NOT CALLED TO A DENOMINATION

(a poem from the Lord to His church through Karen
- 24th December 1998)

I called you into My Son - CHRISTian
But you rather be in a denomination
I called you to be the church
But you would rather call yourself
Anglican Brethren, Charismatic, Methodist or Presbyterian
But I didn't call you to a denomination.

I called you to obey My Word
But you would rather follow man's tradition
I called you to abide in Me
But you prefer to remain a denomination
But where in My Word is such a word
For I didn't call you to a denomination.

I called you to be My Body
But you have divided IT with your denomination.
I called you to be a saint
But you rather practice schism
And have caused division in My Body
When I didn't call you to a denomination.

I called you to be led by My Spirit
But you'd rather be led by a denomination
I gave you 9 gifts of the Spirit
And there is also 9 fruit of the Spirit
But you have made 9 denominations or more
When I didn't call you to a denomination.

I called you to the ministry of reconciliation
But you divide yourselves with denominations
I called you to be My son
But you rather remain a Baptist,
A Brethren  or a 7 Adventist
When I didn't call you to a denomination.

Can My church stand if she is divided?
Can My church prevail against the gates of hell?
My promises are to the church
And not to a denomination
Now stop being a denomination
Because I didn't call you to a denomination.



     1 Cor 12:12,13, 25
          For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 
          For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; 
          and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
          That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

     Col 2:8 
          Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, 
          and not after Christ.

     John 17:21-23
          That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may 
          believe that thou hast sent me. 
          And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, 
          that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, 
          as thou hast loved me.
