WE ARE CHRIST

1 Corinthians 12:12 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. (KJV)

When we say we are Christ some Christians get offended and argue. But what is Christ? Christ is the image of the invisible God -- Colossians 1:15. What is the image of God? The expression or representation of God. When we got born again we were added to Christ and became Christ. 1 Corinthians 6:17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

We are one with the Lord by our spirit. This means our spirit and Christ has become one spirit-being, the image of God, which is Christ. We have put on Christ; His nature, life and identity, and have become Christ. 

Our theme scripture gives us a clear picture. 1 Corinthians 12:12 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. 

It means by this that Christ has one body, the church and, one head Jesus. Jesus and the Church is Christ. There is no Christ without Jesus, there is no Christ without the Church. And you and I are the Church. We are Christ. 
For by the Holy Spirit we all have been immersed completely into the Body of Christ. Whatever we were doesn't matter anymore, now we are all Christ. 
1 Corinthians 12:13-14 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.

Glory to God! And the head of the Body is Jesus Christ. In Ephesians 5:23 the word "Christ" is used as the head of the Body. Don't be confused about this. In the scriptures Christ is used in place of the Name Jesus, and also used in place of the Church. There is no confusion. Jesus is Christ. The Church is Christ. 
Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Every child of God should learn these truths and walk in the light of it. 

PRAYER

Thank You Father for the revelation of Christ in the Church, and thank You for the revelation of Christ in me. Indeed we are Christ, joined to the head the Lord Jesus. Together with the Lord Jesus we are your temple, your body, your image and your glory, giving full expression to the fullness of the Godhead bringing praise, honour and glory to your Name. Amen!

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th MARCH 2024 BE POWER CONSCIOUS Ephesians 1:19-20 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, (NIV) As a Christian you are not without power. If you are not walking in power it might be that you don't know you have power or you don't understand the power or you are not conscious of it. The above Scripture is clear on what it says. It says that God's incomparably great power is for us who believe. And it emphasize that it is the same power God used to raise Christ from the dead. That's interesting! It's important that you understand the power referred here and what it means to you. God's power is not in measure. In other words God doesn't have small and great. The same power with which He created the world is the same that parted the red sea, by i...

DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL Chapter 2 Episode 2

EPISODE 2 WOLF IN SHEEP SKIN She is the pretender that cannot be caught easily. The daughter of Jezebel is very gentle and appears innocent. She is calm and quiet, and seems submissive. She obeys you and does everything you ask her, she always wants to help. With these she easily win the heart of the man of God.  She is that fellow that springs surprises.  She is very committed and prayerful but if you take her to be your wife you would be amazed that she oppose praying. You say dear "come let's pray together." Then she replies "I am not ready for that at all."   Before now she used to pray alot in church, she was the prayer director. She sings like an Angel but now you never heard her pray or sing at home. Since you got married to her she has been a totally different person from who you know at church. In fact she is the opposite of who you knew her to be. All the good behavior she put up before now and her services at church was only sheep skin on wolf nature....

Chapter 2 ON YOUR WAY TO THE TOP

Chapter two INSPIRATION Another thing you will find on your way to the Top is inspiration. Inspiration means an arousal or being stir up from within to take an action or embark on a course. If you don't have it getting to the Top is impossible. You will rely on inspiration to go higher and higher in life. If you are not inspired or stirred up from within to be about anything don't venture into it, it might fail. If you are not inspired to get to the Top in your endeavor, career or profession you may never get there. Whatever you do and wherever you go never leave inspiration behind, if you do you may get stranded on your way. Inspiration pushes you to continue even inspite of challenges. If everything else leaves you and inspiration stays everything else would come back, because nothing and no one goes far without inspiration. It's just a matter of time they will come back. Your success on your way to the Top is tied to inspiration, you may stop succeeding if you stop being...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th AUGUST 2024 HE SATISFIES YOU EARLY Psalms 90:14 Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days! (NKJV) God want you to be established early in life. He doesn't want you behind time or destiny. He takes pleasure when you are ahead not behind in life. He satisfies you early, that means, He makes you success early in life.  There are people who became what God wanted them when they were old. Even though they became it they couldn't do much nor enjoy their days as much as they should.  The resultant effect when He satisfies us early, Moses said "That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!"  God want us to rejoice and be glad all our days. He doesn't want us gloom, sad and unsatisfied through life. You won't be truly joyful and glad when you know what you should be that you haven't.  We know joy is of the Holy Spirit and it is independent of circumstances. But ther...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th JUNE 2024 HIS LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE AND REPRESENTATION 2 Corinthians 5:20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. (NIV) An Ambassador means a representative. We are therefore Christ representatives in this world. A representative's job is not to air his ideas and authority or power but to simply convey the message of the one he represents and to do that also in his authority.  We are God's legal representatives; that means He has authorized us to represent him and speak His message. And even more than this is being His representation. Being God's representation means being the express image of His Person, His visibility, His bodily form or being. It simply means God in Person; being God's Person. That's what Jesus was when He walked the earth. Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exac...
