”For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.“
2 Corinthians 2:17 KJV
Paul is communicating again to the church at Corinth, “For unlike so many, we are not peddlers of God’s Word who water down the message. We are those sent from God with pure motives, who speak in the sight of God from our union with Christ.” Paul states that his ministry of teaching and preaching happened while he was in the Presence of God. Paul’s eyes were set on God, not on the people’s response. Teachers and preachers of the Gospel would do well to heed this example that Paul set. Set your eyes on the Word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit because of your deep intimate relationship with God. Don’t fix your focus on the majority opinion polls or in what people say. To be in the Presence of God is to agree with His Word while abiding in it. The leading of the Holy Spirit is the depth of your intimacy with Him as a result of your prayer life. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these Three are One. Amen!
