« Christ is also the head of the church, which is His body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So He is first in everything »
1I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,
2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,
3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
8 Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.”
9 (Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)
11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.
It is common knowledge that the Church is meant to be for people called out by God.
Christ is the Head of the Church because the most important part of anybody is the head.
The head is so important that when you want to take a passport photograph, all you take is a picture of your head.
The heart, kidney and liver can be transplanted, but there has never been a successful head transplant.
Is Christ your head ?
If your answer is yes, is He your vision?
The eyes are a major part of the head and we know how important vision is.
Where there’s no vision, the people perish, Proverbs 29:18.
Is Christ your hearing ?
If Christ is your hearing, then your faith will continue to grow because Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
That Word is Jesus Christ John 1:1,14.
That will lead us to the nose.
What you breathe in and out counts because according to Acts 17:28Amplified
« For in Him we live and move and exist [that is, in Him we actually have our being]….. »
You are alive as a Christian if you’re breathing in and breathing out Christ.
Who controls your brain?
What do you allow your mind to dwell on ? Proverbs 23:7Amplified says
« For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.. »
Philippians 4:8 tells us the kind of thoughts we should have: pure, lovely, virtuous, good and praise-worthy thoughts.
Who controls your mouth ?
What do you eat ?
Who do you praise – God or man ? John 4:24NKJV says
« God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” »
How do you pray ?
Who controls you in prayer ? John 14:14NKJV says
« If you ask anything in My name, I will do it »
You will be a successful Christian if Christ is your Head – the Controller.
Our prayer should thus be, “Christ, please be my head”, because if all is well with the head, you can handle whatever is before you.
If something goes wrong with the head, every other thing will go wrong.
Prayer focus – Lord, please be my head from now, in Jesus’ name.
