DAILY BIBLE READING

Our Sufficiency Is of God

2 Cor. 3:1-6

Paul, while recounting the great success they had in the ministry and which were known to the Corinthians, told them that they did not achieve those things by their own power. They did not arrogate to themselves any power to enlighten the mind or change the heart of the people to Christ but that they were only instruments in the hands of God. He reiterated that their sufficiency was of God. This means it was from God they have received power and through the Holy Spirit they accomplished great things for Him. Know that it is the Holy Spirit that can help you to make it and be fruitful in your service to God, therefore depend on Him and not in your power.

Point of Emphasis:     Your power cannot carry you through, trust in God’s power.

Prayer Point:              Holy Spirit, empower me to be successful in my Christian service and ministry.

NOTRE CAPACITE VIENT DE DIEU

2CO. 3:1-6

En relatant le grand succès qu’ils eurent dans le ministère et qui était connu des Corinthiens, Paul leur dit qu’ils n’avaient pas accompli ces choses par leur force. Ils ne s’étaient arrogés aucun pouvoir d’illuminer l’esprit ou de changer le cœur du peuple envers Christ mais qu’ils étaient de simples instruments dans la main de Dieu. Il réitéra que leur capacité venait de Dieu. Cela veut dire qu’ils recevaient leur pouvoir de Dieu et ils accomplissaient de grandes choses à travers le Saint-Esprit. Sache que c’est le Saint-Esprit qui peut t’aider à réussir et à être fructueux dans ton service à Dieu; dépens donc de lui et non pas de ta force.

Point essentiel : Ta force ne peut pas t’aider jusqu’à la fin, aie confiance en la puissance de Dieu.

Axe de prière : Saint-Esprit, fortifie-moi afin de réussir dans mon service et ministère chrétien.
