Word 1
Paul's Solutions For The Church At Corinth - Divided, Defiled, & Defamed. || 1 Cor. 4:16-21
• 1 Cor. 4:16-17 Paul only asked to imitate him as far as he himself imitated Christ. In that sense you can also imitate somebody who is supporting you spiritually. Therefore the example of older believers is important. Keep looking at them if they imitate Christ. Again Paul could point at his example. His ways were “ways which are in Christ”, which means that his words and deeds were as Christ meant them to be. To show them that it was not just a personal view, he sent Timothy to them. From him they would hear exactly the same things. The way Paul operated, matched thoroughly with Christ. Not only his teachings were in accordance with Christ, but also the way he walked to make known these teachings. He didn’t use nice words or craftiness to win the believers over to his view. For him it was all because of Christ and His honor in the church. And because there is just one church, he taught the same everywhere. Paul maintained consistency in every church.

Word 2
Paul's Solutions For The Church At Corinth - Divided, Defiled, & Defamed. || 1 Cor. 4:16-21
• 1 Cor. 4:18-19 Some people thought that Paul didn’t dare to come personally and therefore sent Timothy. That was not true. If the Lord wanted that, he would come. And then he wouldn’t listen to those braggarts. Their words had no content; they missed the power of God and therefore had no effect. You live in a world where a lot is being said, but how many words really have power and have an effect? The reality is that many promises are being made and nothing or only a little is being given of what is promised.

Word 3
Paul's Solutions For The Church At Corinth - Divided, Defiled, & Defamed. || 1 Cor. 4:16-21
• 1 Cor. 4:20-21 “The kingdom of God” is not in talk. In the kingdom of God the issue is life, wherein the power of God becomes visible. It is a realm where you now belong and wherein you can show that the Lord Jesus is your Lord. By just simply listening to Him and doing what He says, His power in your life will become visible. How did Paul have to come to them? They could say it themselves. Did he have to come with a rod? That would have happened if they didn’t listen to his exhortation to imitate him. (Yes, at times it is necessary to use firm talk. That is absolutely not in contrast with love. This is also how God deals with His children. In Hebrews 12 chastisement by the Lord is called a proof of love, Heb_12:6.) Or was it possible to come with love and a spirit of gentleness?

Personal Supplication
Father, help me to be firm and resolute or gentle and mild when I need to do so. Guide me with Your spirit in Jesus' name! 2 Cor 7:8-9 NLT
8 I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you, though I was sorry at first, for I know it was painful to you for a little while.
9 Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way.

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!
