Apostle Paul’s purpose of writing
the letter of 2 Corinthians is to
affirm his ministry, defend his authority and refute false teachers.
This week we understand God better
thru knowing His attributes, mostly
related to His ability to meet needs.
On Monday, we learn from 2Cor 1
God of All Comfort & Compassion.
On Tues, we learn from 2Cor 3
about Spirit of the Living God.
On Wed, we learn from 2Cor 4
about Spirit of Faith Empowers Us.
On Thurs, we learn from 2Cor 5
that Spirit Serves as a Guarantee.
On Fri, we learn from 2Cor 9/19 that
God Provides Indescribable Gift.
Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face…In Jesus’ name.
God Provides Indescribable Gift and Mighty Resources
Paul has defended his ministry
as an ambassador for Christ
by showing how individuals can
be reconciled to a living God.
This leads Paul to plead with the
Corinthians to be reconciled to him
as their spiritual father and to love
him in the same way he loves them.
He also appeals to the Corinthians
to follow the example set by the
churches of Macedonia in generous,
sacrificial giving – a reasonable
response to God’s Indescribable
Gift in the person of His Son.
Lord, we’ll use Your mighty weapons:
Because of the exceeding grace of
God in you. Thanks be to God for
His Indescribable Gift (2Cor 9:14-15) We are humans but we don’t wage war with human plans & methods. We use God’s mighty weapons, not mere worldly weapons, to knock down the Devil’s strongholds. With these weapons we break down every proud argument that keeps people from knowing God. With these weapons we conquer their rebellious ideas & teach them to obey Christ (2Cor 10:3-6) Amen.
Lord, thanks for providing resources
including Word of God and Prayer
which are “God’s mighty weapons.”
And Thank You that our arsenal are more powerful than Satan’s & open the way for God’s spirit to work. Help us use these spiritual weapons
effectively as we trust in Your power.
Remove the mountains in our lives &
make the impossible possible. Amen
Lord, praise You for the power of Your Word. For it can penetrate hearts in ways no amount of human reasoning and philosophy can Trust that Your Word will speak to the hearts of even the most atheistic people for You have promised that Your Word will achieve its purpose of telling the world the truth. Amen.
Lord, Thank You for Your weapons of warfare, which are mighty and supernatural. Teach us to wield them as we stand against the enemy. Strengthen us even as we Intercede for others. Lord, we pray that
You will demolish the devil’s dark strongholds and establish Your kingdom of truth and light. Amen.
