  TRUE GENTLENESS IS A GEM OF GREAT VALUE IN GOD’S SIGHT

  MID-WEEK MANNA FROM PASTOR NAT’S DESK:

  April 16, 2025

  TRUE GENTLENESS IS A GEM OF GREAT VALUE IN GOD’S SIGHT

      “Thou hast also given me the shield of Thy salvation: and Thy gentleness hath made me great.” 2 Sam. 23: 36, A.V. 

  Jesus, the victorious “second Adam,” is our precious Savior-Example, the human-divine Model and Pattern Man for all to follow and obey “by faith that works by love” enabled by God’s empowering grace imparted by the Holy Spirit to the true believer. 

  As the Corner Stone of the true church—His spiritual kingdom of righteousness on earth,—He, the Desire and Rock of ages, was as firm as a rock where truth and duty is concerned. In His model life heavenly courtesy was perfectly illustrated. 

  “KINDNESS GENTLENESS GAVE FRAGRANCE TO HIS CHARACTER.” 

  Hereunder is a “family of God-household of faith” specific counsel regarding the divine power in true gentleness, produced by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (emphasis mine):

       “We want a SPIRIT OF GENTLENESS. We cannot live right in the FAMILY CIRCLE without it. [and “righteousness is right doing.’|.

       “In order to have proper control of our children [in the home, and members in the church|, we must manifest a spirit of GENTLENESS and of MEEKNESS and of LONG-SUFFERING. We do not want to have a FAULT-FINDING, FRETFUL, SCOLDING spirit. 

      “If we teach THEM to have a spirit of gentleness, we must have a spirit of gentleness OURSELVES. [“I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day;” “an ounce of practice is better than a pound of preaching;””truth is no truth to them who do not practice it;” etc.]. 

      “If we would have them manifest a spirit of love toward us, we must manifest a GENTLE,  loving spirit toward them. BUT at the same time there need be NO weakness or unwise INDULGENCE on the part of the parents [also, ministers, pastors, undershepherds]. 

       “The mother [father; all the others cited above] must be AS FIRM AS A ROCK, and not swerve from the right [from what is right, true, holy, according to God’s will as revealed in His law]. Her laws and rules should be carried out at all times and under all hazards, BUT she can do this with ALL GENTLENESS and meekness. . . . The children will grow up God-fearing men and women.” -E. G. White, Review & Herald, Dec. 21, 1886.

  The divine imaging principle and process is constantly at work whether we are aware or not. “Like mother, like daughter;” “Like father, like son,” “Like priest, like followers,” etc. By constantly beholding one becomes changed. And “by their fruits ye shall know them.” 

  May all diligently and persistently “ask, seek, and knock” for the Holy Spirit in prayer daily, “seeking for the Lord WHILE He may yet be found.” Beware lest any fall asleep or even temporarily take a “nap” during this deepening “midnight” of earth’s history just before “the coming of the Bridegroom!” Remember: the Holy Spirit has been slowly withdrawing from the earth! 

  To be continued, God willing. Bless all, NMF.

  THE HOLY SPIRIT’S ‘FRUIT’ OF GENTLENESS IS CHRIST’S OWN GENTLENESS
  by Pastor Nathaniel Fajardo

  MID-WEEK MANNA FROM PASTOR NAT’S DESK:

  April 9, 2025

  THE HOLY SPIRIT’S ‘FRUIT’ OF GENTLENESS IS CHRIST’S OWN GENTLENESS

  What, where, when, why, and how is this divine gentleness manifested? The apostle to the Gentiles gives us an example, as revealed in his epistle to the early church at Corinth (all emphasis and words in brackets mine): 

       “Now I Paul myself, BESEECH YOU BY THE MEEKNESS AND GENTLENESS OF CHRIST, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you. 

       “But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I

  am present with you with that confidence wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked in the  flesh.

      “For though we WALK IN the flesh, we do not WAR WITH the flesh: for the weapons of our

  WARFARE are not carnal, but [spiritually] mighty through God to the PUTTING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS [that is], casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in a readiness  to revenge ALL DISOBEDIENCE, when YOUR OBEDIENCE is fulfilled.” 2 Cor. 10: 1-6, KJV. 

  This divine gentleness is demonstrated and manifested in  and with the “boldness” of carrying out a “mighty warfare,” not against “flesh and blood,” especially against fellow believers of “the household of faith,” but “against wickedness in high places,” against the carnal “strongholds” of foolish, vain, and sinful “imaginations” and every “high and mighty thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. . .” 

  “Real refinement of thought and manner is better learned in the school of the divine Teacher  THAN BY ANY observance of SET RULES. His love pervading the heart gives to the CHARACTER those refining touches that FASHION IT in the semblance of His own [character]. This education imparts a heaven-born DIGNITY AND SENSE OF PROPRIETY. It gives sweetness of disposition and a GENTLENESS OF MANNER that can never be equaled by the SUPERFICIAL polish of fashionable society.”

  E. G. White, My Life Today, p. 191.
