ONE MAN, CHRIST




Undoubtedly you would have to agree with me that the Greatest leader who has walked on the face of the earth is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, right? 

One of His invaluable leadership qualities was His selfless Love and sacrifice even for the ones who despised him and were not worth it. Also His commitment to never leave nor forsake us even when we miss the mark, and to stand with us till we get it right and we are made Perfect and whole in Him.
Now it is written that through one man i.e Adam, came death, but through The One Man Jesus Christ came Life Eternal which far outweighed and swallowed up death.  (John 3:16, Roman's 5:14-21).

Now we need to understand that the sacrifice of The One Man Jesus Christ was not to the end that we be born again and become "children of God", rather that we be raised as sons who will enter into the fullness of His Glory and reign with Him in life having received the fullness of His Grace. (Hebrews 2:10, Romans 8:18, Romans 5:17). This ought to be our aim: to know Him,  and make Him known. (Philippians 3:10, 1Peter 2:9)

Jesus is the Head of Christ (The Annointed One), and we are His Body, even His Temple of dwelling,  purchased by His Blood that we be purified and married to Him as His Bride. (1 Cor 6:19, 7:23 Eph1:22-23, 5:22-33, Rev 21:2).
And we need to understand that there is an urgency on the body of Christ to be made whole and united. WHOLE in the sense that,  every individual needs to walk in the revelation of who Christ is and what He's done and thereby grow up into Him in all things being conformed to His image. (Romans 12:1, 1 Cor 3:18)
UNITED in the sense that every part of the body of Christ needs to be connected irrespective of our differences... just like the parts of your body as written in Eph 4:11-16 which says
11 And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
 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:
 14  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
 15  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
 16  From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

If you take a look at the image above youll see One  beam of Light, symbolic of Jesus Christ, which passes through one face of the triangle and emerges at the interface as the 7 colours of rainbow, symbolic of the body of Christ ie. the Church, which then interacts with the sides of the box, symbolic of the earth.
Beloved,  that's God's plan,  He wants us to show forth His beauty and spread forth His knowledge in all the earth as one body. 
Notice a rainbow doesn't have one singular color, rather it's a combination of the 7 spectra of Light, each operating in its own unique frequency,  not breaking rank (Joel 2:7).
That is unity,  not uniformity.

Although the Church has her different beliefs and methods of doing things,  we must make sure we get 2 things with 100% accuracy: The Gospel and the Purpose of the Church i.e Kingdom-Perfection.
We need to press toward the mark as One Man, finding our identity and thereby maturing in Him.
We need to go through God's process to become sons who will Lead and take dominion in every sphere there is on the earth.
And Lastly, we need to mature in Love, for Love is the More Excellent way to exercise  Leadership and dominion and it's the Ultimate pathway of The Spirit... For God is Love.
Let's press forward as One Man,  One body.
Grace be with you In Jesus Name,  Amen.
