2 Corinthians 11:23-28 ERV
Are they serving Christ? I am serving him more. (I am crazy to talk like this.) I have worked much harder than they have. I have been in prison more often. I have been hurt more in beatings. I have been near death many times. Five times the Jews have given me their punishment of 39 lashes with a whip. Three different times I was beaten with rods. One time I was almost killed with rocks. Three times I was in ships that were wrecked, and one of those times I spent the night and the next day in the sea. In my constant traveling I have been in danger from rivers, from thieves, from my own people, and from people who are not Jews. I have been in danger in cities, in places where no one lives, and on the sea. And I have been in danger from people who pretend to be believers but are not. I have done hard and tiring work, and many times I did not sleep. I have been hungry and thirsty. Many times I have been without food. I have been cold and without clothes. And there are many other problems. One of these is the care I have for all the churches. I worry about each group of believers every day.
Wow! This was some tough stuff Apostle Paul went through for the sake of the gospel. Paul had relentless faith in God. Regardless of how great the challenges were he never gave up. Apostle Paul is an example of faith that is relentless. When we are challenged we must purpose to have the same no quit, not giving up attitude. We are empowered with Holy Spirit in our heart. We have the supernatural power of the almighty God living within us. You have relentless faith and you can stand and win against the greatest, most difficult challenges the enemy brings against you. Listen, the challenges may be hard right now, but you can shout because you have relentless faith and you will win! Actually, you have already won. Your relentless faith will make your victory your reality.
Prayer – I am relentless in faith. I will not be denied. I will receive everything Jesus purchased for me. I thank you Father for my Royal Kingdom inheritance, in Jesus name!
