Every servant of God serves Christ as his Master whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas (Peter). God’s people must not regard them as the Master. God’s servants carry out their Master’s will. With the correct understanding, division and strife will cease in the church, arising from factions…
As such, all division must cease, rather enjoy what God has put in place to further the faith and interest of His people. May God’s people give honour and glory to Him as they enjoy all His benefits. Amen.

By five thoughts of self-exaltation, Lucifer was cast out from heaven – Isaiah 14:12-15 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Sin did not begin on earth with the fall of Adam and Eve but with the fall of Lucifer who later came as the serpent to tempt Adam and Eve (Genesis 3).

The Apostle Paul speaks of the body of Christ, the household of God, the saints as the temple of God in Ephesians 2:19-22 too. Each person individually as together as a building wherein God dwells, built upon Jesus Christ as the foundation.

Ephesians 2:19-22 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

He enlightens us in 2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. He especially charges those in the ministry – pastors, preachers, missionaries to be watchful how they will serve. Unless Jesus Christ is assimilated in their lives and in their teachings the name of Christ is exalted, their ministry will surely suffer loss.
