PROMOTING
LOVE AND HOLINESS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST: TUESDAY NOVEMBER 7
TEXT: I
CORINTHIANS12:12-14
Memory
Verse: Endeavouring to keep the unity of the
Spirit in the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:3
The body of Christ here talked about different people who believe
in one person (CHRIST) one faith (Christian Religion) different functionality
gearing toward one goal (Heaven) defending one course (the Gospel) dead into
one purpose (Baptism). Regenerated into an experience (Salvation), that is the
born-again experience forgiveness of sins, newness of life that is achieved
through the (Holy Spirit) by our lord Jesus Christ. If this is clearly understood, then love and
Holiness needs to be promoted among the members of the body of Christ, so as to
foster unity in Christendom. Today the division, the segregation, the hatred,
the sectionalism, the denominationalism is so alarming that even the heathen
doesn’t have such among them. Remember; Jesus the unifying factor that binds
His believers together says He is coming back for that same body that is one in
mind, one in faith, one in fellowship, one in Love, one in holiness and
righteousness. No wonder He asked His
disciples, shall I find faith when I shall come back? Therefore the church must
arise in defence of this body by promoting love and holiness among his members
irrespective of the denomination, size or number and popularity, for grace is
not equal upon all. So efforts must be made by great church leaders, the clergy
and the laity alike to see that this division existing in the body of Christ
whether in hatred against one another or in doctrine or in competition comes to
an end immediately. For we have one common archenemy, the devil.
The calling, the grace or anointing upon members of the body of
Christ is not the same, so for unity to be achieved every functional member
must submit, co-operate and respect one another in love, just the same way the
physical body which consist of many members work together before a man can be
seen as one body. If one member of the physical body has a challenge,
malfunction, refuse to work or in pain; that body could be said to be sick and
the body cannot stand on its feet. Every Christian, church leader and various
denomination should know that united we stand and divided we fall and heaven
which is the goal of every Christian will be far from achieving. Go on your
knees today and always and pray for the church.
Thought for
the day: United we
stand and divided we fall.
Song for the
day: It is so
sweet to trust in Jesus
