WHO IS THE CHURCH?
WHO IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH?
Inasmuch we know the answer, we still need to be very detailed and accurate in answering this question.
First of all, what do we understand by the word "CHURCH?"
Some have said the church is a building where religious activities take place.
Well I do not agree with this because if we truly look at the meaning of the word church through the lenses of the revelation of Jesus Christ we would get to understand that the word church goes beyond a building
Church here according to the revelation of Jesus Christ defined to be the gathering of the "called out ones"
Called out ones is also termed to be "SAINTS"
You and I as saints make us the church.
The church also is referred to be the body of Christ.
Let me say it again...
The church is the body of Christ.
And for a body there's a HEAD.
“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”
Colossians 1:18
Now....the head of the church is Christ.
As far as I'm concerned there is nothing like the pope,pastors,Apostles,Reverends,Evangelists as the head of the church.
Jesus is the head, we are his body.The building is not the church,.the building is just a symbol pointing to a reality.
You might want to as that if the building is not the church, then why do we go to the building for meetings?
Now please note that buildings here is not limited to the just a "church setting"
It can be extended to a house, hall, hotel school and the likes.
Because the word "gathering" is involved, we must obviously gather one place to fellowship.
In his words he said where two or three are gathered he is right there in our midst not building.
Now...talking about fellowship/worship, we also need to understand that we are not going to the building to seek God's presence.
We are not going there to also enter into his presence.
So what do you do when we come into a building where Believers are gathered?
WE COME THERE TO PRACTICE AND DISPENSE GOD'S PRESENCE IN US IN HARMONY (ONE ACCORD)
As his words
If we begin to have this mindset as Believers,We need to put a stop on it and change our mindset because we are the church.
