We will be looking at 2 Corinthians 5:12
We are not again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.
Paul, here, is going all out, even at the expense of being called a braggart, in order to equip his readers with the knowledge of how to defend themselves against those who appear to have an air of sincerity but who are without integrity.
My friend, if God is working mightily in your life, don’t develop a false sense of humility and shirk from declaring His greatness for fear that others might even think you are patting yourself on the back. Rather, realize that the work of God through you, is just that: God’s work. And, allow that to flow so that your brothers and sisters in the faith will be encouraged to share the gospel with others.
So my prayer for you this day is to live fully as a child of God so that those who flaunt what they think that matters in this life will be made aware that there is a much higher calling upon their lives
