Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON GLORIES IN CHRIST
Reading: 2 Corinthians 3:1-6
2 Corinthians 3:5 (KJV)
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
It is obvious that you can only boast in either self or in God; it cannot be both. Humility is needed if one could think of God as their sufficiency.
This is what Paul is teaching us here today, because no matter what, your power, wealth and wisdom will be incomplete without God's help. Having known this, we can boast in God; for our sufficiency is of Him.
Dear preacher, do not boast because you are able to preach well:
Dear prophet, do not boast because you can carry out all the gymnastics in prophecy:
Dear miracle worker, please, do not boast because you can wrought all kinds of miracles:
Dear giver, do not boast because you can give abundantly;
Know that without God's help through the Holy Spirit, you cannot be competent even with your talent. Let the lives God impacts through you be your living Epistles. Glory in the Lord; be a witness of Christ and not of self, knowing that our sufficiency is of God.
Stay blessed.
Let's Pray:
Almighty God, faithful are You. Father, our sufficiency is of You. May You keep us humble always that we will be competent to take the charge You have given us through Christ Jesus. Amen.
