(1Co 9:4) “Have we not power to eat and to drink? (5) Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? (6) Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?” From the beginning certain honors were shown unto God’s ministers. These men represented the Lord, ministering not to the flesh, but to the souls and spirits of others. Remember: the spiritual always comes before the physical.
