Hello everyone,
When we look at the human body or an organisation, there is something called teamwork which is very important in order to achieve a specific goal. For the body, every cell receives a command from the brain in order to perform, there is the form of unity where nothing goes out of place, there is order as there is a function each cell, tissue, and organ is to perform. The same goes for everyone who are sons and daughters of God.
Romans 12:4 -5 says, “For as in one physical body we have many parts (organs, members) and all of these parts do not have the same function or use, so we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ (the Messiah) and individually we are parts one of another [mutually dependent on one another].” AMP. The Message version says, “In this way we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn’t amount to much, would we?”
Within the body of Christ, no matter what function or ability we operate on, we have to understand that we all have a common goal, in other words, Mr. A’s function at a point could require assisting Mr. B to achieve his mission. To make that clearer, a man is not an island and with that, we need each other to function as a team in achieving the collective goal even with our individual mission. It really doesn’t make any sense where there would be competition or disunity among ourselves, but sadly this is seen in the ecclesiastical organisational body of the church. If this happens, it implies we have no proper understanding of what our mission is, because we really need to work together, or hasn’t it occurred to you that we are the ones Jesus sent to save the world. Yes, He has paved the way for us through His resurrection, it is left to us to continue from where He stopped as He has given us the great commission before He went to heaven, therefore we know what to do.
Again Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” If the world is not transformed it is because the church is not doing its job. Jesus ensured that He gave those He came across a taste of perfection and we are to continue in His footstep to unleash heaven on earth, now that we have the fullness of Christ in us. If there is no unity in the body of Christ then there won’t be transformation here on earth and it means the body of Christ is not focused which is what the devil wants, and we shouldn't allow that.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
