𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝,

How I pray that we come to a full understanding of our role as the church in our world today. The church is not just a monument, it a living body. It is Christ's body, therefore it has a role to play in this present time. The church is not one man, it is a people.

What has Jesus recently done through you? There is a thin line between working for God (what you do for Him) and allowing Him to work His work through you (what He does with you). Severally, we may have done some things for God which were not acceptable offerings, however, when we permit Him to work His work through us it will always be an acceptable offering.

Has Jesus recently gained permission to use your lips to speak to the world? Has He used your hands to reach out or your feet to go out? Have you offered your body a living sacrifice to Him, saying use it as you please? 𝑵𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝑮𝒐𝒅'𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌, 𝑯𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒔 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒖𝒔.

Listen friends, the answers to the world's unanswered questions rest in the church. It is the world that needs a people filled with the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. It isn't the people who need the world system. 𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒚 𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒐 𝒘𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒈𝒐 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒖𝒆, 𝒊𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒘𝒆 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒖𝒔.

Jesus wants to fill the banking sector, He wants to fill the educational sector, He wants to fill up families, homes, libraries, schools, offices, bedrooms, organizations, studios, etcetera. And He depends on the church (people filled by his spirit).

I said on Monday that not every Christian is the body of Christ. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭. Have you permitted him to fill you? If Christ doesn't fill you, how can you be His body and how can He fill everything through you?
