One of my favourite Apostles was Paul. My life has been a
rather rollercoaster with a time of great joy and happiness on the farm to a
low of living off scraps and garbage in the big city and wondering if there is
light at the end of the tunnel. Paul lived life to the fullest in the service
of the governing religious authority and then was brought low to the point of
relying on the generosity of a stranger for his needs. When he fully understood
the roll in the Kingdom plan, he fully grasped the fullness of God’s being and
went forward with great fervour.
Over the past nine years, I have come to better understand
his ministry and the fullness of my God. It is not about building one single
church but rather about building the body of faith. Build the body of faith in
spiritual strength, in relational power and in unwavering love. Mankind
separates the faith into denominations but Christ wants us together as a united
body building each other up in love and compassion. Paul preached this, prayed
for this and lived this. I admire that drive and focus and wish to emulate it
in my own life.
God
can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or
request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by
working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
Glory
to God in the church! Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus! Glory down all the
generations! Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes! Eph 3:20-21 Msg
