1 Cor 14:23/26 Therefore if the whole church comes to-gether in one place … How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.
We recently met to review the progress of the church after the first six months, and the Lord has been encouraging us greatly. The verses above are from 1 Corinthians, where Paul writes to a group he calls the Church of God which is at Corinth. It is not addressed to elders, or pastors, or bishops, but the general gathering. His expectation was that when the church gathered many would have something they had received from the Lord to share.
I would like to encourage each one of you to seek the Lord, if there is anything He would like you to share in the meeting. And be prepared, if He stirs your spirit during our gathering, to contribute by praying, reading a scripture, etc.
Paul is careful to remind the Corinthians it is for edification. It is not a time to promote our own ideas, to regale each other with trivial stories, or worse to use it to criticize or undermine. But it is an opportunity to share things that edify each other. Do come to the meetings prepared to be a fruitful part of this growing body.
Later in the same chapter, Paul is very bold, when he says, 1 Cor 14:31 “For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.” (KJV) Can you be one of the all?
