Acts 20:32-35
"And now [brethren], I commit you to God [I deposit you in His charge, entrusting you to His protection and care]. And I commend you to the Word of His grace [to the commands and counsels and promises of His unmerited favor]. It is able to build you up and to give you [your rightful] inheritance among all God’s set-apart ones (those consecrated, purified, and transformed of soul).
I coveted no man’s silver or gold or [costly] garments.
You yourselves know personally that these hands ministered to my own needs and those [of the persons] who were with me.
In everything I have pointed out to you [by example] that, by working diligently in this manner, we ought to assist the weak, being mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus, how He Himself said, It is more blessed (makes one happier and more to be envied) to give than to receive."
Jesus...Is The Way To Suceed!
By Example He Showed us an excellent way! By Working a long side His people He taught..."Hands On..." Learning.
We need people, but we need to work for their good, not against their strengths.
We need Power, but our testimony of overcoming is that power. Paul said; "I covet no man's silver or gold..." Just, to show Christ as Lord, and my Lord...Is what Paul is saying is successful.
