DIARY OF A YOUNG MINISTER  BROTHER ONESIMUS INTRODUCTION: This is one of Apostle Paul’s eternal classics that is applicable today. This is the Holy Spirit instructing us today through this unique experience brought to the fore by Apostle Paul. 1.The matter was so severe that Apostle Paul had to involve Timothy and copied Apphia and Archippus. Also, Epaphras, John Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Dr Luke were mentioned in this letter of Paul.very brief,one chapter but loaded!  It was a letter written to Philemon among many witnesses.
