You ARE The Church: You Are Not Being Closed – It’s Just The Gathering Place Been Shut!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scriptures says that wisdom is PROFITABLE to direct. And because not all of us are in the same wave of grace and strength as a Church to withstand robustly some measures, it’s very important that every sacrifice to help especially the young in Faith are considered – hence the building gathering may be considered shut for the time been, the services for the advancement of the Kingdom Causes are not shut. It’s not a weakening but a wise sense to flourish all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Apostle Paul did say, for the WEAK I became WEAK to make them grow together as others to be strong – that’s what a good shepherd of the flocks does. And to the strong, I do all I can to keep them strengthen he said. As we take care for the Sheep, the Lambs who are most vulnerable can’t be forgotten as part of this journey of LIFE and GRACE in the Kingdom Causes of our God to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For we are the Church\nbeing built of the Father God in our Lord Christ Jesus by the Word through\nprayers in the empowering of the Holy Spirit; as such we the Church are not the\nstructurally and architecturally building; hence as a charismatic and dynamic\nbody, we can adapt with the changes to advance the Kingdom Causes of our God as\nwe keep the enemy and cohorts at bay through this period until the world present\npredicament come to a hold at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Moses and His\nleadership was able to take along the mobile Church in the wilderness to the\npromised land of grace in spite of the ups and downs, may every Pastoral\nleadership I pray, will by God’s wisdom takes God’s people under their\nShepherding to the places of stability, strength and counsel in LIFE and\nGODLINESS during this challenging and difficult times of our Health and\nEconomic life beeing tested again WORLD wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Churches leadership can use the services of the home cell groups or and social media streamlining platforms or and recorded videos and or Audio and video formats to transmit the Word to keep the Church services alive and engaged gracefully and graciously in knowledge and understanding without disruptions. More so, using the telephone lines as timeless avenues for counselling and prayers where needed in cause of channelling cares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May I make this profound\nnote for everyone to know that during the cause and course of this process that\nthe dynamics in which we go about doing and running Church services will be\nchanging and denominational boundary and limitations will be broken. So get\nready to wise up from the limited bonds and conditions you may have build\nyourself all these while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its my prayers that as\nPastoral leadership team open up the more to the Holy Spirit, there will be\nabsolute update to lead the flocks of God unhindered in LIFE and GODLY LIVING\nin Christ Jesus stead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
