so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:7 NET

Jesus is coming back. That's a fact! But we do not know when.

In our eagerly waiting for His return, we live our life as if He were coming back tomorrow, ready for Him. But we have the spiritual gifts necessary to wait for another 1,000 years, to live for Him today and every day, knowing that we are an influence in the world for Christ. The Holy Spirit guides and directs us to be influencers for the greater good. We are influencing image-bearers! Let's live that way!

"I have the right to do anything," you say-but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"-but I will not be mastered by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12 NIV The world approaches everything as their right to do it. It's their right to have an abortion, it's their right to be sexually active with whomever they want, it's their right to do drugs, drink to get drunk. But when that happens, they become slaves to their whims, controlled by their desires. Let's not be fooled by this so-called freedom but realize that the Holy Spirit directs us in the way we should go. Let's walk by the Spirit rather than become obsessed by the world.

 He himself will be saved, but only as through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:15b NET Salvation is only the beginning. Once we accept the gift from Christ, our heart, our attitude, our purpose shifted to seeking God's will. Our purpose is now higher and greater. If we waste our time on earth doing the same thing as before our salvation, all of it will be for nothing, but our salvation is secured. We are image-bearers, reflecting God's goodness, mercy and grace. This shift will have external indicators. We will be more pleasant to be around, forgiveness becomes a way of life, crises become faith journeys. Let's seek the Father's face that we may be a light into the darkness!

 Guard against self-deception, each of you. If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise. 1 Corinthians 3:18 NET We think ourselves much higher than we really are. We may have university degrees, a lot of world experience, be the SME in our field, all that may impress the world, but for the Father this is meaningless and foolish. True Wisdom comes from the Holy Spirit through the free-flowing thoughts that He releases in us and that we believe, hear and listen to. Let's be true to ourselves and vulnerable to the world that we may become wise in the eyes of the Father.
