*TODAY’S THEME: United to move mountains (1)*
TEXT: 1 Corinthians 12:12-16
"[12]For just as the body is a unity and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
[13]For by [means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit.
[14]For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many.
[15]If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body?
[16]If the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body?"
*SHOWER:*
Our God is wonderful. Have you ever wake up one day to ask yourself why the creator (God) carved out or created two to more things (parts) in your body? He is one God (Gen. 1:1, John 1:3) yet He is so generous that He gave each of us two hands, two legs, two eyes, etc. He made sure that none could function effectively without another (except those with special needs, whom He also provided with special alternatives to live and relate with all comfortably). Have you ever asked yourself why? He went on to tell us to go into the world to multiply, and to preach the Gospel to all Nations. So, why the complaints? Why are we so much divided because of denominational and religious differences, etc. God is telling us today to have a rethink; ponder over the past, today and tomorrow. Together we must serve him in diverse ways because we are from one God, and should serve one God. (We shall talk more on this tomorrow and next).
*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*
Oh God, I thank You for another opportunity like this. Please help me understand why I am a part of a body so that I can function effectively in Jesus name, Amen!
*1. O God, I am sorry that I allowed my canal mind to make me neglect Your creatures. I am now back and ready to treat all kindly.*
*2. God created me in His own image just as He created others. Therefore, nothing will make me discriminate against my neighbors.*
*3. Therefore, as I am stepping out today, I shall manifest His power.*
*4. I hereby decree and declare that any part of my body that is sick shall receive instant Divine healing. And must glorify the name of God.*
*5. I shall manifest the power of the Holy Ghost in my life, family, business, work place, residence, town and world over in Jesus name, men!*
