For those of you who dont known it already, the Church that Jesus Christ is building is not an ornate building that houses preaching and a song service, but rather the Body of Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ! The Church is not being built with natural materials but with the lives of people.
One of the absolutely breathtaking revelations about the Church was revealed to the Apostle Paul and conveyed in his writings to the church at Ephesus when he wrote: For we are his masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared long ago to be our way of life. (Eph. 2:10 ISV)
What a powerful picture of the Church of Jesus Christ His Masterpiece! The reference to a masterpiece lends to the idea that thee are several other pieces and among them all this particular one stands head and shoulders above the rest! This is so true when it comes to the Church that Jesus Christ is building; when you place it alongside everything else that God has created, the Church is by far His Masterpiece!

The Church of Jesus Christ is a governing Church with a governing people. In this apostolic model you will be equipped to deal with principalities and powers that have filled the minds of people with reprobate world views.
Jonas Clark, Spirit of Life Ministries
Elder Scantlebury has written a very clear, easy-to-read book that exposes the counterfeit, and reveals the true Church of Jesus Christ. Some of it feels like swallowing a bitter pill. Some of it feels like a refreshing drink of pure water. All of it, I believe has the stomp of the Spirit of Christ.
