1Cor.4:11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

What striking contrasting between kings and slaves of the king! Where kings are waited upon hand and foot, slaves are treated of no account, one would think Paul, and the apostles of Christ were being cursed from heaven, as proof of rebelling against the Jewish faith. If living a blessed life as the Jews taught was proof of living up to God's law, than Paul and other serving Christ looked like fools.

Many Christian's today speak of the protective hedge about them almost as if they can do anything foolish, and God will protect them, they speak of giving so much money to their group, and God is under some sort of obligation to repay them with material blessings in their business, or what ever else? Then there are those that believe being blessed by God mean the top position in some corporation as proof they are serving God. So they are in a constant state of judging others by what they are blessed with in this life. Many go to the most prosperous church because those are the positive Christian's that move mountain materially with their faith, wanting themselves to be blessed.

But Paul said he was receiving the same treatment as Christ Jesus received upon earth, should that be strange to Christian's? How could a person become a “Christian's” the very names meaning, means you are a part of the body of Christ Jesus, and not receive the treatment of the body? Paul was not embarrass by his treatment it was proof that he was doing God's will, the question was how were these brothers, and sisters side-stepping the power of demon controlling the world of mankind having the very light of the body Jesus Christ in them? How indeed, where they blessed, and love materially while Satan was doing all in his power to destroy the body of Christ Jesus that would bring his power, and control to an end? These blessed Christian's were materialist, unwittingly setting up a system of weed-Christian's that would change the very Christ upon earth, they would reach back into the abolished laws of God in Christ Jesus to receive the blessings of those early kings, using these blessings of wealth, and position for control and an excuses of loose conduct in the body of Christ Jesus.
