Ecclesia: Finding the Voice and the Power of the VOTE in your life and in the Kingdom
Manage episode 276758537 series 1243058
The body of believers who follow the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God and our redeemer from sin by virtue of His crucifixion and resurrection are often call ‘the Universal Church’. Jesus defines His body of believing saints as both a Family and as an Ecclesia. These two limbs of the body of believers, just like our arms and the legs, both belong to the body, but have two different functions which contribute to the whole body’s productive behavior. The church has been diligently applying themselves to the structure of the Family in recent history and trying to perfect family dynamics while losing completely the power of the Ecclesia to govern the earthly creation, an assignment which God mandated to man in Genesis 1:26-28.
We need to understand the power and the function of the Ecclesia and then apply our mouth to it so we can vote. If we ignore and prevaricate about our responsibility to be authentic citizens of God’s Kingdom and govern His creation we will have to live under the laws, mores and cultural dominance of a foreign government.
The Family of God is an environment which shepherds family relationships, healing, education, counsel and leadership so that believers can function with maximum effectiveness in the Ecclesia, serve the Kingdom of God and fulfill your unique assignment.
