Day 14 of 40 Days of Prayer: Teach Others What You Know

Though we have eternal life in Christ, our earthly voyages are limited, and every generation is mortal.  Nevertheless, while we have limited physical longevity, we can  keep our spiritual heritage alive by entrusting what we have learned in our walk of faith to others who follow our path.  Paul called his faithful student Timothy to follow the example Paul had set for him with these words,
“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” (2 Timothy 2:2).
In the course of your walk of faith, invite someone else to walk alongside you.  Pass on the knowledge you gain in your experiences and studies to someone else. Be intentional.  Take opportunities to pray with them, meet them over coffee, share meals and just hang out to pass along the wisdom and insights you have gleaned from your personal walk with Jesus.


It is a wonderful to grow in one’s personal walk with Jesus. It is even better to help someone else grow to increased maturity, strengthening the legacy of faith for generations to come.
