The Bible And Pmb's " I Belong To No One And I Belong To Everyone. by eddyline(m): 6:30am On Aug 27, 2015
I was carrying out my devotion this morning and I came across a passage that looks a lot like PMB's famous lines during his inaugural speech..
1Co 9:19 Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
Is this a mere coincidence?

Wait let me analyse it better
Ok. Iam back........

I think that was what PMB was trying to say. Just that the bible passage was clear and specific. The author clearly stated he was not a slave(as was common in those days for people to be owned as ones property), I can do what ever I wish or choose to do as a free man, yet I have chossen to serve humanity, to be a slave to all in my pursuit of winning souls.
This person is saying in as much as there is a possibility of winning a soul, he will do anythhing needed of him to win that soul. He will have no restrictions and no request will be demeaning for him to do. Just as a slave has no choice but to do the will of his master.

PMBs is saying feel free to come to me. what I can do for you,I will do. what I can not do, I wont do and no one can force me cos I belong to no one.
