Read 2 Corinthians 11:23 – Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again.
The Apostle Paul went through a huge amount of humiliation and torture in his efforts to be faithful to Christ. In the end his head was taken from his shoulders for his faithfulness. Some would foolishly say, “His faith failed him!” His faith did not fail him, it kept him. His faith was so firm it held him to God’s Word and His promises so that nothing could move him from them, not even death. His life and works through the Holy Spirit have changed a world. His life is extended though the miraculous power of God till Christ comes! I hope our faith is strong enough to keep us faithful in the face of prosperity as his was to keep him in adversity. May we, as he, be sold out to Christ, so that we cannot be bought out by the world!
