Word 1
Paul's Solutions For The Church At Corinth - Divided, Defiled, & Defamed. || 1 Cor. 4:8-10
• 1 Cor. 4:8 The believers in Corinth made themselves comfortable. Corinth was in those days a prosperous trade city. Also the believers took advantage of that prosperity. They were full and rich. They lacked for nothing. They even had exerted political influences, because Paul says that they had become kings, which means that they had reigned. ‘But’, Paul says, ‘you have reigned “without us”‘. By that he means that they were too early with reigning. It was not the time yet. The believers will be able to reign when the Lord Jesus returns to establish the Millennial Kingdom. Paul was looking forward to that. He would have been very happy if that was already a reality. Then he and the other apostles, together with the Corinthians, would be able to reign with the Lord Jesus.

Word 2
Paul's Solutions For The Church At Corinth - Divided, Defiled, & Defamed. || 1 Cor. 4:8-10
• 1 Cor. 4:9 Paul and the other apostles had chosen for Christ. That meant shame and rejection for life on earth. God gave to those, who had received such a high position in the church – the apostleship was after all the highest gift – the lowest position in the world. In this world they had nothing to be expected anymore in their lives; they were as condemned to death. They accepted this place because God gave them that place. They “have become a spectacle to the world”. The story is told about a young Christian from another country, who was called to come forward in the classroom at school. The fellow classmates were encouraged by the teacher to call him names, because of his faith. Such a boy was made a spectacle that others watched with malicious delight. Have you ever been in such a situation that you experienced to be a spectacle?

Word 3
Paul's Solutions For The Church At Corinth - Divided, Defiled, & Defamed. || 1 Cor. 4:8-10
• 1 Cor. 4:10 To be a fool for Christ’s sake is not easy. It certainly is not, when you see other Christians dealing very easily with certain things. Paul makes a comparison between the lives of the apostles and the lives of the Corinthians. He does this to make them feel and become aware of them taking a distance from the true Christian life. He calls himself a fool for Christ’s sake. He calls them wise and strong. After all they had reigned, hadn’t they? When you reign you take the place of someone who is strong, a place above other people. They also had received honor from people. The apostles were despised, however. The apostles wanted very much to stay close to the Lord Jesus. Remember that all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 2 Tim 3:12. Are you suffering for Christ? You will reign with him very soon.

Personal Supplication
Father, I receive the grace to stand strong in my conviction of the knowledge of Christ Jesus all the days of my life without denying him in Jesus' name. 2 Tim 2:12
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

Daily Covenant Favor Declaration
I decree in the name of Jesus, from this moment forward, I see myself the way God sees me. I am highly favoured of the Lord. I am crowned with glory and honour. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
I am reigning as a king in life through the one man Jesus Christ

JESUS IS LORD!
