The Glorious Army (Photos) by Nobody: 6:52am On Aug 25, 2016
___We 've all seen movies on wars, so we can well relate to this. When soldiers get hit in battles, we see how their colleagues rally round them passionately. The colleagues of the fallen soldiers put in their best to see them put out of harm's way. A lot of soldiers get killed in the process of helping their injured colleagues. 
Wouldn't it be unusually strange and disturbing for a soldier to begin shooting at and abusing his colleague who has been hit already?

___As strange as that may seem, that, actually, is what we Christians do every time. How can the greatest Army ever known, the Army of Christ, not care for, nurture and protect her fallen and wounded ones?

___satan knows he stands no chance at all facing the Army of Christ in battle, so one of his tricks is simply: get this Army to SELF-DESTRUCT -Joel 2:1-11.
As this Army marches forth victoriously, her greatest weapon would be LOVE.

___If as a Christian you still speak against other Christians, you surely lack knowledge, and you do not understand the concept of the BODY.

___We are members of the same Body, with Christ as our Head. It is the coming together of body parts that forms the body. When you have an injury on a part of your body, you don't expose the injury to the elements, rather you cover and bind it up and then proceed with necessary treatments. Actually, covering up a wound hastens the healing process.

___Does your hand attack your leg, ear or nose when they go wrong? Only mad people do that; though not all. Fighting your body parts is the highest form of insanity.
You do not become better by putting others down, but by RAISING them. The true test of strength and greatness is in your ability to help others STAND -Galatians 6:1-2.

___When we understand the calibre of satanic forces at war against the Church and the fact that our standing isn't by our own making but His Grace alone, then we will quickly desist from assisting satan in completely destroying those who have fallen and assist in every way possible in restoring them.

___For every soul you establish in Christ, there is a great reward; and for every soul whose drowning you assisted, somehow, there's a judgement -Mark 9:41-42.
If you can't reach out to the fallen believer, then pray for them; if you can't pray, rather shut your mouth than foolishly bring a curse on yourself -I have seen this work a number of times.

___Do you realize that the blood that connects you with another Christian is much stronger than the one that connects you with your biological relations?
We must begin to place value and preference on the brethren.
Love for brethren is not a FAVOUR we show them, but a DUTY we owe and an OBLIGATION. It is not OPTIONAL; it is CONDITIONAL. It is our call -John 13:34-35.

___At the Fall of Adam, man's blood got contaminated and hence man got expelled from God's Presence. That was why the blood of animals could do so little for man in the Old Testament -Hebrews 9:12-15.
That Blood that is capable of washing away your sins and presenting you spotless before the Father, is the Real Deal. 
Jesus took those who shared the same faith with Him as His true relations; we should, too -Matthew 12:46-50; 25:31-46; Galatians 6:10.

___Why would you relish the falling of believers, even to the point of taunting them? Do you not realize that their shame and woes are yours too? Every time a believer falls, Jesus hurts so badly; and hell rejoices. 
When a body part is hurting, the pain resonates through the whole body, doesn't it?
Every time you speak against a believer, you spite and slight the Blood of the Covenant that binds you with him/her -that, really, is dangerous -1Corinthians 11:27-32.

___The Body of Christ is ailing at the moment. Do we apply salt and pepper to the open wounds? Never! We'd be compounding issues.
Before you point a finger at the other Christian that isn't doing it right, deal with yourself first. We lead by example afterall -we are called to be like Christ.
Be the great example that others would love to emulate. Cease to see the errors in believers and become a reference point of the change you wish to see in others. The beauty of little light is seen in the dark. 
You have the Light of God in you; let it shine!

___Moreso, for the body to function maximally, every body part must essentially discover its UNIQUENESS and PURPOSE. The Body of Christ is likened to a house. The believers are the building blocks. When you see a building made with stones, you'll notice that every stone in the structure is unique in shape and has a space created specifically for it to fit into. Pull a single block out of its place without filling up the gap, and the whole building becomes terribly endangered -1Peter 2:4,5; 1Corinthians 12:14-30.

___The Church will begin manifesting her full glory when her members discover their INDIVIDUAL and unique purposes and fully fill their places as well.
What will bring about the release of the glorious light of the Church in such an amazing dimension as the world has never known, is the coming together of our individual lights; but our lights won't shine until we've DISCOVERED and FILLED our individual places in Christ.
God wants to unleash His untold, unsearchable Wisdom to the amazement of the powers that be; He does that through His Church -Ephesians 3:10.

___We will continue to be jealous of, envious of, compete with and attack one another until we discover the purpose for our uniqueness and begin FULFILLING our unique purposes. You won't compete with others nor feel threatened by their achievements when you understand your MISSION and also understand the fact that your purpose only COMPLEMENTS theirs -2Peter 1:10-11.

GOD BLESS YOU RICHLY!
