RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY THURSDAY 6TH MARCH 2025.
The verse above reveals God’s purpose to bring us—the Church—to a state of maturity where we’re no longer children, tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine but established in the faith. This is His ultimate plan—to bring us into the fullness of Christ. That’s why Ephesians 4:11-14 says:“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.”
Observe what it says in the 13th verse:“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge (Greek: epignosis) of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.”This isn’t a vague or abstract promise. It’s a definite reality that God is leading the Church into. Contrary to the belief that perfection is unattainable on earth, the Scripture clearly states otherwise.
The Word declares that we can come into perfection, not when we get to heaven, but here on earth. And God’s work in us is to this intent and purpose. The Lord is bringing the Church into that state of maturity, and then the Rapture will take place. This doesn’t mean there won’t be spiritual babies in the Church, nor does it mean that those who have just given their hearts to Christ would suddenly grow into maturity. No! The Spirit is dealing here with the nationhood of the Church—the body of Christ.
The sum total of our understanding, our walk in Christ, our consciousness, will be one of those who have come to maturity, completeness, wholeness, and perfection. This is God’s vision for the collective body of Christ, where the body of Christ as a whole reaches the:“…measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13).Hallelujah!
PRAYER/CONFESSION
I walk in the fullness of Christ, manifesting His nature. I live in the consciousness of this glorious reality, and I declare that the Church is moving collectively into the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, even as the Lord’s return is imminent. Amen.

Colossians 1:28: “Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.”
2 Corinthians 3:18: “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
Hebrews 6:1: “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God.”
Ephesians 4:12-13 AMPC: “His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church), Until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.”
