“Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?”
1 Corinthians 6:3-5 KJV
Paul’s revelation is, “For surely you know that we will one day judge angels, let alone these everyday matters. Don’t you realize that you are bringing your issues before civil judges appointed by people who have no standing within the Church? What a shame that there is not one within the Church who has the spirit of wisdom who could arbitrate these disputes and reconcile the offended parties!” Paul disciplines the Church, which is the Body of Christ! Church is translated from Greek “Ekklesia” which means a “governing body”, that is meant to promote the welfare of a city. This means that the Church has wisdom and leadership to govern and bring blessing to a city. The Church is to govern and judge the angelic realm. Our position in Christ is higher than the angels - they are servants, we are sons - and sons rule over servants. The Church is supremely higher than the world system and must have believers who discern, sift, weigh and judge everyday matters within the Church. Let’s cooperate in the Body of Christ to fulfil God’s plan of doing things the superior way, because of our identity in Christ, rather than depending on the world system. We are a supernatural people. Amen!
