What was Apostle Paul’s thorn in the flesh?

By Apostle Tonya

Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. Galatians 4:15

Surely, I might say, that after our Holy Christ met Apostle Paul on the road to Damascus, that is when our Lord manifested blindness in the eyes of Paul for three days, lies perhaps a most stunning revelation.

And so, may it well so agree with the Spirit of God to revealeth that thereafter the Apostle Paul may have endured a most humbling obstruction in his eyesight? Galatians 4:15

Might this hath been the thorn in the flesh to humble the great, Apostle Paul?

Christ and His Closest Friends

By Apostle Tonya

Might it be well for today’s teaching if we entereth in the blessedness of our most Holy Christ’s presence abounding in thanksgiving for the gift of eternal life?

Now let us begin with reading this passage recorded in the Book of Luke, the beloved physician.

The sacred passage reads:

And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves. St. Luke 22:17

For a moment, might I speaketh on the most dramatic imagery of the Son of the Highest in the midst of feasting with His Disciples during Passover? I gather it shall also be well if we remembereth that these twelve privileged men were also our Lord’s Sons.

Let us also behold for a moment with awe this historical time on Earth when the very Son of God walked the Earth! For it is most astounding to imagine Jesus Christ, the Son of the Highest, training ordinary men, whom He chose to ordain as apostles on the mountain.

I gather in remembrance of Christ’s labor and time spent with His apostles; we may conclude then that beyond question eleven were also the Son of God’s friends on the Earth over two-thousand years ago.

And so, with deliberate reverence for the Deity of Christ, I shall say peradventure two of the Disciples were the Blessed Master’s closest friends: John and Peter!

How was Life on Earth during Christ’s Ministry?

By Apostle Tonya

Most surely, it hath been most exciting preparing for the online courses about our Holy Master!

And so, I shall say, ‘How was life on Earth during Christ’s Ministry?’ shall be an 3-hour virtual class! The enrollment shall be opened on Wednesday, September 23rd.

The Epistles to the Thessalonians

By Apostle Tonya

In apostolic authority, Paul, by God, the Holy Spirit established governmental order with the brethren with a bold commandment in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In echoing the Lordship of the Son of God’s earthly ministry, the apostle commands the brethren to withdraw from what was seemingly a report of disorderly brothers. It appeareth the men were not receiving the truth of the Gospel and were insubordinate of the Word.

Admirably, Paul, continueth on in these passages with what was a most powerful voice of authority. In this, the apostle chose to principally remindeth the Thessalonians of how holily and justly his fellow co-laborers and he had behaved during his establishment of the church.

Esther: Bible Commentary

By Apostle Tonya

Surely, we might conclude it was the blessedness of Esther’s humility, obedience, and suffering wherefore our Sovereign God decided to use in His Plan to save the Jews.

For such a time, Esther was sent to win the heart of the Persian king, Ahasuerus. In its magnificence, conspiracies, and plots, this foremother of faith invariably pleased her Lord and fulfilled a most dramatic and historic Divine assignment.

The Glory Prayer Center

By Apostle Tonya

Most surely, the Holy Bible inherently remindeth us as Believers of Christ how to serve and labor in prayer as our Blessed Master taught His disciples in the Gospels of God.

Continuing on, I shall say over the past years there hast been a most profound verse wherefore I hath principally meditated on in planning thy Lord’s will for a prayer call line in the ministry.

In the fullness of the vision whereby our Holy Christ granted, ‘The Glory Prayer Center’ shall be able to connect those with heavenly assignments to pray with the ministry as they pray led by the Eternal Spirit of God.

Might it now be well to returneth to the passage whereby I hath spake of above? For I shall say it is recorded in Galatians 6:10. The sacred text reads: ‘As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.’

In conclusion, I may say in the Master’s lovingkindness He hath granted me the blessedness of His will to openeth the ministry’s prayer call line. Principally, in its genesis season, it shall be opened remotely for a certain number of hours in the mornings.

Thank you most kindly, dearest friends!

The Disciples: Apostle Paul and Timotheus

By Apostle Tonya

I may say, Apostle Paul’s spiritual and intellectual assurance in Timotheus resulted in a wise strategy that ensured Paul’s safety and fellowship, comfort, and strength to the church from his co-laborer. 1 Thessalonians 3

In speaking for a moment on the hindrances of satan, might we considereth that perhaps the enemy was not most threatened by Timotheus?

And so, let us remembereth even still the enemy’s knowledge is limited, and with the wisdom of Christ within us, the deceiver’s conspiracies shall fail.

The Final Week of Christ

By Apostle Tonya

Surely, I am most thankful to provideth an update of a new online course about our Dearest Master, wherefore is entitled ‘The Final Week of Christ!’

And so, I shall say the enrollment for this holy course on Christ hast began.

Thank you most kindly, everyone!

Esther

By Apostle Tonya

Peradventure, as women reading the Book of Esther, we hath endured tender moments beholding our own fragility and freedom as we observed our Lord’s silence in injustice. And, there are occasions in the sacred passages of Esther that we certainly felt most encouraged and strengthened by His righteousness, justice, and the victory.

Christ and the Miracle of the Blind Man

By Apostle Tonya

I might say, that is in speaking of Christ and the miracle of the blind man; it appeareth the parents of the blind man were most affrighted of the Jewish leaders. St. John 9

Peradventure, it was that the theologians during this ancient time of Rabboni’s earthly Ministry principally vowed to spread their rejection of Christ as the Son of God.

Chiefly, these leaders were most audacious with their threats toward those whose hearts were turning toward belief in Christ. In their opposition to our Lord’s Ministry, they fundamentally concluded that any persons who confessed Jesus was the Son of God were to be put out of the synagogue.

And so, how might we be encouraged as believers of Christ not to be intimidated by the adversary who may seeketh to silence us as we witness that Jesus Christ is Lord?
