Besides the other instructions that the brothers of Paul’s day had to follow, God´s love wanted to use them to admonish the troublemakers. On the human side, that is not easy to accomplish, because the one who is disobedient does not want to receive any guidance. However, because we have the Holy Spirit, we know and believe that, with the Lord’s help, we will manage to save the rebellious one.
We cannot accept any disturbance in the house of God, so we must act with wisdom from on High. If it´s only up to man, it will be difficult to transform agitators into Jesus´ disciples. We have seen the Lord work all kinds of blessings and transformations in people tormented by unclean spirits. The most important thing is to see their life in order!
Many are discouraged and cannot enjoy God’s promises. Now, that is what the devil tells you. Actually, the Most High wishes to transform everyone into successful individuals. If we begin to comfort those discouraged with the same comfort with which we were comforted, they will experience everything the Lord has in store for them.
The person receives something according to their understanding of the Word, or from what they are taught. If she lacks resources, her pastor is likely to preach resignation and not the work of Elijah´s God, as it happened in the widow’s life, when the oil and flour where multiplied (1 Kings 17:14). It´s not the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven that those of little courage have heard, but a defeated theology speech. However, understand one thing: God delights in the good spirits of His servants!
The weak ones are another group that can alter their behavior by listening to the preaching of God’s promises. The Lord Himself reveals that the weak must declare themselves to be strong (Joel 3:10). Your inability to listen and live the Word can make you stumble. However, the Lord is our Strength (Psalm 27:1) and we must fear Him. Now, if we fail to emphasize such truths, the enemy will do his wicked work in the church.
Let us sustain the weak with our mighty faith in Christ and urge everyone to let themselves be used by God. The lack of faith being ministered generates some weaknesses among us. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God(Romans 10:17). If they are told to carry on in the Name of Jesus against evil, they will soon be conquerors.
Patience is the greatest hallmark that Christ is in us, and the devil tempts us so that we become impatient with others, especially with the weak ones in faith, who do not understand that the trial they are going through will result in blessed harvests of grace in their lives. The man of God smust never be impatient, but follow the best example: Jesus!
In Christ, with love,

God, our Commander! We are ready to obey You, love and fulfill Your mission for our life. Our testimony needs to improve. Those that know that we are Your servants will see Your love in us.
Help us to admonish those who are not yielding. Discouraged ones need to understand: our Source of power can change their lives for the better. We want to carry out Your will in Your love.
The weak must be sustained in order not to be discouraged and miss their salvation. Serving You is so rewarding, so we ask that we receive the strength to be patient even with those who disturb us. Lord! We want to love You!
