The Church of God

According to the scripture in the book of Ephesians 1:22-23; Christ is the head and the fullness of Christ is the body; which is the Church.

In this the Church should be heaven's outlet, the channel of release for heaven's power, the medium of accomplishment of God's purpose. It was recorded in the book of Acts how the early Church demonstrated the power of God. How they were able to turn their world upside down for the kingdom of God in their time as long as they remained under the leading of the Holy Spirit from the day of Pentecost. They were able to say Silver, or Gold I have none, but in the name of Jesus rise up and walk.

Let us ask ourselves, it is so in our own time presently? Of course not, in this our time we have seen how the body is moving in the opposite direction from the Head. We have seen this abnormality in our own time. How far the Church the body has moved away from the Head. We have seen the impact on the Church how this has opened the door for the enemy, the wicked one to rule over the Church, we have seen how the Church of God has become powerless because she has left her rightful position. This has caused her to change her focus and she remains vulnerable to the ridicules at the hand of the enemy of God. However, in all this a question arose in my heart as I pondered on the current state of the Church of God and the question is:

Is there HOPE for the Church of God?

Hope is simply waiting expectantly and eagerly for the day God will perfectly fulfil every promise and do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Hence, we would say Hope is a deep-seated confidence in God that anchors our soul, even in rough seas.

In all the rough seas that the Church of God have been passing though in our time, do we often wonder or asks ourselves if there is Hope for the Church of God?

This year 2017, the Lord gave us His word in (2 Cor 3:17)/ (Isaiah 60:20) and (Zech 4:6), which clearly answered this question that there is Hope for the Church of God. He also promised to give us Hope out of valley of trouble in the book of (Hosea 2:15).

If the Church is going to experience revival:

• The Church need to return to God’s word that changes and build us up (2 King 22:8; Ps 119:130).
• The Church needs to return to their first Love according to the book of (Rev 2:4).
• First Love: Jesus is the FIRST LOVE, for He is the one that first love us according to the book of 1 John 4:19/Romans 5:8.
• The Church of God needs to return to his Love not to forget the great commission Luke 24:46-49 as to redirects our Focus.
• The Lord God has promised us to give us Hope and Liberty of restoration to our original position under the headship of Christ Jesus. Let us now pray amen.
