The mind of Christ to His Church

in MCGI Cares Hive3 years ago

In as much as we know that effective communication is so much important for individuals the same wise Christ himself understands the importance of effective communication not just to us personally as individuals but also to His body. He desires to speak to His body, His Church at any given time especially through important vessels, the Prophet, Apostle......
Colossians 4:16
[16]And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

The epistle is a letter that contains

The mind of Christ to His Church

1 Corinthians 2:16
[16]For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

The instructions of Christ to His Church

2 Timothy 3:16
[16]All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

The truth of Christ:

John 1:17
[17]For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
John 8:45
[45]And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Acts 26:25
[25]But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

The revelation of Christ:

At every opportunity Christ will always have a revelation for his body just like the same way He gave revelation to John, this is done basically to reveal the status of his Church, His body. Many a times , we really don't know how the church is, we are always carried away with the activities and power dimension which always puts us on the assumption that we are always in the right will of the father.
Revelation 1:1,11
[1]The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
[11]Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
But remember the Revelation Christ gave John concerning the Seven Churches, look at how deprived and bankrupt they were despite the good things that were even said of them by Christ. They weren't just on track, that tells us that even as individuals we could be doing good things and spiritual stuffs but we might actually be off track with what the perfect picture is. Amen.
Revelation 2:2-4
[2]I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
[3]And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast labored, and hast not fainted.
[4]Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

The will and mandate of Christ for His Church :

The most important mandate of Christ to His Church, is simply to make disciples
Matthew 28:19-20
Matthew 28:19-20
[19]Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
[20]Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

It contains the Judgment of Christ for His Church.

1 Peter 4:17
[17]For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Many believers have come to this conclusion that the Church is going to escape the judgment of Christ, but we thank The Father by the Spirit that he has communicated this to us through the Apostles that judgment must begin from His household before it proceeds to the Nations of the earth 🌍. The way of judgment might not be the same but harm yourself with this truth that the Church will be judged, this makes you stand lest you fall according to Paul.
1 Corinthians 10:12
[12]Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
These epistles were never written to the nations of the earth nor to men in power, it was written only to the people of God, His Body, and His Church .

This Epistle is written to equip the Saints, not to encourage nations .

It was written to Perfect the Church, not to perfect the nations.

Ephesians 5:27
[27]That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

It was written to prepare His Church for His coming

It was written to build the Church of Christ and not to build any nation.

Ephesians 4:12-14
[12]For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
[13]Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

The content of the Epistles must be taught accurately by special men and the power of the Spirit which guide believers into all truth. This is done to prevent every true believer to have a proper understanding of what The mind of Christ is to his Church and that is why He has raised up special men such as Apostles, Prophets ,Teachers, Pastors.... To ensure that all content are communicated well and effectively.

You must have this at the front of your mind 😇😂, that nothing else matters to Christ than His Church,
And if their is anything that moves Christ, that must be His Church,
If their is a prayer He wants to hear, it is the prayer of His Church.

May the Lord bless His word . Amen. Shalom
