Jesus has ONLY ONE BODY here on earth– and it is the CHURCH.

His BODY is INTACT not DECAPITATED nor amputated nor SEVERED, it is whole and complete - not divided but it has MANY MEMBERS.

Each member has its own function. Imagine if the most sensitive part does not perform its responsibility to coordinate with the other parts of the body or it seized to operate in its design the other parts will feel the pain. [Read 1Cor. 12]

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. [Romans 12:4,5]

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?  And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?  But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased Him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked. That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. [1Cor 12:12-27]

Jesus came to break every partition, every wall and every barrier that creates division amongst His people.  Many churches are trying to separate themselves from everybody else. They identify themselves as being set apart for a purpose which should not be.

There is ONLY:

·       ONE GOSPEL:

TO PREACH and TEACH JESUS-His death and Resurrection until He comes. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth . . . [Romans 1:16]

·       ONE MISSION:

TO Win Souls For THE KINGDOM OF GOD - Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

·       ONE MINISTRY:

The Ministry of Reconciliation. We are all ambassadors of the Living God representing the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. Therefore, being conscious of fearing the Lord with respect and reverence, we seek to win people over [to persuade them]. But what sort of persons we are is plainly recognized and thoroughly understood by God, and I hope that it is plainly recognized and thoroughly understood also by your consciences (your inborn discernment). So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God.  For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].

A branch that is cut off from the other branches will wither and die. The Lord said, “Be ye separate and come out from among them”. Be separated from the world and the things of the world for he who loves the world is the enemy of God. He did not say to be separate from those of the  household of FAITH, but rather from the world. We sometimes or most of the time compare ourselves with one another –who is greater or better. Paul’s word of encouragement to everyone, “For I say to every man that is among you, through the grace given unto me, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”  [Romans 12:3] Jesus says it this way: “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant”. Matthew 23:11 If you want to be the greatest- then S-E-R-V-E …

Others say I am from this church and you are from that church so there are differences - we try to identify ourselves from amongst ourselves not realizing that we should be ONE as the God Head is ONE: As He Is so are we in this world. We cannot say that we are the “only” church-  Christ is not divided-there is UNITY in Him. Elijah at one point  said “I am the ONLY PROPHET. . .”, but the Lord said to him, “I have reserved 7,000 other prophets who did not bow down to Baal”.  Sometimes we think we are the only one doing the TRUE WORKS of the LORD, but we fail to understand He has other sheep who are obedient to His call and we do not even know it. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. [Romans 8:28]

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.  For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of (put the name of the church), that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of (Name of Your Church) and I of (Name of their Church) and I of (Name of other Church); and I of Christ.  Is Christ divided? was (His Church) crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of (their church)? Who then is [His Name], and who is [Her Name] but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? [Your Name] have planted, [Other Name] watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [1Cor 1:10-13; 1Cor 3:]

SO, I should say that we should put a STOP to this matter which is not pleasing to the Lord . . . and just FOCUS our eyes to the Author and Finisher of our Faith, the Shepherd and Bishop of our soul. Peter asked Jesus, “Lord what shall this man do?” Jesus, answered Him, “If I will that he tarry till I come, What is that to you? FOLLOW THOU ME!!!”.

We should not seek the Praise of men but the Praise and Approval of God.

Be Blessed.

Yahashua Ha Mashiach

The Lion of the Tribe of Judah

BE SOBER and BE VIGILANT

1Peter 5:6-11 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

      Be sober,

      Be vigilant;

because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

The thief cometh not,

      but for to steal,

     and to kill,

      and to destroy:

I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I Am the Good Shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. [John 10:10,11]

WE HAVE AN ADVERSARY

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,

    but against principalities,

    against powers,

    against the rulers of the darkness of this world,

    against spiritual wickedness in high places.

[Ephesians 6:10-18]

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. [2 Corinthians 10:3-6]

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.  Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.] Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. [1Timothy 6:11; 2 Timothy 2: 22]

This is my first post which is under construction.

“Give us this day our daily bread:  man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God”

The ABC’s of SALVATION

A-acknowledge that you have fallen short of the Glory of God- a sinner in need of a Saviour. The scripture, clearly says that ALL HAVE SINNED and NO ONE IS RIGTHEOUS IN THE EYES OF GOD; NO ONE SEEKS GOD. Everyone has gone on their own ways. So you are not excused from the judgment of God whoever you are. You cannot escape from God’s wrath that is to come upon all men.

Acts 2:38 [1] Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, [2] and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.

Acts 3: 19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. 20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

B-believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because e hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

C-confess Him before men.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto Righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.

You need to confess Him before men.

Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

A Sinner’s Prayer to Receive Jesus as Savior

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come to You in the Name of Jesus.

Your Word says, “. . . him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37), so I know You won’t cast me out, but You take me in and I thank You for it.

You said in Your Word, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:13). I am calling on Your Name, so I know You have saved me now.

You also said “. . . if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Rom. 10:9–10). I believe in my heart Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe that He was raised from the dead for my justification, and I confess Him now as my Lord.

Because Your Word says, “. . . with the heart man believeth unto righteousness . . .” and I do believe with my heart, I have now become the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor. 5:21) . . . And I am saved!

Thank You, Lord!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Please come into my heart and forgive me of my sins. I want to receive you as my Lord and Saviour. I want to be born again.

I receive you now as my Lord and Saviour. I receive God as my Father.

Thank you for saving me.

Amen
