Ephesians‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

When our body works together and every organ functions well, then we will have a healthy working body.

But when one part of our body starts to fail, it affects the whole body.

Some parts of the body may not be visible to the eyes or may not be the biggest part of the body yet each is equally an important component to making the body function well.

It is the same as the body of Christ and the church of Jesus Christ. Every one of us is an important and equally crucial part to help the church to function well.

This is where we acknowledge each other’s gifts to the body and work together so that the body can function as it should be.

Unity in the body comes when each one knows their gifts and their place in the body of Christ.

It is great that we jump in to help whenever there is a need but when the gift comes in a person to help the body, we welcome it with joy to help us function better.

Unity becomes stronger when we acknowledge each other’s gifts and respect each one as an equally important part of the body.

We need to take care of each other as we would take care of ourselves to function better.

A leader of a body is to look at nurturing the parts of the body that need to be strengthened, healed, restored, and refreshed by the power of God.

Let us value each other in the body as we would value ourselves and acknowledge that without them, we won’t be able to do what God wants us to accomplish.

Blessings
