2 Corinthians 6:7; By the Power of God (2)

2 Corinthians 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

The Apostle Paul’s ministry was a suffering ministry. He walked in the steps of Jesus. As it was in Jesus’ life, the power of God was expressly manifested in the Apostle Paul’s life to authenticate a divine ministry wherein God’s goodness came upon those who received the call to repentance and faith in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

Indeed, as AW Tozer observed, “If even three hundred of God’s people became that serious, our world would never hear the last of it! They would influence the news. Their message would go everywhere like birds on the wing. They would set off a great revival of New Testament faith and witness. God wants to deliver us from the easygoing, smooth and silky, fat and comfortable Christianity so fashionable today. I hope we are willing to let the truth take hold of us, even at the cost of rejection or embarrassment.” [Jesus is Victor!; Tozer]

May the Lord bless us with a renewed mindset to invoke God’s power for every outing of this new day. Amen.
