TEXT: 1 Corinthians 2:1-10

1. Christian brothers, when I came to you, I did not preach the secrets of God with big sounding words or make it sound as if I were so wise.

2. I made up my mind that while I was with you I would speak of nothing except Jesus Christ and of His death on the cross.

3. When I was with you, I was weak. I was afraid and I shook.

4. What I had to say when I preached was not in big sounding words of man’s wisdom. But it was given in the power of the Holy Spirit.

5. In this way, you do not have faith in Christ because of the wisdom of men. You have faith in Christ because of the power of God.

6. We speak wisdom to full-grown Christians. This wisdom is not from this world or from leaders of today. They die and their wisdom dies with them.

7. What we preach is God’s wisdom. It was a secret until now. God planned for us to have this honor before the world began.

8. None of the world leaders understood this wisdom. If they had, they would not have put Christ up on a cross to die. He is the Lord of shining-greatness.

9. The Holy Writing say, “No eye has ever seen or no ear has ever heard or no mind has ever thought of the wonderful things God has made ready for those who love Him.”

10. God has shown these things to us through His Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit Who looks into all things, even the secrets of God, and shows them to us.

(New Life Version Holy Bible)

TOPIC: LIVE BY THE SPIRIT

Believers are encouraged to allow the Holy Spirit lead them, they should not project themselves in any way. Like Paul, believers must allow the wisdom of the Lord guide them when they are with both unbelievers and believers.

When we allow the Spirit of God to lead us, we will see what He has prepared for us and it will be a great opportunity to walk according to His will. In our fellowship groups, we must allow the Spirit of God to rule and not show that we have arrived, either because of our knowledge, position or any of our possessions. Everything we do must point back to Christ.

QUESTION: Is the Spirit of God ruling your life?

PRAYER: Lord, I need Your guidance and grace to live in such a way that I will always project you and never myself, in Jesus name, Amen.
