A Kingdom Lifestyle

1 Corinthians 4

Inspired thots

v2 IT IS REQUIRED that those who have been a given trust must prove Faithful.
~ when God gives me something, I must prove my faithfulness over it.
1) Salvation
2) Ministry
3) Prayer Intercession
4) Talents

v3 I CARE VERY LITTLE if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself.
~ Do not be bothered about how people view me;
~ Do not be bothered to judge myself
~ Let God be the judge!

v4 My conscience is clear but that DOES NOT MAKE ME INNOCENT. It is the Lord who judges me.
~ I may try my best but only God knows if I pass His test.

v5 JUDGE NOTHING before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes.
~ Very good advice to stay clear from all kinds of politics
~ Very good foolproof lifestyle in today's world, understanding the will of God

v8 ALREADY you have all you want! Already you have become rich!
~ My relationship and status with Christ have made all things possible. I must remember I have all things and am not in want. I must not look at myself as if in dire needs.

v10-13 In Christ, I am wise, strong, honoured because of salvation and faith.
Yet, His servants will be regarded as 'fools', 'weak', 'dishonored', 'scum of the earth', 'refuse of the world'

v18 Arrogance has no place in God's kingdom. Only the POWER of God which shall be shown.
