You alone do not make the Big Picture
Ok body of Christ, let’s talk
When you get a person saved or set him on fire for God, to what end?
When you ask people to pray for 12 hours and more at a stretch, to what end?
When you feed him with the word of God so that at the snap of a finger, he can give the exegetical analysis of almost any doctrine in scripture, to what end?
This is a tricky one, when you emphasize that salvation is the focus of God for the earth, that the fields are white for harvest, to what end is the salvation of the soul.
Body of Christ, hearken to this counsel, take time to understand the ETERNAL AGENDA of God and what role your assignment plays in it.
Only then can you truly fit into the big picture and also see where others fit in without you castigating them.
Today, what we have is everyone emphasizing their calling. Everyone believes his calling is crucial for destinies in this Kingdom.
The revivalist will shout that you must be burning for God, praying in tongues for hours.
The evangelist will scream that what is your usefulness to the kingdom if you cannot win souls for Christ?
And many other things.
Personally, I emphasize the Holy Spirit. For a Body without the Spirit is dead.
Yet, none of us makes the complete picture.
…that which every joint supplies…
Every joint must supply his own to make it all work.
Please when you are delivering your message to God’s people, kindly understand that you’re part of a chain and what you have is not all there is. I understand that some messages can cover more than others but nobody has it all.
If I begin an exegetical analysis of the mainline messages in the Body today and ask you some questions now, you will see that even the most passionate or spiritual of them all does not have it all.
God ensured this.
Otherwise, there would be no need for the rest of us.
So, please let us all pay attention to the BIG PICTURE while we’re delivering our QUOTAS.
PS: The big picture involves getting the perfect picture of ‘His creation’ to the earth and He gets to be glorified. The original template in His heart. (We’ll deal with this soon).
PPS: kindly forgive any typos or constructive errors.
If this goes through full editing, you might not get to have it. (Just kidding, of course).
Love you Body of Christ, whatever the name of your local assembly is.
