Today's Focus: You are an IMPORTANT person also in the BODY of Christ in this World!
We have been called to LIBERTY (freedom) to SERVE one another in LOVE in the Body of Christ. NO one is IMPORTANT more than the other in the Body of Christ in this World, because the same SPIRIT of Christ dwells in each of us manifesting UNIQUELY through each of us in this World. True! (Romans 8:9-14; 1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4).
The Bible reveals to us thus:
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, FORBEARING one another in love; Endeavouring to KEEP the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is ONE body, and ONE Spirit, even as you are called in ONE hope of your calling; ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE God and Father of all, who is ABOVE all, and THROUGH all, and IN you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. (Ephesians 4:2-7).
Therefore, it is ignorant for anyone in the Body of Christ to think, speak and act as though we are more IMPORTANT than any other person in the Body of Christ in this World. True!
This is because every ONE has been GIVEN something in Christ by God the Father to contribute or to SERVE others with in the Body of Christ in this World. No one is USELESS in the Body of Christ in this World. True!
Everyone has something to SUPPLY in the Body of Christ in this World. I mean EVERYONE. True!
The Bible reveals to us thus:
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the Head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which EVERY joint SUPPLIES, according to the effectual working in the measure of EVERY part, MAKES increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. (Ephesians 4:15,16).
That is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:
For, brethren, you have been CALLED unto LIBERTY; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; thou shalt LOVE your neighbour as yourself. But if you BITE and DEVOUR one another, take heed that you be NOT consumed one of another. (Galatians 5:13-15).
You have something to give or contribute in the Body of Christ in this World. Discover your own GIFTS and CALLING as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World and starts SERVING others in LOVE with it and you will be pleasing God with your life in the Body of Christ in this World and He will REWARD you here on Earth now and in Heaven some day. True! (Romans 11:29).
That is why Apostle Paul sent a timely and very important message to Archippus as I am sent today to you thus:
And say to Archippus, take heed to the MINISTRY which you have RECEIVED in the Lord, that you FULFILL it. (Colossians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Philippians 3:13,14; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).
Discover your AFFLUENCE (being blessed) potentials and place and INFLUENCE (being a blessing) potentials and place in Christ in this World and develop and deliver potentials (gifts, abilities, skills and talents) faithfully to the Body of Christ and humanity each day and you will never remain the same again on Earth. Everything about and around you will CHANGE for good and great in Christ in this World to the glory of God the Father. True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Ephesians 1:2-7; Matthew 5:13-16).
Don't be deceived!
Don't be INTIMIDATED!
You that intimidate others in the Body of Christ, repent now and take to heart the counsel of Apostle Paul thus:
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, NOT to think of himself MORE highly than he ought to think; but to THINK soberly, according as God has dealt to EVERY man the measure of faith. For as we have MANY members in ONE body, and ALL members have NOT the same office: So WE, being many, are ONE body in Christ, and EVERY one members one of another. Having then gifts DIFFERING according to the GRACE that is GIVEN to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teaches, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness. Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. (Romans 12:3-9; Philippians 2:5-11).
You have something to offer to the Body of Christ specifically and humanity generally. You are an IMPORTANT person. Therefore, ARISE and SHINE it to the World. (Isaiah 60:1-3; Matthew 5:13-16).
Jesus Christ, our ultimate rile model for thinking, speaking and lliving on Earth to please God the Father purposefully said thus:
I MUST work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the LIGHT of the World. (John 9:4,5; John 4:34).
Remember, the Bible reveals to us that as JESUS CHRIST is, so are WE in this World. (1 John 4:17).
It is TIME to let your manifestation of WHO (person) and WHAT (purpose) you are in Christ do the speaking of your existence in Christ in this World. True! (Ephesians 5:15-18).
Today's Focus from Scripture:
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, NOT to think of himself MORE highly than he ought to think; but to THINK soberly, according as God has dealt to EVERY man the measure of faith. For as we have MANY members in ONE body, and ALL members have NOT the same office: So WE, being many, are ONE body in Christ, and EVERY one members one of another. (Romans 12:3-5).
Take note, take heed!
