FAÇA E ACONTEÇA
"Quem sabe faz a hora, não espera acontecer?"
...não é de nossa autoria mas,
hoje, eu quero fazer uma, copiando um pouco aquela:
"Quem sabe faz a
comunhão, não espera acontecer". Repita isso três vezes para sí mesmo.
Irmãos,
nós fazemos a comunhão acontecer!Nós
fazemos a comunhão acontecer quando...
Veja: na
Igreja de Jesus são muitos os membros e eles são diferentes!
Uma
olhadinha à sua volta e você vai constatar: alguns membros do Corpo de Cristo
são altos, outros são baixos, uns são gordinhos, outros são magros, uns são
calvos, outros de cabelo... de cabelo ruivo e de cabelo grisalho... as pessoas
são diferentes!
Porém,
apesar das diferenças nos traços, no temperamento, nos dons, precisamos ser
atraídos uns para os outros.
Já ouviu
falar das "pedras que rolam"? São redondas e do tamanho de nozes, com
formato diferentes! E colocadas no chão, distantes um metro das outras, elas
rolam para um centro comum e não param de rolar, até que todas estejam
juntinhas... Se uma das pedras for colocada separada das outras, logo ela volta
para junto das suas companheiras.
O segredo
disso não é muito difícil de ser descoberto: Tais pedras são compostas de ferro
magnético, e se atraem mutuamente pela força misteriosa do magnetismo.
Assim
somos nós no Corpo de Cristo: cada um tem um formato diferente do outro, mas
não deveríamos conseguir ficar distantes uns dos outros. Devíamos, isto sim,
ser atraídos mutuamente pelo magnetismo do amor de Deus derramado pelo Espírito
Santo em nosso coração!
Nós
fazemos a comunhão acontecer quando...
Entendemos
que a base da comunhão é a FÉ
"Assim,
também, todos nós, judeus e não-judeus, escravos e livres, fomos batizados pelo
mesmo Espírito para formarmos um só corpo. E a todos nós foi dado de beber do
mesmo Espírito".
Fomos
inseridos no Corpo de Cristo, simbolizado pelo batismo - e para que assim
fosse, exercitamos a fé e por meio dela abraçamos a Jesus.
No Corpo
de Cristo, todos temos esta peculiaridade: a fé em Jesus. Devemos perseverar
nessa fé - porque ela é a base da comunhão. Agora, nós também fazemos a
comunhão acontecer quando...
Aceitamos
a diversidade de DONS E MINISTÉRIOS no Corpo
"O corpo não é feito de um só membro, mas de muitos.... Se o pé
disser: "Porque não sou mão, não pertenço ao corpo", nem por isso
deixa de fazer parte do corpo....E se o ouvido disser: "Porque não sou
olho, não pertenço ao corpo", nem por isso deixa de fazer parte do
corpo....Se todo o corpo fosse olho, onde estaria a audição? Se todo o corpo
fosse ouvido, onde estaria o olfato?... De fato, Deus dispôs cada um dos
membros no corpo, segundo a sua vontade....Se todos fossem um só membro, onde
estaria o corpo?....Assim, há muitos membros, mas um só corpo".
Para
igreja ser o que ela é e alcançar o mundo todo ela precisa ser bem viva, bem
dinâmica!
"Assim, na igreja, Deus estabeleceu primeiramente apóstolos; em segundo lugar, profetas; em terceiro lugar, mestres; depois os que realizam milagres, os que tem dons de curar, os que tem dom de prestar ajuda, os que tem dons de administração e os que falam diversas línguas....São todos apóstolos? São todos profetas? São todos mestres?...Tem todos dons de curar? Falam todos em línguas? Todos interpretam?" Você pode até não gostar de todos os ministérios (serviços) da igreja, mas você precisa admitir que todos os membros têm uma função e importância dentro do plano maior de Deus em salvar o mundo.
Nós fazemos a comunhão acontecer quando...
Entendemos
que não existe membros DESONRADOS na família de Deus. "Ao
contrario, os membros do corpo que parecem mais fracos são indispensáveis,... e
os membros que pensamos serem menos honrosos, tratamos com especial honra. E os
membros que em nós são indecorosos são tratados com decoro especial".
Sl. 16: 3 - Os santos são ilustres,
notáveis diante de Deus.
Isso
deveria nos levar a repensar nossos conceitos de "irmão mais fraco" -
porque, embora fraco, ele não deixou de ser filho de Deus e se é filho de Deus,
então é um príncipe e é nosso irmão!
Nós
fazemos a comunhão acontecer quando...
Temos
CUIDADO com a vida do nosso irmão.
"...a
fim de que não haja divisão do corpo, mas, sim, que todos os membros tenham
igual cuidado uns pelos outros....Quando um membro sofre, todos os outros
sofrem com ele; quando um membro é honrado, todos os outros se alegram com
ele".
A Igreja
é lugar de encorajamento, seja você um encorajador do seu irmão.
A palavra
encorajadora tem um poder que você nem imagina, o rendimento de pessoas
encorajadas, motivadas é impressionante! Então, seja um encorajador de irmãos!
