THE APPEARING OF OUR PROFITING TO ALL

OLUBI JOHNSON

1 Timothy 4:15 KJV
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

Meditate on what things? Becoming like God in character and in power or ability.

Godliness is profitable unto all things having the promise of the life that now is and that which is to come (1Tim. 4:8). God wants our profiting as Christians to appear to all men, both Christians and unbelievers in this season of favour (Isa.66:5).

Profiting is not material and financial prosperity alone. The profiting referred to here is prosperity in every area of life; spirit, soul, body, healing and health, material and financial prosperity (3Jn. 1:2).

The incentive to profit is divinely given to man by God, and all creativity and innovation that leads to profit is inspired and led by God (Isa. 45:19; 48:17).

The profiting of the Church and individual saint is advertisement for the gospel. The Church of the end time is destined to become the richest, most powerful financial and material entity in this end time (Isa. 60:5; Hag. 2:7-9).

God wants our profiting to appear before all in this season of remembrance for a witness and, most importantly, to finance the preaching of the gospel to all nations (Matt. 24:14, Isa.45:14).

How will our profiting appear to all? By becoming an Isaac, a child of promise through:

1) Obedience and submission to God and spiritual fathers. Like Isaac submitted wholly to his father Abraham, and the will of God (Gen. 22:9-10).

2) Meditate on divine promises. This brings us to the place of being fully persuaded like Abraham (Rom. 4:20-21; Gen. 24:63).

3) Being moderate and having self-control: Isaac married only one wife (Deut.17:17; Phil. 4:5).

4) Abraham gave all, a type of the Spirit without measure, or, the inheritance to Isaac (Gen. 25:5-6), and his profiting appeared to all (Gen. 26:12).

Having and perfecting divine love, the character of Christ is what brings profit to our lives (1Cor. 13:3).

We too should give ourselves wholly unto being godly, by perfecting the love of God using the Blood (Heb. 13:20-12), the Word (1Jn. 2:5; 2Pet. 1:4-10) and the Spirit (IJn. 4:12-13; Rom. 8:10-11), which will cause our profiting to appear.
