Thank you for your concern.
My birth day anniversary is 12th December, but there are no restrictions in case you want to send me a card.

Dear All

A Body That Is Fitly Joined Together - Food for Thought.

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 4:16

Do you understand the power of unity? There is nothing that can happen to the body of Christ when we come together and march forward as one. Together our strength will destroy the works of the enemy against us.

But the work of the Church can only be carried out when the whole Body is fitly joined together, compacted, and pressed together so that every joint will be effective.

As a Body, to be joined together means to literally lock our arms together, producing a link chain that is tight and strong. And while we are fitly joined together, we are operating in the love of God and there are no gaps for the enemy to get in. He cannot divide us nor can he stop us.

Now you may be saying, does it take all that. I mean, we are all Christians, and we all love God. Yeah okay, but if we do not operate in unity, then there are gaps and the enemy can divide us. Gaps allow the enemy to come through us, behind us, and between us. He can attack us, break us, and bring division among us even though we love God.
That's why we have to be fitly joined together. Another benefit of being compacted and pressed together is that every joint can supply and be effective in doing the work of the ministry. This is how the whole body increases, prospers, have more, and do better. This is also why we need each other.

It's so important for us to understand why we should receive the whole Body even despite our differences. We all have quirks and some idiosyncratic ways. I mean, if you look hard enough, you will find some faults in me and if I look hard enough I will find some faults in you.

However, it still does not change the fact that God designed this thing for us to walk as one Body. Besides love covers a multitude of faults, so we have to look past that person's faults and see the person.

That's why God gave us love. Love can look past all of the person's faults and still see the good in them. God is love. You see, we cannot have increase without love. So let us walk in unity with the whole body in order to receive all the fullness of God.

Rori,
It is good that you are excited with the things of the Lord. One thing I can guarantee you is everlasting joy in the things of the Lord.
Remain focused and trust the Lord for everything that you wish to have or do.
I would appreciate if you could as well update and connect me to international conferences so that I can as well be part of the international delegates - and thae spirit tells me that will come to pass one one of the fine days.
I am in need of a second hand laptop computer for my cell group presentation. Your connection will go a long way and thank you for everything and God bless you and yours.
Cheers
Steward
