Morning with Ebenezer

THE BODY OF CHRIST

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

Matthew 16:18 NIV

The body of Christ is the church of Jesus Christ in this world. Jesus said to Peter, on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. He was not talking about a certain denomination or certain people from some parts of the world; but He was talking about the whole family of born again believers in His generation and generations to come.

He was talking about people from every nation, tribe and language who will accept Him as the Lord and Savior of their lives. He said that He would build His church through those people and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. In other words no devil will be able to control and conquer this church and each member of this church will live a victorious life until the day he dies.

He will be given strength to overcome sin, healed from every kind of sickness and diseases and receive miracles from the Lord himself throughout his life. Every member who walked faithful with the Lord in this life and continue until the end; he will see the Lord after this life. His absent from this body, will make him to be present with the Lord.

This morning, let's ask the Lord to empower each member of His church in this whole world. We need to see unity in the body of Christ; may He give His people the grace to forgive one another and be able to love one another. May He raise young men and women who will seek His face and go to the world to help other young people come out from every kind of bondage and addictions.

May He empower older women in the Church to stand in their watch of prayers; that they may be able to pray for their families and teach young women how they should behave according to the word of God. In the mean time that He may help older men to stand up and encourage young men to be better fathers and work hard that they may provide for their families and build their nations.
