Functional Illiteracy In The Body Of Christ - Stacey Lunsford

Ephesians 4:1, I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;  3Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace

This verse tells us how we are to walk worthy of our (vocation) our profession to which we have been specifically chosen for by God and I paused here....because functional illiteracy was standing out to me!  To be functional illiterate is to have some (a little education or knowledge) in your vocation but be below minimum literacy standards of that vocation and it's function and I had to ask why? 

And the answer is in Hose 4:6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children

Whether you are fully operating in your vocation or functioning at the beginning or the middle....if you apply the Word that is being released in this place....you will indeed learn, grow, laugh, cry and become all that God has called you to be...and fitly joined together in Christian love and unity, we can be the Body of Christ that we have been ordained to be before the foundations of this world.....tearing down strongholds....building up the Kingdom!  Lord let thine will be done on earth, as it is heaven,
