YOU ARE OF THE BODY OF CHRIST
"Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular." Scripture teaches us that we are the church - the body of Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:27
Main Text:
Every believer is a needed part of the Body of Christ. We are very important to the parts, and it takes every one of us to make it complete. It’s like a jigsaw puzzle. When you build a jigsaw puzzle and you’ve got one part missing, what are you going to notice? A missing link. Beloved, are you the missing part in the body of Christ today?
God’s desires for His end time church is for her to walk in dominion and victory. The prophet Isaiah speaking by the Holy Spirit had a glimpse into what the church should walk in.
Jesus is the head of His church, we are the body of that church. Prophet Isaiah speaking figuratively says, the government is upon his shoulder Isaiah 9:6-7. This implies that the world in general (including the church) must submit themselves to His leadership and dominion.
Thinking about the parts of the body helps us understand the way spiritual gifts work in the church, the people who make up the body of Christ. This reminds us that working together, with everyone using their gifts and talents, makes the tasks to be accomplished much easier
We were taught in elementary school parts of the body, and it’s a known fact that the shoulder is part of the body not the head, God expects you and I to positions for power, hold positions of influence and affluence in the society and world as a whole for the primary purpose of enforcing His will on the earth.
Ephesians 1:22 makes us understand that all things are under our feet as long as we remain a part of His body.
Begin to walk in this new light of victory and dominion.
Prayer: Father, I remain a useful part of the vine yard and I will not be cut off
