We are all Debtors

“They agreed they were in this for good, completely together in prayer, the women included. Also Jesus’ mother, and his brother” Acts 1:14 (The Message Version)

Study Passage: Ephesians 4

In the body of Christ there are no graceless Christians, we all have a measure of grace given unto us by heaven. However the release of this grace has purpose, which is for the common good of everyone in the body. As long as you and I carry Gods anointing, we are debtors to the body of Christ.
So any one that sits on God’s gift and fails to give generously to the body of Christ is a wicked servant and a thief.  So the question is are you a wicked servant or thief?

In God’s design no one stands alone, nor operates in isolation. You are owned by two always, God himself first and the Brethren second. In a different blog post we will discuss how we can belong to the brethren and yet not become unavailable for God.  I guess that settles the question the paragraph might have arisen in your heart of the exploitative nature of people even so called brethren.

Why are we debtors, we are debtors because we all have been given a measure of grace, only Christ our master, has a measureless grace out of which he shares with us. Therefore since we all have measured grace, we are designed to complement each other until the body of Christ comes unto perfection.  Please note that having a measured grace does not imply weakness or inferiority, it shows off the dynamism of our Creator King! And to the level of measure you have, it is unto that level that you are indebted. To whom much is given much is expected. The beauty of operating in ones measured grace is that it kills envy and jealousy.

Dear friends, the gifts of the spirit are meant for service not decoration, and no one chooses the type they want, it is the Lord of the harvest that assigns and administers to all according to the measure of grace. In order to ensure we all utilize our grace and gifts we must ensure to walk with the administrator to give us the right posting. Because until you are in the right place or posting, you struggle for space to operate.
If the church must grow in our generation we must allow the administrator, the Holy Spirit to work freely among us. Each man must face their own work, either as a planter or waterer, knowing that God is the one that gives increase.   



We must all leave this level of petty jealousy and support one another, the enemy of the Church are united against us, and we are here fighting on denominational level and doctrines that would not save. Spiritual gifts are not worked for or learnt, they are gotten by the generosity of God and we must know that our God is not a showman, he works as he pleases.

Common Sense

Joshua 9:1-26 “The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not enquire of the lord. Then Joshua made a treaty of peace with then to let them live and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath”. V 14-15. The issue of using ones common sense has been an issue of division among the body of Christ, even in this generation of motivational speakers. Men are neglecting the place of consulting God on critic issues or even smaller matter like traveling. And some of this issues or matters have brought some great trouble to the body of Christ, individuals or  some trouble the Nation is facing now. From the Bible passage above, (Exodus 34:11-16) we saw how Joshua, a great servant of God, with the Israelite felled into this trap of common sense, because humanly speaking, checking of the provisions of the deceptive Gibeonite, was what common sense would do, but for them, they’ve forgotten that their life or being has gone beyond commonsense, God has been givi...

Family Prayer Series III: ALIGN WITH GOD

Reading & Meditation Joshua 24:1-15 “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” 15c We bless God for another gift of a day. We are still on the issue of the praying family. Another suggestion in helping our family pray together is the issue of aligning with God. Joshua from our today’s, passage, understood God’s purpose for himself and family, and would have probably be teaching them, practicing and obeying them with his family as instructed by God in Deuteronomy. This made him stand to the end, and at his good old age, he was still with God and could declare for his family; that they are partner with the Lord, till death. For your family to begin praying, then you must align with God’s plan and purpose. Before praying as a family, the family purpose and plans must be known by all members involved, provided they can understand issues of life. The place of your family in God’s scheme should be sought in prayer first. And over all, our goal in prayer ...
