Behind the scenes

.
Get ready and start!!!! This happens in all media studios. There are people who are always working behind the camera to give us the content we are always watching on our tv screens. Truth be told , we hardly know the production crew, all we get to see are the presenters, actors or actresses. From time to time, I have watched content which is well done, images are great and hello!!! the sound is always on point. It’s always interesting to watch a well done movie but have you ever tried to watch a movie which had poor sound, images were not clear or let me say, trying to watch news but the content is poorly done? You hardly have time to waste and you end up switching to the next channel as fast as possible.
I believe most of us rarely have patience to watch substandard production and coming to think of it , a lot of factors have to be considered to have a great tv show,a movie or a music album .People have to work behind the scenes in order for us to be entertained or informed through the media.
On this post, I’ll be focusing on the body of Christ. Using the above illustration, I want to illustrate an important aspect ‘We are all Gifted differently but working towards a common goal’. A common goal which is, God and the advancement of His Kingdom. In John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. This scripture clearly illustrates, we are connected to Jesus who is the vine and we are the branches. Jesus is our main source,we get every gift,every knowledge,every understanding and strength from Him to work as one in Him.
Never settle for the notion ”there is nothing you can do within the body of Christ’‘. There is so much you can do, with what God has deposited within you.God loves to see Christians working together while submitting to His will. Everybody has an amazing gift, which is precious and unique You may not have all together but you have something very special within you that you can work on in advancing God’s Kingdom.
Coming to think of it, God can use any plat form to convict a non-believer, to encourage the broken hearted or  to heal the sick. Some people are Pastors,missionaries, some are street preachers, singers or  Christian bloggers  (like me ☺) , who are advancing God’s Kingdom on social media. You never know what is within you, unless you step out in faith and obey what God is instructing you to do.
God is not looking for a qualified vessel for the pulpit!!! He is looking for a vessel that is willing to be used of Him, regardless of where you are coming from, your past, your education level or let me say your social status. You don’t need a big confirmation Board written Start! All you need is to believe,obey God’s instructions  + yourself and start where you are Now.

When we embrace our uniqueness in the gifts we possess, working together towards a common goal is always easy and fulfilling at the same time. Not everyone can sing, not everyone can write and not everyone can hold a microphone to preach but we can all work together towards a common goal, which is advancing the kingdom of God. Whatever God has graced you to do, even though it’s teaching in Sunday school, do it passionately with a clear cut revelation,you are the branch Jesus is the vine.

We will never be equal in our skills but we can be equal in the efforts we put,  in whatever we agree to do, Team work always makes the dream work.Looking at the production team, there endowments are quite different but they all work towards a common goal, to bring out the best tv show, movie or music album. Don’t get intimidated by those making the shots, obey your master’s plan and trust Him with it.A mighty move of God is never birthed by much but by little. God displays His mighty power through the simple and small in the eyes of men ,

Take Note:-When we choose to stay focused in sharpening our gifts behind the scenes, God entrusts us with more

1 Corinthians 12:12-26 (MSG)

You can easily enough see how this kind of thing works by looking no further than your own body. Your body has many parts—limbs, organs, cells—but no matter how many parts you can name, you’re still one body. It’s exactly the same with Christ. By means of his one Spirit, we all said good-bye to our partial and piecemeal lives. We each used to independently call our own shots, but then we entered into a large and integrated life in which he has the final say in everything. (This is what we proclaimed in word and action when we were baptized.) Each of us is now a part of his resurrection body, refreshed and sustained at one fountain—his Spirit—where we all come to drink. The old labels we once used to identify ourselves—labels like Jew or Greek, slave or free—are no longer useful. We need something larger, more comprehensive.I want you to think about how all this makes you more significant, not less. A body isn’t just a single part blown up into something huge. It’s all the different-but-similar parts arranged and functioning together. If Foot said, “I’m not elegant like Hand, embellished with rings; I guess I don’t belong to this body,” would that make it so? If Ear said, “I’m not beautiful like Eye, limpid and expressive; I don’t deserve a place on the head,” would you want to remove it from the body? If the body was all eye, how could it hear? If all ear, how could it smell? As it is, we see that God has carefully placed each part of the body right where he wanted it.
But I also want you to think about how this keeps your significance from getting blown up into self-importance. For no matter how significant you are, it is only because of what you are a part of. An enormous eye or a gigantic hand wouldn’t be a body, but a monster. What we have is one body with many parts, each its proper size and in its proper place. No part is important on its own. Can you imagine Eye telling Hand, “Get lost; I don’t need you”? Or, Head telling Foot, “You’re fired; your job has been phased out”? As a matter of fact, in practice it works the other way—the “lower” the part, the more basic, and therefore necessary. You can live without an eye, for instance, but not without a stomach. When it’s a part of your own body you are concerned with, it makes no difference whether the part is visible or clothed, higher or lower. You give it dignity and honor just as it is, without comparisons. If anything, you have more concern for the lower parts than the higher. If you had to choose, wouldn’t you prefer good digestion to full-bodied hair?The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part, the parts we mention and the parts we don’t, the parts we see and the parts we don’t. If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance.

We need Each other in advancing God’s Kingdom.

God Desires The Best For You……………………….
