Dear friends, do not believe every spirit,
but test the spirits to see whether they
are from God, because many prophets
have gone out into the world.
This is how you recognize the Spirit of
God: Every spirit that acknowledges that
Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
but every spirit that does not acknowledge
Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of
antichrist, which you have heard is coming
and even now is already in the world.
You, dear children, are from God and have
overcome them, because the One Who is in
you is greater than the one who is in the world.
They are from the world and therefore speak
from the viewpoint of the world and the world
listens to them. We are from God, whoever knows
God listens to us. But whoever is not from God
does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the
Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
(I. John 4.1-6).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
And His gifts were varied, He Himself appointed and gave some
to be apostles (special messengers),some prophets (inspired preachers
and expounders),some evangelists (preachers of the Good News,
traveling missionaries), some pastors ( shepherds of His flock) and
teachers.
His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints
(His consecrated people),so that they should do the work of
ministering toward the building up Christ’s body, the Church.
Until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension
of the full and accurate knowledge of the Son of God, that we might
arrive at really mature adulthood, the excellence of personality
which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own
perfection, the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ and
the completeness found in Him.
(Ephesians 4.11-13).
POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE
1) We are blessed with various gifts to fulfil the positions
needed to perform the five-fold ministry. Namely, apostles,
prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers in order to equip
the saints to build up the Church until we all come to the full
unity and maturity of the knowledge of God’s Son and His full
stature with His completeness and full measure of perfection.
2) We thank our Lord and Savior for His grace gifts which enable
us to fulfil these roles and help edify His body, knowing Him better
and as His Church is built up to the fullness of Him we grow in His
grace, knowledge and understanding to glorify Him more and more.
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
You are built upon
the foundation of
the apostles and
prophets with Christ
Jesus Himself the
chief Cornerstone.
In Him the whole
structure is joined
together
harmoniously and
continues to rise
into a holy temple
in the Lord.
(Ephesians 2.20 and 21).
POINTS FOR REFLECTION
AND PRAISE
1) We are now in Christ
Jesus our Lord part of
His holy body
the spiritual temple.
2) With Jesus Christ as
the chief Cornerstone
and based on the
foundation of the
prophets and apostles
the entire holy
structure rises and
continues to grow.
3) We also grow spiritually
with the entire spiritual
structure as we are
dedicated and consecrated
to the presence of God.
HALLELUJAH!
PRAISES TO JESUS
