Many in Paul's day were expecting My soon return. This is why Paul felt to write some end time exhortations to the church in Thessalonica. However, I exhort you to follow these exhortations daily.
Paul exhorted the church to appreciate and respect those who are leaders in the church. He encouraged the believers to live in peace with one another and to seek the good for one another. He wanted believers to encourage those who were spiritually weak and admonish those who were undisciplined.
He desired for believers to rejoice always, delight in their faith, pray unceasingly, be thankful in all circumstances. He warned them to not quench the Holy Spirit or scorn or reject the gifts of prophecy. However, they were to test all things. Above all he instructed them to abstain from evil and to consecrate themselves so that they could be found blameless at My coming. Daily submit yourself to Me, and My Holy Spirit will help you to fulfill these exhortations.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:12-23
