“And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,” ‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/1th.5.12.NKJV • "Know" (eidenai): In English, "know" sounds like simply recognizing someone's face. In Greek, this word means to appreciate, respect, and acknowledge someone's true value and standing. • "Labor" (kopiōntas): This does not mean casual work. It refers to toiling to the point of weariness or exhaustion, emphasizing the heavy emotional and spiritual effort of caring for a congregation. • "Are over you" (proïstamenous): Literally translated as "standing before," this word carries two meanings: leading/guiding and protecting/caring for others, much like a shepherd or a dedicated parent. • "Admonish" (nouthetountas): Literally "to place in the mind," this means instructing, counseling, or gently warning people to help them stay on the right path, rather than harshly scolding them. Paul does not define church leadership by titles or status. He defines it by hard work, protective care, and helpful guidance. While leaders have the heavy responsibility of working hard for the group, the congregation has the responsibility to recognize that effort, show genuine love, and keep the peace. Have a wonderful day! Love you all!

@Tomé Ford You are such an anointed woman of God. You are a quiet storm and a force to be reckoned with. I pray according to Jude 1:2 that Mercy, Peace and love be multiplied to you. I pray according to Deuteronomy 28 that the blessings of the Lord will overtake you “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.” Happy Birthday!!!!!!
