Discerning The Body Of Christ – Apostle Joshua Selman
No believer (no matter how well intentioned) can grow accurately, if they are isolated from other dimensions, within the body of Christ.
Points to Note For The Body of Christ:
1. Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly. (John 10:10)
_
2. The reality of The Believer’s victorious life is activated through knowledge. (John 17:3, Ephesians 4:18)
In essence, our new life in Christ is knowledge dependent.
_
3. Knowledge or revelation in God’s Kingdom is dimensional, which means it comes in parts. (1 Corinthians 13:9, Isaiah 28:10, John 16:12)
Every dimension is determined by our individual calling and responsibilities as Believers.
_
4. No single individual is given the whole counsel of God. (Romans 12:3-8, Luke 22:19-20)
There are diversities in the body of Christ. No single person embodies the entirety of God’s counsel.
_
5. There are consequences for ignoring the whole counsel of God. (1 Corinthians 11:27-30)
The repercussions of neglecting the various dimensions of God that He has deposited in the Body of Christ have contributed to some of the limitations Believers have encountered in various spheres of life.
God equips Believers with the necessary knowledge and skills for their calling and assignment.
_
As a result, there is a tendency to mentor people from a point of limitation, having only learnt the skill set that is specific to a calling and assignment.
_
Because they lack the requisite skill set, these mentees have deficiencies in their lives that will become apparent over time.
In this message Apostle Joshua Selman teaches on the body of Christ, the dimensions of God as distributed among the body and how believers can maximise the advantages of the church.
