Hello Ladies and Gentlemen of steemchurch peace be with you all
Today i welcome you to the blog of 
Many Christians use their seniority to impeed others within the Church and any Christian organisation. But this should always be so..?.
When we read the book of Philemon 1-14, Paul as the leader of the church never forgot to try and identify good things that can be found in others and offer them a word. And this had many impact on the life of Philemon and Philemon faith and work had a very great impact on the life of Paul.
Paul set himself to resolve many delicate issues. Look at the sentence a runaway slave faces when his master decide is death. But Paul took a very wise decision on Onesimus and Philemon according to the relationship he had with each of them.
He did all these to pacify Philemon and alerted him of the new relationship that has brought about their relationship through their relationship with Jesus Christ and Paul.
Paul who is older than Philemon could have easily given orders to Philemon but rather decided to avoid the temptation of been using his seniority and power to seek what he wants. But rather allowed Philemon to have his free will on his own decision regarding his slave.
