Dear Believer in Christ Jesus, do you really want to WORSHIP GOD WORTHILY and SERVE HIM ACCEPTABLY? If yes, know full well that you can’t ABOUND IN FAITH, HOPE and LOVE of God’s graces when you’ve idolised stuff around you to equal and above God, knowing you are God’s dwelling place.

“What say I then? THAT THE IDOL IS ANY THING, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 1 Corinthians 10:19. 

“AND I FELL AT HIS FEET TO WORSHIP HIM. And he said unto me, SEE THOU DO IT NOT: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: WORSHIP GOD: for THE TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10. 

“What? KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST, WHICH IS IN YOU, WHICH YE HAVE OF GOD, AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. 

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in every nation he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH righteousness, is ACCEPTED with him. 36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)” Acts 10:34-36 (1 Peter 1:17; James 2:1-13; Colossians 3:24-25; Ephesians 6:9; Romans 2:10-11;

LIVING THOUGHT: YOU ARE GOD’S CHURCH – A PART OF THE CHURCHES OF GOD! 

“. . . 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL shall not prevail against it . . .” Matthew 16:14-20. 

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH of God: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33. 

“Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me DAILY, the CARE of all THE CHURCHES” 2 Corinthians 11:28. 

The CHURCH is NOT the CATHEDRAL or STRUCTURAL BUILDING or DENOMINATIONISED CREED OR RELIGIOUS INCLINATION of any kind that you may think. For YOU ARE the Church and a part of THE CHURCHES of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen! You ARE a member in particular of the body of Christ Jesus [1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 5:22-33] – which means you ARE one of the Church of the Churches that the Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus, is building, the Church that’s been saved and washed by His blood, and had been REDEEMED from every kindred, nation, tongue, people and of irrespective of any measures [Matthew 16:18; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-10]. 

You ARE that God’s building, that’s undergoing His works 24/7, ascribed as a HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people, a CHOSEN generation and a ROYAL priesthood, that has received mercies and set to show forth the praise of Him that has called you from darkness into His marvellous light of fellowship with Saviour and Lord – Christ Jesus. Amen [1 Peter 2:9-10; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 3:8-9]. You ARE God’s temple, His dwelling place [1 Corinthians 6:19-20]. You ARE of God and He lives in you. You are the dwelling of the Holy Godhead, and the greater one resides in you. That’s awesomeness, graciousness, gracefulness and BLESSEDNESS indeed. 

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, than he that is in the world . . .6 We ARE of God: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby KNOW we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4, 6. 

It’s a high time you know who you ARE and ARE BECOMING of God in Christ Jesus stead; otherwise, you may be subject to the SECTARIANISM and DENOMINATIONALISM and RELIGIOSITY that’s embedded in the tradition of men, the make-belief and dogmas, creeds, bylaws and philosophy that leads to further BONDAGES and not after Christ Jesus stead. When you know you are the Church, you won’t be having infighting as the Corinthians Churches who compete, compare and lay claims to dominance as to saying – “I am of Paul or I am of Apollos” that they nearly ruined their faith of God in Christ Jesus. Even today, many have subjected themselves to – “I am of this DENOMINATION, and of that SECTARIANISM or and of that Apostle or Prophet or Pastor and such like, than to being after Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, as His Church, a part of the Churches of God in Him. 

“. . . 6 As ye have therefore RECEIVED Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK ye in him: 7 ROOTED and BUILT up in him, and STABLISHED in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION OF MEN, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and NOT AFTER Christ. 9 For in him DWELLETH all the FULNESS of the Godhead bodily. . .” Colossians 2:1-23. 

“. . . 3 For ye are yet CARNAL: for whereas there is among you ENVYING, and STRIFE, and DIVISIONS, are ye not CARNAL, and WALK AS MEN? 4 For while one saith, I AM OF PAUL; AND ANOTHER, I AM OF APOLLOS; ARE YE NOT CARNAL? 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase . . .” 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 

Gathering at the structural building is Scripturally good, needful and helpful but it’s not the Church. It’s you, your PRESENCE in that place and with OTHERS that makes the building in terms “the Church and the CHURCHES” per se, otherwise it could be any hall or places of doing life also like restaurants, Office, Leisure centre etc. 

“NOT FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25. 

“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the GENERAL ASSEMBLY and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24. 

