Thought for the day : Are you willing to give up your right?
1 Cor. 9: 1 ~ 14


I am free, am I not? I am an apostle, am I not? I have seen Jesus our Lord, haven’t I? You are the result of[a] my work in the Lord, aren’t you?


2 If I am not an apostle to other people, surely I am one to you, for you are the evidence of my apostolic authority from the Lord.


3 This is my defense to those who would examine me:


4 We have the right to earn our food,[b] don’t we?


5 We have the right to take a believing wife with us like the other apostles, the Lord’s brothers, and Cephas,[c] don’t we?


6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who have to keep on working for a living?


7 Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat any of its grapes? Or who takes care of a flock and does not drink any of its milk?


8 I am not saying this on human authority, am I? The Law says the same thing, doesn’t it?


9 For in the Law of Moses it is written, “You must not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.”[d] God is not only concerned about oxen, is he?


10 Isn’t he really speaking for our benefit? Yes, this was written for our benefit, because the one who plows should plow in hope, and the one who threshes should thresh in hope of sharing in the crop.


11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you?


12 If others enjoy this right over you, don’t we have a stronger claim? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we tolerate everything in order not to put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of the Messiah.[e]


13 You know that those who work in the Temple get their food from the Temple and that those who serve at the altar get their share of its offerings, don’t you?


14 In the same way, the Lord has ordered that those who proclaim the gospel should make their living from the gospel.




Meditation ( 10 Min)
1. What does this passage says?
2. What has God reveals to me about God?  Teaching about the Christian life?
3. What does God want me to do?




Prayer ( 10 Min)
1. Praise : Praise God for His attributes.
2. Thanksgiving : Thank him for what he has done.
3. Confession : Confess any sin that God reveals.
4. Supplication : Pray for your own needs.
5. Intercession : Pray for the needs of others.
