Jayamsih..! Welcome to today’s devotion!
Recognize the dividers
Romans 16:17
Be in Jesus Christ. Stop being in the ministry, and be in Jesus Christ, as he ministers through the body (the church). Then it is no longer I, in my freedom, in my personality, I have not ministered through my teaching about Christ. Many people call themselves independent ministries and then find themselves not equipped with the gifts for responsibility.
They are not devoted to God to receive training in the place of God’s eternal preparation. The place where the body of Christ is. People want God in Jesus Christ. With Christ as their head, they are automatically united with Christ’s body. Men can never surpass the body of Christ; Through the body of Christ they grow up in Him. If a person separates himself from the body of Christ, he has separated himself from the head, which is Christ, and this happens emotionally.
We will never associate with people who bring division. Staying together does not mean that there is verbal agreement, but one that keeps its ears open for deception. God tells us to recognize and reject those who cause division. The loudest and most persuasive cry from Satan is “Do not pursue a man.” Satan wants everyone but one person to hide under an administrative umbrella, so that person is obedient to what he preaches. We follow God by following God’s people (Ephesians 5:1, Philippians 3:17). In contrast, if we accept the accusations from the enemy, we are only following men and heeding Adam’s opinion rather than God’s voice through the Word.
