1 Corinthians 12:21 (WNT) “It is also impossible for the eye to say to the hand, “I do not need you;” or again for the head to say to the feet, “I do not need you.”
Some Christians not discerning the body of Christ, think that only the gifts such as pastors, evangelist, prophets etc. are the important ones in the body. It is important for you to value
yourself as a member the body of Christ. Not only are you important, you are a necessary part of the body of Christ. The whole body cannot function without you. You have a unique role
to play in the body. Many Christians have made themselves ‘pew warmers’, depriving the rest of the body of their unique grace in building up the body. This is so unfortunate. For the gifts, you are first a member of the body of Christ. Do not lord your calling/ office over the other members. You need them as much as they need you.
Confession
I am not just a member of the body of Christ I am a necessary member. I matter in the body of Christ. I matter in my local assembly therefore I contribute to the success of the entire body
of Christ. Hallelujah
