KEEP PLAYING YOUR ROLE IN BUILDING OTHERS UP

1Corinthians 14:26 (TPT), Ephesians 4:16b
Beloved friends, what does all this imply? When you conduct your meetings, you should always let everything be done to build up the church family. Whether you share a song of praise, a teaching, a divine revelation, or a tongue and interpretation, let each one contribute what strengthens others. …And every member has been given divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all

The growth and perfection of the Body of Christ take place as every single part/member of the Body of Christ grows up in Christ and effectively plays its part in blessing and building the Body of Christ, (Eph.4:16). There is something God has chosen and equipped you to do to bless and build the lives of others up. Are you faithfully doing it? Or are you still hiding that talent or ability God has given you?

When you’re preparing for church service every weekend, your mind should not only be on what you are going to get or gain in the service, but also on what you are going to contribute to be a blessing and encouragement to others. Think and pray about this. Ask God to prepare you and use you to bless and strengthen someone in one way or the other. Romans 14:19 (GNB) says, “So then, we must always aim at those things that bring peace and that help strengthen one another.” Love edifies (1 Cor. 8:1b). Decide on who you will express love to.  

Look for an opportunity where you can serve and join others to be a blessing. “Discover creative ways to encourage others and to motivate them toward acts of compassion, doing beautiful works as expressions of love,” (Heb.10:24, TPT). A songwriter said, “It is His will that every need be supplied. You are important to me, I need you to survive”.

Prayer:
Father, I thank you for making me an important part of the Body of Christ. Please use me to touch and bless the lives of others.
