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).

All of us know that wherever a man is all the members of his body are. It is impossible to separate a man from his body even though he is a spirit. The moment the spirit is separated the man is dead. And since Jesus is alive forevermore, whatever He is you are.

If He cannot be a victim of sickness, you cannot be. If He cannot die in an accident, you cannot. If His home cannot break yours cannot. This is because the same blood flows through you and Him. That is why the bible says; we are sited with Him far above all authority and dominion (Ephesians 2:6). Whatever Jesus is, He is for the church of which you are a part (Ephesians 1:20-23). Because He is sited in glory, our life must then reflect His glory (Ephesians 3:21). Because He is the judge of the heaven and earth, we are also (1Corinthans 6:2). That is why you must not joke with your regular membership of the church of Jesus Christ. Let no sin or association distract you. It is your day!

PRAYER: LORD, LET YOUR GLORY FLOW THROUGH MY LIFE.

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

THE GRACIOUS

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
