"For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones" (Ephesians 5:30).

Were the body of Christ. Were members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. Were intimately connected to Him and to one another. In 1 Corinthians 12:26, Paul further explains this unity: And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

This means that every Christian has a specific role and function within the body of Christ. When one part of the body is affected, the entire body feels it. Were not isolated individuals but interconnected members of the same bodyChrists body. Ephesians 1:23 reveals the power and authority given to the Church: And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body.

The Church, being the body of Christ, carries His authority and power on earth. Ephesians 4:11-12 gives us an insight into how He builds His Church today: And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.

The word edifying means building; its the same word the Lord Jesus used when He said, I will build my church (Matthew 16:18). Through the fivefold ministry offices and the work of every Christian, He builds His Church. The whole body grows by that which every joint supplies: From him the whole bodygrows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work (Ephesians 4:16 NIV).

Every time a soul is won, its like adding another block to the building. Those who minister are like builders, placing each block in its proper place. Each Christian is a specific member of the bodythe building. Together, were building a magnificent structure, the body of Christ. As we continue to win souls and grow, the Church becomes more beautiful and impactful, reflecting the glory of Christ. This isnt a task for a select few but for every Christian. Each of us has a role to play, and together, were building something extraordinary for Gods glory.

Prayer

Dear Father, I understand my role and actively participate in building your Church. Im graced to win souls and strengthened to fulfil my calling. I declare that your Church shines as a beacon of hope and power in the world, as it is a praise in the earth, in Jesus Name. Amen.
