Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

As it is written, the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit; yet we endeavor to fully grasp the love of Christ because comprehension precedes application. As branches in the Vine Who is Jesus, the fruit thereof includes love yet divine love speaks to the essence of the Sovereign LORD. In other words, God displays the fruit of righteousness (i.e., patience, faithfulness) towards us yet the God kind of love moves beyond feeling to persona or character – God is Love. “Full measure” is the growth move of the Body of Christ toward the unity of which Apostle Paul speaks in Ephesians 4:13 (NIV; NLT) as well as the Spirit led prayer through Paul in Ephesians 3:16-19 and Philippians 1:9-11. The love of Jesus is the love of Abba Father; and to be filled to the full measure of God requires an understanding of the depth, height, width, and length of Jesus’ love (Eph 3:18-19). To comprehend the love of God and the love of the Son of God is to understand that which the Body of Christ is attaining to achieve in maturity as will be made evident in the “unity of the Spirit”; unity because there is only one Sovereign LORD, one Spirit, one baptism, one Body (Believers), and one universal and supreme Head – Christ Jesus our Lord (Ephesians 4:3-5, 1:22; Psalm 8:6). The building up of the Body of Christ toward maturity is of God’s wisdom by the gifts of Jesus the Anointed One; Who gave some to be Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers (Ephesians 4:11) for the tangential assignment of equipping citizens of God’s Kingdom of Light for ministry, and our edification toward “unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ.” Ephesians 4:13 (NLT). Every son and daughter of God has an assignment relative to ministry/service for establishing God’s covenant in the earth as it is in Heaven; and this measuring up to full growth is by the gifts of Christ Jesus (which do not conflict with the gifts [1Co 12:8-10] of the Holy Spirit) operating in tangent toward complete or full development of the Body of Christ. Therefore, it is not the sole responsibility of a Pastor to establish God’s covenant in the earth i.e., neighborhood, city, etcetera; (providing s/he were called by God rather than called by self) s/he has a specific anointing which flows by the power of the Holy Spirit and contributes toward bricking God’s Kingdom of Light on earth. Likewise, whereas Evangelists have a special love for their assignment of which the anointing flows by the power of the Holy Spirit, every Believer is to “. . . preach the gospel to every creature” Mark 16:15. Believers are to be doers of the WORD: boldly moving forward as soldiers in the defense and confirmation of the gospel of Christ with clarity and gentleness; increasingly living each day as walking epistles of the light who is Jesus by God’s great power (see CKMusing223). Relationship with Abba Father through our Lord Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit renders one’s assignment not of toil but full of joy and of tremendous benefit to the lost; all for the honor, praise, and glory of Abba Father. “My food” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.” John 4:34 (NIV). This day, even greater works . . .(John 14:12).
