When status or seeming benefits determine our devotions to the cause of Christ then it implies we seek the praise of men. All of the accolades of men mean nothing. One thing that will count is that praise which is from God that will come from our devotions and commitments to His cause.

The believer does not have two natures. We have a new life because the old man has been crucified. We are not the ones who have lusts for the flesh. We must identify with the truth of what Christ has done. We are new creation. We have a new life. Our walk with Christ begins from this new life, that is in the Spirit. Glory to God.

Heaven or hell isn't the goal for the believer. The eternity of the believer has already being determined in Christ. The goal of the believer is to live a life that glorifies Christ hence pleasing Him.

Ministry must be done according to the will of God. The will of God is that men come to the full knowledge of the promise of life and the import of this life. We are ministers by the will of God not by the will of God, therefore our obedience must be strictly towards God and His will.

Presenting the church undefiled should also be our focus. The message we feed the church with will be retained in them. It will either keep them undefiled or corrupt their mind from the sincerity which is in Christ.

The greatest expression of the very incorruptible life that we now have is love. Love is spiritual growth. Love is true maturity..

This is an instruction to the church. Treating prophecies with contempt isn't the way of the Spirit, rather we should test the spirit, that is, the influence behind the utterance.

Love is the expression of the incorruptible nature of God in us. Love can't go wrong. I mean the love of found which isn't separate from truth. We were born again to fully give expression to the love of the Father in us.

We must stick with that which is doctrinally accurate. Our practices must be in line with the truth of God's word. This is what being apostolic is all about. Just as is being already given in the word we must stick to in the church.

Jesus is the mediator for men. In that He has reconciled men to God through His redemptive work. Man must receive it. For us the church He isn't mediating for us. He is in us and we have fellowship with Him.
