2Corinthians 11:7-15; Pauls Selfless Ministry; Thanking God today for all He has done and will do for me according to His perfect will.Thinking about my family grateful for each one of them.And praying for God to heal the ones who may or may not doing well. IT Is His timing not mine.However I just give Him the glory and praises. Giving and receiveing was an importsnt element of social structures in Pauls day .The wealthy expressed their power and status by becoming patrons to those in need . In retun, those who received such patronage were obligated to the wealthy patron .To refuse an offer of benefaction was not just impolite, it was a social rejection of friendship. The subject of ministeriaal pay can be touchy but scrippture calls us to an important balance: congregations need to support their pastors, but ministers who seek self- promation and undue profit are not following Scriptures call to selfless ministry. Your church leaders need your support in order to preach the gospel with selfless abandon to the glory of Christ.
