What Is Your Reason Of Going To Church Today. by emelux: 6:25am On Nov 06, 2016 |
Good morning And Happy Sunday,today is the Sabbath day which was to keep Holy,Wat have u done to keep this day Holy... So many Christians of nowadays goes to church just to please others,some going to show their New cloths,Phones,Cars, forgetting that God deserve more than that in is present,Many people refuse to get near a church unless their nephew is playing the role of a sheep in the Christmas pageant! They claim they can get more out of a walk in the woods than from the typical sermon. When you become a Christian, you are called into a relationship with God (1 Corinthians 1:9). But I John 1:3 makes it clear that we enter a fellowship that goes two ways: with God and with other Christians. USE OF SPIRITUAL GIFTS÷I Corinthians 12 makes it clear that God has given spiritual gifts to every Christian. And verse 7 states unmistakably that these abilities are not provided to make you feel good; they are abilities to minister that should be used for the common good! I Peter 4:10 commands us to use spiritual gifts to help each other. HELP÷The New Testament is full of “one another” commands. We are to comfort one another (I Thessalonians 4:18), build up one another (I Thessalonians 5:11), confess our sins to one another (James 5:16), pray for one another (James 5:16), and many more. How can we obey these directives if we stay away from the gathering of believers?so you have reason going to church than going to show your swags......... ACCOUNTABILITY—God designed the church as a place where spiritual leaders could watch out for our welfare, as a shepherd guards the sheep (I Peter 5:1-4; Hebrews 13:17). A Christian who answers only to himself can easily rationalize sinful attitudes or actions; regular contact with other Christians can keep us sharp,protect and guide our decision making.... God bless you all...... 3 Likes 1 Share |

Going to church is not a Sunday-Sunday thing, it's beyond that. Going to church should involve all the church activities/meetings one is required to be part of. I have many reasons to go to church and so many other reasons not to go to church. But I discovered over time that the Reason to go to church outweighs the reasons not to go because "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" These are some of my topmost reasons: It Is What Jesus Did Luke 14:6 says, "Jesus went back to Nazareth, where he'd been brought up and as usual he went to the meeting place on the Sabbath." It Is a Good Habit Hebrews 10:25 says, "Some people have gotten out of the habit of meeting for worship. But we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other, especially since you know that the day of the Lord's coming is getting closer." It Is a Positive Example Going to church is a positive example. When you go to church, you're setting an example. You are setting an example that other people notice. It is an example that becomes an inspiration for others. People who are trying to make their lives better, people who want a positive change are going to be impacted by an example of someone who is committed to regular church attendance. For those of you who are married, it's a positive example to your spouse. For those of you that have children, it's an absolutely positive example for your kids to know that on Sunday and other days you go to church. For the people around you, whether it's your friends or your co-workers, whether it's your family, when they see that you have a commitment that is leading you to living a better life - that is a positive example that other people can follow. It Is Important for Fellowship Look again at what the Bible says, "Do not forsake the gathering of the believers." Some have gotten out of the habit. We should not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other. The church is an encouraging place. We all need encouragement. Life is hard. Life is difficult. We all run into various kinds of challenges; health problems, financial issues, conflict within our families. We have an opportunity to encourage one another and that is part of what church is about. It Is Essential for Growth It is absolutely essential for spiritual growth to regularly attend church. I have this phrase, "The service you miss is the service you need." Each service is tailored and designed to maximize your Sunday and other days worship so that you can leave with the best possible spiritual experience. You can praise and worship God and you can learn things that you didn't know before. You will be challenged. You're going to be motivated. Church is where you will be inspired to go higher than you've gone, to live a life that is godlier and greater than you've been living, to sync your life up with Jesus and His purpose and plan for your life. You will come to understand why you're here on this earth: to serve, to give and to love. Don't come occasionally to church. Don't just come when you feel like it. Make regular church attendance a priority and let it be a good habit that becomes a part of who you are. Nothing does more for your spiritual health than regularly being in church. Being in a church service is irreplaceable. It is a moment in time and once it's gone, it's gone forever. There will always be competition for your time and other things that you could do on a service days. But these are really good reasons you should regularly attend church. Shalom 5 Likes |

I remember one day in September 2001, My dad gave me money to pay the electricity bill but instead i bought a lottery ticket for a brand new car When i got home, i told my dad what i did with the money he gave me and he flog the living daylights out of my brain with his leather belt The next Morning, my father had to go to work early in the morning at 7:30am, when he opened the door, he saw a brand new car parked in our compound, he called out and we were rejoicing, I was really crying because i bought the ticket that won the car A man got out of the car and told my father that they're from the NEPA office and that was their car, they're here to cut our light, my father flogged me again with knife till i fainted 8 Likes |

To thank and worship YAHWEH the Mighty Creator and eternal Owner of the Universe for sending us JESUS Christ. John 3:19 "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world" True Love is Holiness I'm shedding tears of Joy LORD JESUS, you are indeed the Savoir of the world. Before Jesus came, men lived like animals thinking there's is no hope of conquering death and living forever. I watched true life story movies like Troy, Hercules, SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND, Agora, Cleopatra, Caligular, etc.. and had a small insight into the wanton killings, lovelessness, satanic immorality, cannibalistic and animistic transformation that was fast to make the world to self-destruct just before the timely intervention of the Birth of JESUS Christ that showed them the Truth. Men lived like animals those days because they thought we die and end like animals; no afterlife, no judgement, no Power in being Holy. That was what they thought. If the exemplary Jesus was not born, the sane world as we know it today would not exist. Indeed, HE already saved the world by showing that death is not the end of Man; and that sane holiness is true Love; very possible. Can you imagine what the world would have become had it being JESUS was not born?! https://davidschrock.com/2011/12/12/darkness-the-world-in-which-christ-was-born/ http://biblehub.com/library/killen/the_ancient_church/chapter_i_the_roman_empire.htm "Nor is it strange that the Roman Empire at this period exhibited such a scene of moral pollution. There was nothing in either the philosophy or the religion of heathenism sufficient to counteract the influence of man's native depravity. In many instances the speculations of the pagan sages had a tendency, rather to weaken, than to sustain, the authority of conscience. After unsettling the foundations of the ancient superstition, the mind was left in doubt and bewilderment; for the votaries of what was called wisdom entertained widely different views even of its elementary principles. The Epicureans, who formed a large section of the intellectual aristocracy, denied the doctrine of Providence, and pronounced pleasure to be the ultimate end of man." http://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/jlgi/jlgi03.htm "CONDITION OF THE WORLD AT THE BIRTH OF JESUS A solemn period of the world's destiny was approaching; the sky was overshadowed with darkness and filled with sinister omens. In spite of the efforts of the initiates, polytheism, throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe, had terminated only in the downfall of civilization. The sublime cosmogony of Orpheus, so gloriously chanted by Homer, had not been attained, and the only explanation possible is that human nature found great difficulty in maintaining a certain intellectual altitude." https://spreadingthewordwithoutsayingawordministry./2013/02/24/spiritual-wickedness-in-high-places/ http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Believer's%20Corner/Doctrines/demonology.htm http://www.crossroad.to/charts/end-times.htm 2 Likes |
