Ephesians 4:16 [AMP]
For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly , grows to full maturity, building itself up in love.
For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly , grows to full maturity, building itself up in love.
Debo was gifted with technical and media skills. Because of him, the sound system of their church auditorium was excellent. Sometimes, he would have to arrive 3 hours before service to make things work properly. And he would have to wait till after everyone leaves.
But because he was not recognized and honored like the singer who would 'work for just seven minutes on stage', he started getting offended and started to draw back in commitment. Because of this, the sound system of the auditorium progressively went bad. There were service days that Debo wouldn’t even show up, or he would come very late.
There came a time that because of bad sound, almost half of the church congregation struggled to hear what the preacher said. Even though the church kept spending so much, very little was achieved in that regard because the person gifted to help in that area was now offended. But unknown to Debo, it was the work of God that he neglected. Work for which he would be eternally rewarded.
We see from today’s Bible text that it is as everyone in the body does his part that the church grows to full maturity. No matter how unappreciated your assignment is in the body, God recognizes your labor of love, and He will reward you (see Heb 6:10).
Go into today knowing that you have an important role to play in contributing to the growth of the church. Ask the Lord to help you do this accordingly.
