His Word

Acts 20:28, NIV

Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with His own blood.

Acts 20:28, NIV

This is what Paul said to the Ephesians leaders as he leaves them and go to another place to preach the gospel. He carefully reminded them to keep watch over themselves. He knows that things won’t be easy. Following Jesus will require sacrifices that will test and help your faith grow. That’s why, He is telling them to take good care of the flock that the Holy Spirit entrusted to them. Let this also be a reminder for us. Just like the leaders in Ephesians, we also need someone like Paul who would remind us of our responsibilities in the presence of God. So let this motivate us to take good care of those people that God entrusted to us.

I pray that you will continue to serve God by also serving the people that the Holy Spirit has made you overseers.
