MEMBER OF HIS BODY

MEMBER OF HIS BODY I Corinthians 12:24-28 Devotional:- “Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually” (V. 27) NKJV      The Bible refers to us as members of the body of Christ or as part of the body of Christ. This truth brings us to the light of understanding of your importance, as a part of the Church. But more than that is the understanding by the same scripture that you as an individual are a member of Christ's body. The ‘body’ here can therefore be seen in two dimensions. It interprets the church as a single group and a team. It also interprets that each member as being part of the body of Jesus Christ. He is the head and we are the body. We have become members of His body by His Spirit that dwells in us (1 Corinthians 3:16).

SPIRIT CONNECTION


Scripture Reading: Job 32:1-9

Devotional Verse –
“But there is a spirit within people, the breath of the Almighty within them, that makes them intelligent” (V. 8)

Man in his nature can only see the physical things but perceive spiritual things. Most people have little or no understanding of the affairs of the spirit. Man needs to realize that he is not just spiritual, but he is a spirit made in likeness of God who is a Spirit (Genesis 1:20-27). It is important we know that man receives from God through his spirit (John 3:27).


The word of God says there is a spirit in every man but it is the breath of God that gives them understanding. This talks about the impact of the Spirit in the life of every man. It is by our spirit that we can connect with God because He is a Spirit (John 4:24). We can therefore receive the ability to prosper by His breath on us. His breath on us comes to inspire our mind to action. Our understanding becomes receptive to information as the spirit breathe on us (Ephesians 1:17-18). This is how God empower us to prosper.

We will be able to connect with God for this ability to prosper as we fellowship in His presence regularly. This should be mostly personal time with God alone or with the church (Psalms 84:7). That is why each of us as children of God should not joke with the issue of fellowship with God. It is for us to contact revelation for the strength of the spirit. This in turn makes us intelligence to prosper. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to enjoy the blessing of your Spirit
“YOU ARE HELPLESS WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE SPIRIT”
