Word 1
Paul's Solutions For The Church At Corinth - Divided, Defiled, & Defamed. || 1 Cor. 4:11-15
• 1 Cor. 4:11 To explain to them what it really means to be a Christian, he describes something about the hardships the apostles had gone through. What he tells them and you and me is not something that would immediately make us envious. It did not happen just only once, just accidentally. No, he writes that they were experiencing those things “to this present hour”. Through their whole life they had to deal with these things. They had been without food, drink and clothes. Also physical hardships belonged to being a Christian in the view of the apostles. He knew from experience how it felt to be beaten up. They did not have a permanent residence. They were literarily pilgrims, transmigrates. We may have a literal residence, but let’s realize that we do not belong on earth.

Word 2
Paul's Solutions For The Church At Corinth - Divided, Defiled, & Defamed. || 1 Cor. 4:11-15
• 1 Cor. 4:12-13 They were neither unwilling nor too spiritual to work, and not just a bit. They worked so hard that they became very tired. In following Christ we should also be zealous in our daily work. Look at the attitude of the apostles towards the dishonor and evil people did to them. Don’t you see a striking accordance with the reaction of the Lord Jesus towards the dishonor and evil that was done to Him? We often react otherwise. That’s because we are not yet well aware of which position we have in the world. It is a position of “scum” and “dregs”. It can be quite devastating to admit that if you want to reach the high ideals to become somebody in the world. Yes, but Whom do you belong to actually?

Word 3
Paul's Solutions For The Church At Corinth - Divided, Defiled, & Defamed. || 1 Cor. 4:11-15
• 1 Cor. 4:14-15 The Corinthians must have been very embarrassed at reading the previous verses. There the big contrast was set out for them between their attitude as Christians and the attitude of the apostles. He calls them “my beloved children”. That means that they heard the gospel through him and accepted it. In that way he became their father and they became his children. It is wonderful when there are fathers in faith who are willing to support young believers in their way of faith. There were many believers in Corinth who didn’t like the ministry of Paul at all. Paul speaks a bit sneeringly about “countless tutors”. By that he means people who were pretending to be instructors for the Corinthians. They thought they were much better than Paul. Their ministry was also quickly accepted by the believers, because they presented a wonderfully comfortable Christian life to them. Beware of pretenders within the body of Christ.

Personal Supplication
Father, grant me the grace to live as a stranger and a pilgrim in this world in Jesus' name. Heb. 11:15-16
15 If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have gone back.
16 But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

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!
