Tribes - Unlocking Grace

Build with Hari Rao

Continuing in our Tribes Series, this week, Prophet Hari teaches on how to lead a life that is built on abundant grace from God. Through these teachings, our desire is not just to share information, but we want those teachings to make us a group of people whose lives testify about the truth we have. We are not part of a kingdom of words alone, we need the corresponding actions. In 1 Corinthians 12, we get one of the most powerful descriptions about the body of Christ. It says that Christ is a many membered body, and yet He is One. God arranged the members as He chose. We don’t get to choose where in the body we are located. Your location in the body of Christ is not determined by you. God has placed you in a certain location, and has divinely designed you to fit in a certain position. Christ, the eternal one, the son of God, equal to the Father and the Spirit, was born and lived a life in a physical human body named Jesus. After that body was put on the cross, and after he bore the sins of the world and was resurrected, Christ decided to corporately dwell in a body called the Church. He poured Himself out into a many membered body and yet they are one. Christ, while being seated on the right hand of God, His body is extending on the earth. It is a divine mystery. If we are one body, where are you located then? By association, are you also in heavenly places? If that’s true then can it be that we are not only earthbound? That means there are parts of us that can interact with other dimensions. Is Christ who is seated in Heaven bound by time? He is operating in timelessness, and yet another section of His body is operating in time. If you can learn to understand the mystery that you’re a part of, you’ll learn to leverage timelessness into time. What information does Christ possess that we have access to? We can walk into information by simply being located in the same body. There is a way that the body is wired, the experience of one part of the body can become the experience of the entirety of it. We are baptised into one body and into one Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the cord that goes all the way back to Creation. The same Spirit has operated in every member of the body. What then do you have access to by being baptised in the same Spirit? Hebrews 12:22-23 clearly outlines our current location in Christ to us, “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect.” Are you living life from your location in Christ? Are you experiencing that location? Is your life a reflection of that location? What conversations can you hear from this location? The foundation has been laid through this teaching, because you can’t unlock a grace that you don’t know. You can’t receive what you don’t perceive. May you rise in your generation! We rise in this Kingdom on the strength of our understanding. Understanding is power in the realms of the Spirit. The entrance of God’s Word brings light. This arrangement is an arrangement of grace. Christ is a many membered body. Everyone is valued. The members are not perfect, they’re flawed but washed by His blood. God has put treasures in earthen vessels. Everybody can discern the perfect Christ, but the intelligent can discern Christ in an earthen vessel. What grace has God deposited in the people around you? Have you learnt to unlock it? We have to learn to unlock grace around us, in the body of Christ. Our location is powerful!
