PERFECTION
Posted on: 05-12-2019
Holy Bible explains clearly to us again and again that we need to have the “Mind of Christ”. Why do we require mind of Christ in this world? Why it is so mandatory? That is why Apostle Paul in his letter to Church of Corinthians emphasized that a person in body of Christ need to have mind of Christ. Remember Apostle Paul has already written in his letter to church of Ephesians especially chapter 6 that “Mind is the battle field of spiritual warfare”. Our spiritual warfare is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the powers, against the worldly forces of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
To understand this battle field we need to understand our creation which is in our image and our likeness with an authority to rule over whole earth. Man is created by Elohim Adonai Yeshua the Messiah in outer shell known as Flesh, which has soul, or the conscious followed by the spirit.
The battle field is in the center place “Soul or the Conscience” to bring into the captivity of SIN. This battle field can be won by allowing Holy Spirit to work freely with our spirit in our being. It involves submission of free will to the Lord Yeshua the Messiah. It is easier said than done, requires spiritual discipline which comes by regularly allowing Holy Spirit to work freely in our life, regular submission of self at the feet of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Regular Meditation Living word of God which is inspired by the Holy Spirit written by 40 different authors, is a two-edged sword which pierces our soul and spirits, joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. It purifies us to become holy and acquire the mind of Christ as written in 1 Corinthians 2:16.
Focus and meditate on our calling in the body of Christ every one cannot be hand, similarly every one cannot be leg, or any other part, all have been assigned different assigned in the body of Christ. Therefore leaving the basic teaching of the Messiah, let us move on toward maturity—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of trust in God, of teaching about immersions, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. Now this we will do, if God permits. For it is impossible for those who once were enlightened—having tasted of the heavenly gift and become partakers of the Ruach ha-Kodesh (Hebrews 6:1-4). Our goal is to become Perfect in the body of Christ as to finish the race leaving aside every entanglement running the race with endurance to claim the crown of eternal life with our Messiah, our Lord, saviour, redeemer, the first and the last who will provide citizenship of Heaven.
Remember: “But thanks be to God, who in Messiah always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us reveals everywhere the aroma of the knowledge of Himself. For we are the aroma of Messiah to God, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing— to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. Who is competent for these things? For we are not like many, peddling the word of God. Rather, in Messiah we speak in the sight of God with sincerity, as persons sent from God. (2 Corinthians 2:14-17)”
Yeshua the messiah is coming!
