GOD SET YOU IN THE CHURCH 1
“And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.”
1 Corinthians 12:28 (KJV)
The Church which is the body of Christ, is the agency or the conduit established by God to fulfill His mandate or agenda.
The building of the Church is essentially the work of our Lord Jesus.
However, for the Lord to build His Church (which is His body), He has to set functional members into the body. There is no well-built and healthy body without effective and healthy members.
When you look at the human body, it has many parts, which are members that make the body function effectively according to God’s design.
Imagine a body without hands, or legs, lungs, kidneys, and heart. The body will not be a healthy one.
God set or placed each of the various body parts to make the body function effectively.
Each member or part of the body has a unique duty. And God dexterously designed it to be so.
“For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many. 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?
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?
If the whole body were an eye, where [would be the sense of] hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where [would be the sense of] smell?
But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each [particular one] of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the best adaptation. But if [the whole] were all a single organ, where would the body be?” 1 Corinthians 12:14-19 (AMPC)
Beloved, the Body of Christ (the Church) is as well designed to function just as the human body is. The Body of Christ (the Church) has many parts or members. These members have unique functions in the body according to God’s design, desire, and purpose.
When you became born again, God set you in the body of Christ as a member with a unique function.
You have a special assignment in the body of Christ; take your place and be a blessing.
Shalom.
