For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. I Corinthians 3:9
For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. I Corinthians 3:9
One after another the foremost of the builders fell by the hand of the enemy. Stephen was stoned; James was slain by the sword; Paul was beheaded; Peter was crucified; John was exiled. Yet the church grew. New workers took the place of those who fell, and stone after stone was added to the building. Thus, slowly ascended the temple of the church of God.
This is the true work of the servants of God, US! Because of tradition and false doctrine, we have been made to believe that the work is up to leadership or the pastor or to the Billy Graham's of the world, but the truth of the matter is we are God's fellow workers, we are the builders of the spiritual temple with those stones that we gather on the Way!
The blueprint of God's church has not changed over the centuries, but the teaching has, and the zeal and passion of Christ has waned for eons and the worker's love has grown cold. As the body of Christ, we must arm up and find our first love again and be filled with Holy Spirit power for persecution is coming and the powers of darkness are being loosed upon the earth!
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author (originator) and the finisher (perfecter) of our faith. Hebrews 12:1,2
