One of the greatest challenges facing the Body of Christ today is the tendency among some ministers to exalt themselves above others.

They may be gifted in one particular area and mistakenly assume that their gifting grants them authority over the entire Body of Christ. But Scripture reminds us clearly that we are many members, yet one Body (Romans 12:5; 1 Corinthians 12:12; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, Ephesians 4:11). No single individual carries the fullness of Christ’s ministry—we are each only a part of the whole Body.

Sadly, those who may not operate in certain gifts of the Holy Spirit sometimes discredit or even seek to silence those who do. This is not the way of Christ.

Church, it’s time for us to wake up!

It’s time to recognize and embrace every gift the Holy Spirit has given to the Body. We will only reach the world for Christ when we honor and work with each other, not silence one another.

You may be a gifted teacher—praise God! But acknowledge that you are not necessarily a gifted evangelist.

You may be an anointed pastor—thank God! But recognize that others may carry the prophetic mantle you do not have.

You may be a gifted prophet—glory to God! But understand that you may not carry the apostolic mission or calling.

We need each other. Let’s walk in humility and unity, honoring every gift and grace within the Body of Christ. Let’s build together, not break each other down.

As the Apostle Paul wrote, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (1 Corinthians 3:6). This is the faithful and true model of ministry we must return to—a ministry of collaboration, humility, and divine partnership. Each servant of God has a role, but it is God alone who brings the growth.

Let us honour one another’s assignments and work together in unity, knowing that no role is greater than the other, and all are essential in fulfilling Christ’s mission on earth.

You are what I am not, and I am what you are not.

This means I need you, and you need me for us to truly fulfill the work of the ministry. Only together, honoring each other’s grace and calling, can we reveal the fullness of Christ to the world.
