Devotion 106

Eph 4:15-16 “But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into Him, who is the head – Christ. From Him the whole body, fitted and knitted together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for the building of itself in love by the proper working of each individual part.”

God designed us to be knitted into His family through faith in Jesus and that Jesus would be the head of this Great Family. He also designed it that each individual have a unique, important, role to play in building and caring for the body. Some people in the body are more visible than others, but each one is needed. I realize more and more that The Body of Christ is lying in pieces all over the earth as the individual members refuse to come together. Everyone does his own thing and wants his own glory.
We see it in our city as each group just does their own thing with very little cooperation and cross pollination between groups. Friends, come one now man!! Get out of your little spiritual neighborhood and start working with other to achieve the common goal of building the Body. It is time to start reaching across those church boundaries and see how our groups can work together and show the world that we are indeed one. Jesus said that the world would now we are His disciples by our love. Let the church walls disappear and let us be One Body with one Vision – to make the way for the King to come back.
