Daily Fountain Devotional 2 August 2022 MESSAGE
Apostle Paul in today’s passage, reminded the church at Corinth of his experience together with his fellow missionaries in the province of Asia. They gave up all hope but with the prayers of the church and the help of God, they were delivered from trouble, especially that which came to them in Asia (vv. 8-11).
He wanted them to understand his teaching to avoid any doubt about his ministry. In verse 24, Paul wrote to encourage the church to be each other’s helper of joy; he said he did not come to control but to be a helper of joy. The church prayed for him and he also prayed for the church.
He described his involvement as ministerial servant rather than dominating force. Christians also need to do the same in times like this by acting as mediators rather than dictators. Believers are to follow in Paul’s footstep in advancing the gospel, and inspire and encourage those in darkness to seek the light, so they can rejoice for all eternity too.
There is need to help each other; we need to be “helpers of joy” to others by praying for them. (1 Tim. 2:1). Be a “helper of someone’s joy”, by giving to someone in need, by encouraging and by comforting.
PRAYER: Father, help me to bring joy and happiness to other people so that they will be blessed through me.
