WEDNESDAY: ENTRUST TO FAITHFUL PEOPLE
KEY PASSAGE
"And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others."
DEVOTIONAL
Paul writes to Timothy, “Entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others also.” In one simple sentence, we see God’s plan to multiply disciples. The Gospel message is not simply meant to be received by us; it is meant to travel through us.
Paul was not telling Timothy to preach to large crowds, but to invest deeply in faithful people. The kingdom of God does not grow exclusively through platforms; it multiplies through discipleship. Disciples make disciples. What we have received from Christ in our walk with Him, we are called to pass on to others around us intentionally.
To entrust means to place something valuable into another’s care. The gospel is a treasure. When we invest in people we participate in something that outlives us: lives transformed for generations. Just as Peter declared in Acts 2:38-39 - this promise transcends those who immediately receive this promise; it is for you and your children, and all who are far off.
Who has God placed in your life to nurture? A child, a coworker, a new believer, a friend? Spiritual impact often looks ordinary and unseen. Yet every conversation rooted in Christ can echo into eternity.
CHALLENGE
Ask God for one person to intentionally invest in this season. And in conversation with them, ask them these three questions:
What is God teaching you in this season?
Where do you feel challenged in your walk?
Who are you currently influencing spiritually?
