Body of Christ
Body of Christ
Apostle Aje Pelser
Over the last 10 years, apostle Andre has mentioned the Body of Christ is various contexts. I have attempted to highlight some of the scriptures that were underlined in the apostolic Reformation, with the necessary applications.
God?s word gives us Genetic Codes that build the configuration of the Body of Christ.
Although many have tried understand the operations of the Body, it is only when one becomes part of a local body of believers, that one begins to understand.The basic building blocks of genetic engineering are the DNA strands which in which one finds the genomes that make up the creature?s genetic code. Each strand is importance. A slight mutation will result in an entirely different end result altogether.
Codes work in specific combinations.
1 Cor. 12:28 gives a specific genetic code for the appointment of offices in a local church.
One could refer to the list of the body Christ based on this scripture and fill in your individual part.
Each genome has a function, every genetic code unlocks a different potential in the body.
Eph. 4:15, 16 this scripture has resulted in the spreading of the workload in the body of Christ.
In 1995, we moved to a school hall. We had to set up and take down sound every week. After 2 years our sound man was ready to retire. Looking to the body to fulfill these tasks resulted in home cells working once in 5 weeks on the sound ? about 10 Sundays per year. Each part did their share and caused growth in the body for the building up of itself in love of God and His work.
TEAM = together everyone accomplishes more.
Codes are linked to Christ the Head of the Church
There is a communication with head quarters.
The genetic codes of the Body of Christ are orchestrated by the Holy Spirit.
Think of the Holy Spirit?s work at the planting of the very first church ? filling the believers and empowering them to be witnesses to Jesus Christ throughout the know world. He constantly reminds of the words Jesus spoke and illuminates the scriptures of the Old Testament revealing their fulfillment in Christ and in a present reality ? ?This is that?. His gifts and fruits are harvested by the church through abiding in Christ. He inspires the New Testament writers to compile a genetic code for church that is still being applied today, 2000 years later.
These codes ensure that Christ can operate through a body of believers in the World today.
Heb 10:5 ? ?a body you have prepared for me…? and verse 7 continues the encoding ?in the volume of the book it is written of Me to do your will O Lord.?
So we have a genetic code manual that explains how this body functions, and specifies the purpose of the body.
That is how we can see the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ ? not just individually but corporately.
A body has Communion
1 Cor. 10:17 – For we who are many are one body for we all partake of one bread.
Acts 2:42 ? And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayers.
Then one can implement 1 John 1:7
It states that if we walk in the light as He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
It makes sense that a member should be part of the body, or how will that member get the blood that carries the oxygen to it, and cleanses it of the carbon dioxide?
A body has cleansing mechanisms.
So pray and ask God:
?Show me how You want a church to function to manifest the presence of Christ.?
And further. ? Reveal my share in the genetic code of your body.?
