It's ALL about Jesus

Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly —mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings? What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.
For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.

Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”; and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future —all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God. (1 Corinthians 3) =)

Dear InterVarsity, it's all about Jesus and His Kingdom (He has His own perfect culture which we all need to surrender to). Let's fix our eyes on Him, stay in His Word and follow Him wherever He goes :-) And we are one in Christ so let's be one. God bless! :)

InterVarsity, we really need to pray for Staff. Whether or not you get what I'm saying (it will make more sense later) just pray. This message came up thrice today in different ways: Ezekiel 13: 10-16. I exposed some of the devil's strongholds that are blinding them and are leading to various forms of oppression (in the "Let My people Go"post) and God being a God of Love and Justice and The Perfect Father, He will do whatever it takes to to set them straight (refer to the verses at the beginning of the the 'False Teachers' section of that post). This is spiritual warfare which a lot of you don't understand coz of your background or this touchy context but I'll explain further in upcoming posts (please be patient! I really want you to understand but yeah, you'll have to wait for it! Don't fight me right now coz you really don't know what you're doing or what I'm doing so wait and I'll let you know. Good things come to those who wait :) So yeah, just pray, if you don't know how to pray about this stuff then you can just pray the Lord's prayer (Matthew 6: 9-13). For those who know how to pray with their spirit (praying in tongues) please do, it's much needed during this time of intense warfare coz the devil likes to attack the mind (1 Corinthians 14:14-15). We all need to pray in The Holy Spirit (Romans 8:26, Ephesians 6:18) coz when there is ignorance hence uncertainty the devil likes to bring in confusion to keep us from praying or so that we can pray ineffective prayers- prayers for our will done (what we think is right) instead of God's perfect will (James 4:3, Romans 12:1-2). So yeah if you are confused, worship before you pray (that will fix your eyes on Jesus and not on the devil's distractions) and also do listening prayer. Ttyl! Peace! ♥ :)

"Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. (Jude 1: 24-25) =)