Muita
gente precisa de... de dinheiro, e fato, eu também. Hehehe! Mas muita gente
está precisando mais que dinheiro: está precisando de um olhar, de um ombro, de
um abraço, de uma conversa, de uma simples atenção.
CONCLUSÃO:
Irmãos,
nós faremos a comunhão acontecer quando...
Entendermos
que a igreja é formada por pessoas diferentes;
Entendermos que a base da comunhão é a fé;
Aceitarmos a diversidade de dons e ministérios no corpo;
Entendermos que não existe membros desonrados na família de Deus
Entendermos que a base da comunhão é a fé;
Aceitarmos a diversidade de dons e ministérios no corpo;
Entendermos que não existe membros desonrados na família de Deus
Termos
cuidado com a vida dos irmãos. Se cada membro do Corpo de Cristo tomar estas
iniciativas pessoais em sua vida, nós alcançaremos a comunhão em nossa igreja!
Quero
terminar declarando isto:
"Os crentes, para que se unam, é preciso que se
amem; para que se amem, é preciso que se conheçam; para que se conheçam, é
preciso que vão ao encontro um do outro".

Version English:
AND DO HAPPEN
"Maybe it's time, do not expect to happen?" ... Is not of our own but today I want to make one by copying a short one:
"Who knows communion does not expect to happen." Repeat this three times to himself. Brothers, we do communion happen! We do communion happen when ...
See: Church of Jesus are many members and they are different!
A quick look around and you will see: some members of the Body of Christ are tall, some are short, some are fat, some are thin, some are bald, some hair ... red hair and gray hair ... people are different!
However, despite the differences in traits, in temperament, in the gifts we need to be attracted to each other.
Ever heard of "rolling stones"? They are round and the size of walnuts, with different format! And placed on the ground, one meter distant from the other, they roll to a common center and do not stop rolling until all are close to each other ... If a stone is placed separately from the other, so she returns with her companions.
The secret of it is not very difficult to be discovered: These stones are composed of magnetic iron, and are mutually attracted by the mysterious force of magnetism.
So are we in the Body of Christ: each has a different format than the other, but we should not be able to stay away from each other. We should rather be mutually attracted by the magnetism of God's love poured out by the Holy Spirit in our hearts!
We happen when the communion.
We believe that communion is the basis of FAITH
"So, too, all of us, Jews and Gentiles, slave and free, were baptized by the Spirit to form one body. And we were all given to drink of one Spirit."
We entered into the Body of Christ, symbolized by baptism - and that it did, and exercise faith through her embrace Jesus.
In the Body of Christ, we all have this peculiarity: faith in Jesus. We must persevere in this faith - because it is the basis of communion. Now, we also do fellowship happens when ...
We accept the diversity of gifts and ministries in the Body
"The body is made of one member but of many .... If the foot shall say," Because I am not the hand, does not belong to the body, "it is nevertheless to be part of the body .... And if the ear should say, "Because I am not the eye, does not belong to the body," it is nevertheless to be part of the body .... If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole body were hearing, where would smell? ... In fact, God has set each member of the body, according to his will .... If they were all one member, where were the body? .... So many members, but a one body. "
For the church to be what it is and reach the whole world it needs to be very alive and dynamic!
"So in the church, God set first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then those who perform miracles, those who have gifts of healing, those who give the gift of help, those who have gifts of administration and those who speak different languages .... Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? ... Has all the gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? all interpret? "
You may not like all ministries (services) of the church, but you must admit that all members have a role and importance within the larger plan of God to save the world.
We do communion happen when ...
We understand that there are members dishonored the family of God. "Instead, members of the body that seem weaker are indispensable, and the members ... that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And we have members who are indecent are treated with special dignity."
"Maybe it's time, do not expect to happen?" ... Is not of our own but today I want to make one by copying a short one:

Sl. 16: 3 - The saints are distinguished, remarkable to God.
This should lead us to rethink our concepts of "weaker brother" - because, although weak, he ceased to be the son of God and is God's son, a prince and then it is our brother!
We do communion happen when ...
We CARE with the life of our brother.
"... So that there is no division of the body, but rather that all members have equal concern for each other .... When one member suffers, all the others suffer with him, when one member is honored, all others rejoice with it. "
The Church is a place of encouragement, whether you are an encourager of his brother.
The encouraging word has a power that you can not imagine the income of people encouraged, motivated is awesome! So be an encourager of brothers!
Many people need ... money, and actually, me too. Hehehe! But many people are needing more than money, is in need of a look, a shoulder, a hug, a chat, a simple attention.
CONCLUSION:
Brothers, we do communion happen when ...
Understand that the church is made up of different people; Understand that the basis of fellowship is faith; Accept the diversity of gifts and ministries in the body; Members understand that there is dishonored the family of God
Be careful with the lives of the brothers. If each member of the Body of Christ to take these initiatives into your personal life, we reach the communion in our church!
Let me end by stating that:
"Christians, to unite, it must be love, for they are in love, it is necessary to know, to know that, you need to meet each other."
This should lead us to rethink our concepts of "weaker brother" - because, although weak, he ceased to be the son of God and is God's son, a prince and then it is our brother!
