DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

Do You Know Who You Are?

Each year, on Labor Day weekend, the Holy Spirit leads me to share at least a portion of scripture from I Corinthians chapter 3. I am not really led to elaborate very much on these scriptures at this time. I am simply led to share them and to pray that God will show you, and also me, whatever we need to see about ourselves, and the work of HIS ministry through us.

I Corinthians 3:1-9

(1) And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
(2) I have fed you with milk, and not meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
(3) For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is envying and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
(4) For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am Apollos; are ye not carnal?
(5) Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave unto every man?
(6) I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase,
(7) So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
(8) Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one; and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
(9) For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
(10) according to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation and another buildeth thereupon.
(11) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

We must decrease and He must increase, if we are to be Kingdom Builders and allow Him to accomplish His purpose and mission through us in the earth.

Have a blessed weekend.

In His service,