Know for certainty, that the Church, is made up firstly, of the individual – you, then the local – group gathering otherwise called assembly and the universal body, of the born of God in Christ Jesus, under a shepherd. This is worth noting as you do life in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. The Church/Churches is/are not reckoned by any religion or religious or religiosity attached to a set denomination and affiliates, but as a body, living under God in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit leads and leadership, through the living WORD of God. 

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK, for you ARE the CHURCH that Father God is building in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore if ANY MAN be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (Emphasis Mine). 

“. . . 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt BIND on earth shall be BOUND in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE on earth shall be LOOSED in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:14-20. 

“Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9 For WE ARE LABOURERS together with God: ye ARE God’s HUSBANDRY, ye ARE God’s BUILDING” 1 Corinthians 3:8-9. 

“and what agreement hath the TEMPLE of God with idols? for ye ARE the TEMPLE of the living God; as God hath said, I will DWELL in them, and WALK in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people” 2 Corinthians 6:16. 

“Know ye not that ye ARE the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man defile the TEMPLE of God, him shall God destroy; for the TEMPLE of God is holy, which TEMPLE ye ARE.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-20. 

“What? know ye not that your body is the TEMPLE of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye HAVE of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore GLORIFY God in your BODY, and in your SPIRIT, which ARE God’s” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.

LIVING THOUGHT: YOU ARE GOD’S CHURCH!

LIVING THOUGHT: YOU ARE GOD’S CHURCH!

The CHURCH is NOT the CATHEDRAL or STRUCTURAL BUILDING of any kind that you may think. For YOU ARE the Church. The one Christ Jesus is building. You ARE that building undergoing His work. You ARE His temple, his dwelling place. You ARE of God and He lives in you. You are the dwelling of the Holy Godhead and the greater one resides in you. That’s awesomeness, graciousnesss and gracefulness indeed.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, than he that is in the world . . .6 We ARE of God: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby KNOW we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4, 6.

It’s a high time you know who you are and are becoming in God in Christ Jesus stead. Otherwise, you may be subject to the tradition of men make belief and dogmas, creeds, bylaws and philosophy that leads to BONDAGES and not after Christ Jesus stead.

“. . . 6 As ye have therefore RECEIVED Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK ye in him: 7 ROOTED and BUILT up in him, and STABLISHED in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION OF MEN, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and NOT AFTER Christ. 9 For in him DWELLETH all the FULNESS of the Godhead bodily. . .” Colossians 2:1-23

Gathering at the structural building is Scripturally good, needful and helpful but it’s not the Church. It’s your PRESENCE in that place and with OTHERS that makes the building in terms “Church” per se, otherwise it could be any hall or places of doing life also – Hebrews 10:25; Hebrews 12:22-24. Know for certainty, that the Church, is the individual – you, the local gathering otherwise called assembly and the universal body, of the born of God in Christ Jesus, under a shepherd. This is worth noting as you do life in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK for you ARE the CHURCH that Father God is building in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

You ARE God’s Dwelling Place: Stop That IDOLISING And IDOL Worship!

Dear Believer in Christ Jesus, do you really wants to WORSHIP GOD WORTHILY and SERVE HIM ACCEPTABLY? If yes, know full well that you can’t ABOUND IN FAITH, HOPE and LOVE of God’s graces when you’ve idolised stuff around you to equal and above God, knowing you are God’s dwelling place.

You can’t acclaim to be God’s dwelling place when you inhabit IDOL as ornaments and IDOLISED anything before your God. You must come to a state of reverence and reverential fear where you let not anything stand between you and God in matters of WORSHIP and in advancing the KINGDOM SERVICES and CAUSES of God in Christ Jesus stead.

Today is another opportune time and moment been given to you to make a difference. And knowing full well that ANYTHING that robs you of a great and good starts in God’s temple – your body or rather your being, is an IDOL.

STOP THAT IDOLISING! Get rid of that IDOL ORNAMENTS. You can’t WORSHIP and SERVE God with PERSON’S and MAMMON’S!

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

“What say I then? THAT THE IDOL IS ANY THING, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?” 1 Corinthians 10:19.

“AND I FELL AT HIS FEET TO WORSHIP HIM. And he said unto me, SEE THOU DO IT NOT: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: WORSHIP GOD: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” Revelation 19:10. 

“What? KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS IN YOU, WHICH YE HAVE OF GOD, AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
