐流。约翰福音 8:31-32 记载耶稣的话： “耶稣对信他的犹太人说： ‘你们若常常遵守我的道，就真是我的门徒；你们必晓得真理，真理必叫你们得以自由。’” 坚持传讲真理，使我们在任何情况下都能坚定不移地传扬神的话语。

通过依靠圣灵、常常祷告、坚定信心、以爱心传讲和忠于真理，我们可以在各种情况下坚持传讲神的话语。这不仅使我们的传讲充满力量和果效，也能帮助更多的人认识神的真理，得着属灵的长进。

Pray for the church, The preaching of God's Word: May the preaching of God's Word be done carefully in accordance with the meaning of the Scriptures and in obedience to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. （1 of 3）

2 Timothy 4:2 “Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.”

Question: How can the Word of God be preached consistently in different situations (whether it is in season or out of season)?

Reference Answer:

Rely on the power of the Holy Spirit: The Bible tells us that the Word of God is not preached in human strength, but by the guidance and help of the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:8 says: " But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. " Relying on the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to boldly preach the Word of God in a variety of circumstances.

Pray often: Prayer is an important way for us to keep in touch with God. Ephesians 6:18 reminds us, " And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. " Through prayer, we can receive God's wisdom and strength to faithfully preach God's Word in good times and bad.

Firm in Faith and Unafraid of Challenges: Paul said in 2 Corinthians 4:8-9: " We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. " This passage encourages us to remain confident that God will keep and guide us in the face of difficulties and challenges.

Preach with Love: Preaching the Word of God requires love, gentleness and patience to teach and exhort others. I Corinthians 13:1-2 says, " If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. " Love is an essential foundation for the preaching of God's Word.

Fidelity to the Truth: No matter how circumstances change, we must be faithful to God's Word and not go with the flow. John 8:31-32 records the words of Jesus: " To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Persevering in the preaching of the truth enables us to be steadfast in proclaiming God's Word in all circumstances.

By relying on the Holy Spirit, praying often, being steadfast in faith, preaching in love, and being faithful to the truth, we can persevere in preaching God's Word in every situation. This not only makes our preaching powerful and fruitful, but also helps more people to know God's truth and gain spiritual growth.
