Scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:17 you see, we are not like the many hucksters who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ's authority, knowing that God is watching us.
Observation: Paul was stating that he is not like the ones who preach for a buck are hucksters. In 1 Corinthians he said that he would preach regardless if he got paid. Why because it is not about the money to Paul…his treasure is in heaven not on earth!.
Application: It is simply about Jesus! We must preach the Gospel with sincerity and with Christ' authority. God watches over us and He knows our motives. It is not about money!
Prayer: Lord, help me keep focused and not preach for personal profit. I desire to be like Paul and preach with sincerity and with Christ's authority. I desire to preach the word regardless of pay or profit. The only thing I desire is that Heaven is increased by 'One More!" Help me to continue to preach and keep my focus on Jesus and nothing else. In Jesus Name….AMEN!
