*A Title-Crazy Generation*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother"* (1 Corinthians 1:1 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Welcome to our world, where titles are very precious. Everyone wants to get one. Names appear naked and common without one. None is really ready to suffer such shame. Except of course, where circumstances makes it absolutely difficult. Deep down, no one wants a name with no titles.
Paul had simply called himself by his name, before trying to give a humble but indeed befitting description of himself. He had to explain how he became an Apostle. He was called by Jesus Christ under the will of God. If anyone in this world, ever had a calling, Paul definitely had one. In fact, his calling was more than dramatic. His calling left him blind for three days, without food. Even if he wanted to, he would never forget how he was called in a hurry! Such a calling! Oh, that the persecutors of the faith in our days be visited by such forceful calling!
Paul would never have done justice to any brief introduction of himself, if he doesn't describe himself as an Apostle. For him, it was not a job he had desired and worked towards. Rather, his apostleship is one he considers himself dead, if he fails to fulfill it or work towards it.
_*"For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!"*_ (1 Corinthians 9:16 (KJV))
Before you allow any title decorate your name, ask yourself if you are really living worthy of it. It is not enough to have powerful titles to your name, whether before or after. But the question is, do you live up to such titles?
_MEDITATION:_
*"Whatever title you have or hope to have, don't find fulfilment in it/them, if you are not living the part. It is better to live the life without the title, than to have the title without the life"*
