CHURCH GATHERING AND WORSHIP SERVICES: THE TRUE HEARTFELT SPIRIT OF WORSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP!

Someone ask me sometimes ago if I went to Church. I pause and looked at the individual if she understood the question she was asking me. I said I don’t go to Church, because I am the Church which Christ is building. I knew her concept or intent was a building where the Churches do gather or are gathering, which could be of any architectural design.

My concern is that the building ascribed as some as Church, especially with the denominational concepts, if such place in use becomes a restaurant or play ground tomorrow, the concept of the building in use will change of what it’s considered then as Church by some, as the building concept changes or becomes a restaurant for our example and illustrations. Hence it’s very important for one to have an insight and foresight of knowing and understanding the very meaning of what Church is in context and concept; and to avoid attributing what is not in order not have one established on a wrong foundation of FAITH on the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to know truly, what the Church and Churches means in the Christian Faith in Christ Jesus, as we live in His stead.

As a result I said she should rephrase the question as – Did you attend the Sunday Churches Services or gathering today? And I said YES! I Did. For the local Churches assembly gathering of respective individual Churches, are there for a collective cause or causes; and are there to render what is/are called SERVICE/SERVICES which could be – PRAYERS, TEACHING, EVANGELISM, PREACHING, BAPTISM, GIVING, CHARITABLE CAUSES, HOSPITALITY/WELFARE, SEMINAR, FELLOWSHIP/COMMUNION and MUSIC/WORSHIP and other SCRIPTURALLY based ORDINANCES and such like the more as may be applicable . . .

In all, what is the HEARTS of a TRUE WORSHIP? It’s of the human spirit engraved by the WORD of God, called the TRUTH, when it’s being LED and GUIDED by and of the Holy Spirit of God towards the acts of WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – (John 4:22-24; 1 Corinthians 1:9). An intent should be intentional, purposeful and meaningful To WORSHIP God WORTHILY, and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY, in the FELLOWSHIP of the Brethren – the CALLED out people of God, that are ascribed as the CHURCH – the REDEEMED of God – the BODY OF CHRIST JESUS – who is our Saviour and Lord in the communion of the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 4:20-24.

(Emphasis Mine).

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers WORSHIPPED IN THIS MOUNTAIN; and ye say, that in JERUSALEM is the place where MEN OUGHT TO WORSHIP. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in THIS MOUNTAIN, nor yet at JERUSALEM, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we WORSHIP: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 BUT THE HOUR COMETH, AND NOW IS, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD): for the Father SEEKETH such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD)” John 4:19-24.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: To Be FREE From SCRIPTURAL ERRORS

By Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: To Be FREE From SCRIPTURAL ERRORS: GROW in GRACE!

There’s the NEED to GROW graciously in a DIDACTIC order of SCRIPTURAL KNOWLEDGE if you must be FREE from SCRIPTURAL ERRORS.

TWO OF MANY EXAMPLES ARE THESE:

** The caution and charge of Jesus to the Sadducees while on His earthly ministry in their Scripturally twist, errors and mistaken conclusions through ignorance, making them to NEVER experience the POWER of God. Matthew 22:29.

** And also of Apostle Peter who consciously caution and charge those followers of him in their twist, errors and mistaken intent and regards to Apostle Paul’s writings, which many have misconstrued in their UNDERSTANDING and INTERPRETATION. 2 Peter 3:14-18.

SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God . . .” Matthew 22:23-33.

“So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be DILIGENT AND MAKE EVERY EFFORT to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him]. 15 And consider the patience of our Lord [His delay in judging and avenging wrongs] as salvation [that is, allowing time for more to be saved]; just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him [by God], 16 speaking about these things as he does in all of his letters. IN WHICH THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, which the UNTAUGHT and UNSTABLE [who have fallen into error] TWIST and MISINTERPRET, JUST AS THEY DO THE REST OF THE SCRIPTURES, TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION. 17 Therefore, [let me warn you] beloved, knowing these things beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the ERROR of unprincipled men [who distort doctrine] and fall from your own steadfastness [of mind, knowledge, truth, and faith], 18 but GROW [spiritually mature] in the grace and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18 (Amplified).

“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” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore my people are GONE into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their MULTITUDE dried up with thirst . . .” Isaiah 5:13-15.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to the WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

LIFE CHOICES

LIFE CHOICES – Dealing With The TRINITY Within – I, ME, MYSELF: The Three ENEMIES That HINDERS Desired ALTITUDE!

Everyone craves for a high and higher rise in life. And higher heights are born in our ATTITUDE for such ALTITUDE we earnestly desired and yearns daily to attain.

Unfortunately for some, the enemies within them have created their stunted growth and success and excellence and such like.

The THREE ENEMIES within that needs to be brought under if one must constantly be ahead in LIFE and GODLINESS are these:

** The lust of the flesh

 ** The lust of the eyes

 ** The pride of life

These three ENEMIES comes from the trinity within us – I, ME and MYSELF otherwise the Me, Me and Me attitude.

