Title: What would you be remembered for?
Main Text:- Romans 16:1-3
Teacher: Minister Peter Ibadin
From the main bible text, we see Paul saluted/greeted many people.
He must have met so other people in his journey here in life.
Yet, he chose to specially salute these set of people.
Definitely, they must have made a remarkable difference in his life.

This is a lesson to each and everyone of us. When someone is helpful, always say thanks.
Now let's look deeper into the lives of some of the bible characters.
Phobe was very generous to Paul.
No wonder he pleaded with other brethren to help her anyway she required.

If a stranger asked your friend to describe you, would you receive such honour?
Always know one thing, if you do good to anyone, it's like a seed sown.
One day, you would reap whatever you sow.
Your reward is even greater when you do good to a servant of God (Matt 25:40)

Let us take 2 bible characters as examples (Job vs Daniel) . Both had 3 friends that played significant characters in their lives.
Job saw his friends (Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar) as miserable comforters - Job 16:2
While Daniel had friends (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego) that chose to stick together to do what is pleasing to God no matter the circumstance.
Pause and reflect, what type of friend are you?
Moving unto Adronicus & Junia (Paul's relatives)
It is nothing new that family and friends may forsake us, when we take a stand for God
Even Jesus acknowledged in Matt 13:57 that "a prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his house"
However Adronicus & Junia went through trials with Paul instead of turning away

Have a blessed week
