Topic: Work Worthy Of The Lord 12
Text: Ephesians 4:13-14  
"Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"

Reflection: 
Utility 
· “Usefulness”
· Paul shifts from unity of true believers to uniqueness of believers
· Gifts: special abilities God gives us to use for his service
· Each Christian has at least one gift
· No one has all the gifts
· Not all have the same gifts

· Equipping gifts:
Apostle: chosen by Christ, 3 responsibilities:
1. lay foundation of church
2. receive, declare, and write God’s Word
3. confirm Word through signs, wonders, and miracles
o None today; Ephesus commended in Revelation 2 for trying false apostles
o Prophet: spoke direct revelation from God in absence of written Word
o None today: done away with when Word was written down (1 Cor. 13)
o Evangelists: traveling proclaimers of Gospel to unbelievers
o Pastors/Teachers: given to local congregation to shepherd flock by teaching, by example, by service
o Help individuals to grow, to be able to serve God in their ministries, build up and encourage

D. Maturity
· Knowing Christ in a personal, meaningful way results from humility, unity, utility
· Not growing?
o Wrong attitude about self and others
o Not unified with rest of body
o Refusing to work in God’s kingdom
· Maturity means different things at different levels
· Our goal is to be like Christ

Prayer: 
Father, help me to be like You Jesus 🙇🏽‍♂️

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Friday 21st February 2025  Topic: Love, Acceptance And Forgiveness 21 - Are You Accepted 2 Text: Ephesians 4:29-30   "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." Reflection:  Continuation From Yesterday's Devotional. If we could truly get hold of, really understand, that we are accepted, adopted, blameless, chosen, forgiven, predestined, and sealed by God’s Holy Spirit on the basis of Christ’s atoning work, we would be so busy praising God all the day long that we would find no opportunity for petty differences. God was satisfied by Christ for sin, Jesus died because I deserved to die. Jesus took my place and died for me. Scripture says that He actually became us: "He who knew no sin, was made sin for us," (2 Corinthians 5:2...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Wednesday 15th January 2025  Topic: From Darkness To Light 15 - Repentance And Faith  Text: Acts 26:18  "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me." Reflection:  Repentance and faith are fundamental to salvation, over and over in the scripture we read the word "repent" because "the kingdom of heaven is at hand", the scripture teaches that "God commandeth all men everywhere to repent" and Jesus warned us that "except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish" sin is as natural to the posterity of Adam as wallowing in the mud is natural to swine, so the word repentance is not a beloved thought for those who have beloved sins, but "without holiness no man shall see the lord." What is true repentance? In true repentanc...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Tuesday 24th September 2024  Topic: Work Worthy Of The Lord 24 - A Winsome Walk 3 Text: 1 Corinthians 10:23-24   "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth." Reflection:  Trust Him only. Flee idolatry always. Reasons to limit personal freedom 10:23-11:1 1.Seek to pursue the best over the good. All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. Out of all the things that could not be labeled wrong, not all things are useful. Not all things will bring me or others of God benefit. Not all things are appropriate. Many of the things we do or choose to give our time to have not evil connections in themselves but to delegate most of our time to such things in light of the soon coming of Christ brings no eternal benefit. Paul urges us to consider the eternal benefit in the things we ...
