TEXT: 1 Corinthians 3:1-23
Anglican Daily Fountain 14 January 2022 Devotional | Message
Here, Paul addressed the issue of worldliness that was found in the Corinthian Church (vv. 3,4). He called this by its right name – worldliness! Today, some of our churches are still worldly. We witness division in our churches. Building correctly involves both the quality of materials for the building (v.12) and how we build (w. 9b,10; 2 Timothy 2:20,22). The materials mentioned in verse 12 that could be used to build on the foundation that has already been laid speak of varying qualities (v.13).
We are saved to do good works. With this in mind, we should learn how to engage in ministry without any ulterior motive. Compare their purpose in ministry with what obtains in our churches today. When our purpose for ministry is wrong, worldliness will definitely thrive in our ministry and this will affect the Body of Christ. May God help us to understand the correct perspective of ministry so that we can build correctly.
Prayer: Give me the wisdom and right attitude to build acceptably for you, dear Lord. Amen.
