Scripture: Shared by body of Christ

2 Corinthians 2:14 ... Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Exhortation:  (Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet)


It is God who causes us to triumph in Christ, THE WORD

We don't triumph of ourselves.  But when we have victory after victory it can seem we are triumph of ourselves.  But we refocus on God and we know WHOM we have believed and we realize all the "greatness" we have is given us by God, by THE WORD, by HIS Spirit,  and it is not of ourselves.

Paul explained:  II Cor. 3 ... Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we,  as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 4And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
6Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
