When Jesus was alive on earth He was open and free in His sharing the light of truth. He gave Himself freely to people who asked questions. "He went about doing good" and never held His love back from all people rich and poor. He truly was in His day the Fountain of Living Waters and still is.

Paul spoke about the lives of those "who preach the gospel live of the gospel" to the Corinthian church. He even quoted Moses word on it saying, "Muzzle not the ox when it treadeth out the corn." He spoke about himself and those with him that they chose rather to suffer than to use "this power" over the people.

However, Paul breaks away and makes a powerful stand and statement for himself. "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!"

He also made mention that he would rather die than to use "this power over people." He said, "Necessity is laid upon me." I saw that word "Necessity" for the first time by revelation. That "necessity laid" upon Paul is what made him mighty in faith and love with boldness. He could not be overpowered by "any man" but only the Holy Spirit's power. Nothing owned Him but God. He even chose to rather die than live any other way.

Never let anything or anyone have that kind of human controlling power over your life, which is a very expression of the Gospel in living form. I pray that same holy, divine necessity that was laid upon Paul be laid upon you for Jesus' sake for the rest of your lives. Make it your ambition to live no other way.

"Freely Ye have received therefore freely give." - Jesus Christ
