One Body
1 Corinthians
6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (KJV)
The two became
one so making peace.
The world would
have you believe that one is a lonely number, but guess what? It isn’t; so
much for the worlds point of view! When you are one with the Lord you are
never alone. You have the power of the Godhead bodily within you; you
become a part of the body of Christ with other members to help in the time
of need. We as members of the body of Christ are not the same for a reason,
for where one member lacks another is there to support it.
Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one
body in Christ, and every one members one of another. (KJV)
If you think that you are alone take look
at 1Corinthians 12:12-27. Are you? The devil would like you to believe that
you are alone, even when you have others around you. His lies tell us that
no one understands and that we have to figure this out on our own. Many in
this world take their life because they gave heed more to the lies than to
the truth, which is sad to say the least, as it grieves our Father’s heart
that they did not seek Him or His truth in Christ. Now the truth of the
matter is this, that you do have a Spiritual family that is praying for
you, supporting you, and encouraging you in your walk with the Lord on the
path of life; whether it is by word, deed, prayer and supplication, or
visiting you in the Spirit. So please don’t go it alone, don’t let the
devil talk you into it! Resist the devil and he will flee. Reach out to
your Spiritual family; let them help you get through whatever you are going
through; let the Lord provide the strength and comfort however He chooses
too. We are all in this race together, yet one receives the prize, the body
of Christ who finishes together as One.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than
one; because they have a good reward for their labour. (10) For if they
fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he
falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. (11) Again, if two lie
together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? (12) And if
one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is
not quickly broken. (KJV)
This race is no longer about you; it is
about operating in the Spirit as one body in Christ.
Exodus 17:11-12 And it came to pass, when
Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his
hand, Amalek prevailed. (12) But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a
stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed
up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and
his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. (KJV)
See…the body working together as one, and
all have the victory. What a concept. You and I, in one body, working
together for the good of the whole. Yes, there are many members, but there
is only one body in which we have life and life more abundantly, the body
of Christ.
Remember my dear brethren that we are all
one in Christ Jesus. Don’t go it alone and don’t let anyone else go it
alone either. Be instant in season and out of season, ready and willing to
lay down your life for the brethren. God bless.
