WHY ARE YOU HERE (HOUSE OF GOD)? - John 10:1-10;
Apostle D. K. Nelson
There are a lots of motives why people come to church. Some positive and negative. Know the motive for joining the church because there are others who came to build the church and others who came to destroy the church.
The first church was that of Adam and was visited by the devil likewise the second church by Jesus Christ, which was also visited by the devil.
Anyone who does not give respect to the church authorities are not at the church to build it (Mark 1:23). Once you don’t have strong love for God and the church, the devil can use you to destroy the church.
Our motive to church should be to build the church instead of destroying it. Your actions towards the church will show either you are for God or against God. Some prefer to give priority to their schooling, work and other aspects of social life than to give to God, which is unwise.
Beloved, be mindful of the people you make as friends in the church. The church is the individual beings who have come together to worship and not the building, thus, your absence in church weakens the church since you are not part of the church.
Don’t be like the thief who enters not through the door to just cause destruction. God bless you.
