You Are The Church – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional February 9th

(You Are Christ’s Legal Representative)

TO THE BIBLE: EPHESIANS 1:22-23 KJV
“And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.”

LET’S TALK
Our opening verse shows that Jesus cannot operate without His church- you and I, isn’t that amazing? The Church is the completeness or full expression of Christ.

In other words, if you desire to know about Christ, receive His blessings, or make contact with Him, the Church is the answer.

Now, who constitutes the Church? Christians all over the world are the body of Christ.

Someone might ask, “Pastor Chris, what if I’m the only Christian in that location?” Then you’re the Church—the body of Christ—in that place.

As the body of Christ operating in your world, you’re His fullness. The fullness of His love, grace, glory, and power is in you.

This understanding eradicates weaknesses and limitations. Paul declares, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13).

Notice He didn’t say “we can” but “I can,” because Paul comprehended that he was the body of Christ. This has to be your consciousness.

If it’s just two of you in a house, school, community, or even an office, both of you are the body of Christ there. If you’re a thousand, all of you are the body of Christ.

But if you’re the only one, anywhere you are, when you operate outside the assembly, outside the Church, you’re the body of Christ there.

You’re His full legal representative and representation. That means you’re authorised by Him, and you’re His image or expression. Hallelujah!

Hebrews 10:25 TLB; Luke 4:16

Speak:
I’m the body of Christ, His full legal representative and representation of Him anywhere I am. And I declare that in the Church, there’s unity, stability, and growth, as we attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
