REVELATIONS FOR TODAY

by Pastor Michael Obata

The BODY United

5th January 2024

1 CORINTHIANS 12:7

New Living Translation (NLT)

7A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.

There is nothing like when the Body of Christ is united in the faith, and love. Genesis 11:6 says “… “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them!” The scripture in Ephesians 1:15 – 23 teaches us of the great power available to us when we are united. There the blessings and power of the LORD are made manifest. Nothing shall be impossible for us Christians when we are united. The scriptures in Psalms 133 says “Behold how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity! …….
It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing— Life forevermore. The blessings of the LORD rest on a family and even a church family where there is unity of mind and love, the church then experiences the overflow of GOD’s blessings.

Christ Jesus in Matthew 18:18-20 says “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. 20For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”  There is tremendous power available to us the heirs of salvation (saints) when we are united together in prayer. Nothing shall be impossible to us. All power and authority have been given to us to make changes in line with GOD’s will for us.

Christians or members of a family in the Body of Christ should not wait for individual, local, regional or global catastrophe before we unite in prayer or use spiritual gifts (Ephesians 4:11-13, 1 Corinthians 12 & 14). The HOLY SPIRIT is not given to the Church for fancy. The church of GOD is designed for the uplift, progress and overall well-being of one another, the church family, and the Body of Christ in general. Daniel 7:25 – He will speak words against the Most High [God] and wear down the saints of the Most High, and he will intend to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, [two] times, and half a time [three and one-half years]. We are living in challenging times. We can see unfolding before us the schemes of satan and his minions causing destruction, wearing out the saints and ushering policies and laws that contradict the laws of GOD. Not until the church (the BODY OF CHRIST) is taking away – Rapture (2 Thessalonians 2:6-7) we have all power and authority to push back and overcome anything that threatens our faith and way of life.

There is still much work to be done especially now that the harvest is plenty and the coming of Christ is very close. We must unite in prayer and have one mind and the same goal. Let us be selfless, have the GOD-kind of love (unconditional love) for one another, seeking the best for each other. John 13:34 – A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Scripture meditation:
1 Corinthians 1:10, Luke 10:19, Acts 2:17, James 5:16-18, & Matthew 26:41.

Prayer:
Gracious FATHER, grant all the saints all over the world the grace and the strength to always dwell together in unity. Let us be of one mind and the same judgement through the knowledge of Your WORD always. In JESUS’ NAME.

Confession:
I belong to the Body of Christ and the power of GOD is at work in me!