Life is about CHOICE and CHOICES – and to being mindful and to not being mindful, of these three elements, which can make and unmake your worlds of success and fulfilment and excellence, in LIFE and GODLINESS, is worth pondering about. Hence there’s the need to diligently check and guard your being by the Holy Spirit of any of the signs and presence of these elements in the light of the WORD of God.

You are the DECIDED of your ARISING and ALTITUDE, therefore make the wise CHOICE today – to bring your body under; I mean the five SENSES trinity of I, ME, MYSELF, in subjection to the Holy Spirit guide and guard, under the authority and power of the word of God. That’s the only Kingdom cause way to have Dominion, be more than conquerors, an overcomer, be triumphant and victorious in doing life and living godly in everyway in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well that your ATTITUDE indicates your CHARACTER. Your CHARACTER indicates your PERSON. And your PERSON, which is born of your ATTITUDE does not only defines you, but it’s what will SUSTAIN you in your desired ALTITUDE when you arrived at it. Hence a no GOOD ATTITUDE means an ILLUSION to your DESIRED ALTITUDE and SUSTAINABILITY in the POSITION of ALTITUDE.

Herein are common and scriptural sayings that are worth pondering – meditating and thinking – through, in cause of doing life in time and in matters of ATTITUDE (CHARACTER and INTEGRITY):

** “People of genius are admired.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED” – Arthur Friedman

** “Be it known that the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, charisma, enterprise and such like the more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY will keep and sustain you there” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

** “And CHARACTER and INTEGRITY are made possible by the indwelling precious, gracious and graceful Holy Spirit, which is given to us in the WORD” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

** “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost” – Billy Graham

MAKE A WISE CHOICE TODAY – YOU ALTITUDE IS WITHIN YOUR REACH BY YOUR ATTITUDE

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for competent men—men who fear God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and appoint them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten” Exodus 18:21.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“I BESEECH (BEG) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT your BODIES (FIVE SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your REASONABLE service. 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your mind, that ye may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God” Romans 12:1-2.

“For though we WALK in the flesh, we do not WAR after the flesh: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not CARNAL, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 CASTING down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to REVENGE all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE is FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

“Love not the world [the worlds mindset], neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world” 1 John 2:15-17.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, Me, Myself), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us” 2 Timothy 2:10-12.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE yourself toward godliness. 8 For BODILY exercise profits a little, but GODLINESS is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

“That having been JUSTIFIED by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to MAINTAIN good works. These things are GOOD and PROFITABLE to men” Titus 3:7-8.

“But the FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-25.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH

By Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH: YOU CAN ONLY BE MISTAKEN – FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!

People are walking in errors, held captive and taken mistakenly in life because of not having a genuine KNOWLEDGE with the corresponding UNDERSTANDING of the matter in questions about them and those or things they care passionately about. That’s why living by SENTIMENT, ASSUMPTION or PRESUMPTION is an error by every means of judgement in the affairs of DOING LIFE AND GODLY LIVING as a redeemed child of God.

It is ‘THE TRUTH’, only THE TRUTH not just TRUTH or a mere ‘FACT or SENTIMENT, ASSUMPTION’ or ‘PRESUMPTION’, that you Know, that sets you FREE in the Kingdom; and it’s the TRUTH that gives you the Liberation and genuine Freedom that you need to become a VICTOR and not a VICTIM or PREY. The TRUTH, indicates a person, meaning the personality. Its presence in one’s life creates the being that sets free.

You need to know and understand full well that a mere FACT(S) can be photoshop or misconstrued and even fake, be counterfeited; and it’s also limited in divine nature and conscripts to ascertain matters; but THE TRUTH will deal with ONE’S CONSCIOUSNESS no matter HOW or WHAT or WHERE or WHEN in one’s spirit being to unveil or uncover that which only the invisible, authenticate WORD of God can reveal (Hebrews 4:12-13).

The TRUTH is self-empowering. Bury the TRUTH, it will arise on the third day without any assistance to ANSWER any QUEST hidden, misconstrued, conspired or deleted.

Living continually by the TRUTH is made possible by the Holy Spirit of TRUTH. For the TRUTH is THE WORD who then is JESUS. He can’t live GENUINELY IN YOU and you still WALK in errors, deceit and compromise. And If you know you are in errors, deceit, compromise and such like, you NEED a wholesome check by God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit to set you free indeed. Then you CAN actually have a solid WORD-Based Foundation in Christ Jesus and continue STEADFASTLY on the WORD, which is the TRUTH to ensure your freedom and liberation in ALL things in the light of the Holy Writ.

It’s my utmost PRAYER today, that you might come to know THE TRUTH himself and obtain the liberation and freedom you need now and always in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my disciples INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:31-32.

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of TRUTH, is come, he will guide you into all TRUTH: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come” John 16:13.

“For THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND ACTIVE AND FULL OF POWER [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged [b]sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 (Amplified).
