BY FAITH WE STAND
II Corinthians 1:21-24
"Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us in God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. Moreover I call God as witness against my soul, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth. Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for by faith you stand."
Even though Paul had the anointing of Apostleship, he did not use that position to rule over people. Instead, he saw his role as a fellow-Christian to encourage them, so that their faith would be in Christ and not in Paul. Many people lose their faith because it is focused on a spiritual leader instead of Jesus, and when the leader fails, so does their faith. By faith in Christ we stand.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Christian faith must be in Jesus and not in some spiritual leader.

Have a "faith" day. Love you.
