Dear Christian Brother and Sister,
The service has ended, and I trust you had a wonderful and Spirit-filled time in the presence of God.
Being a church goer simply means attending church mainly for yourself.
You come for the service, but may not attend to the needs of others.
You are available to be seen, but not necessarily to be used.
But that is not the plan of our Lord Jesus.
God desires us to be MEMBERS, not merely goers.
A member functions. A member makes supply to other parts of the body.
A member prays for others, for the service, the pastor, and the leaders.
Just like we see in the book of Acts,
members give sacrificially to ensure that the needs of the local church are met.
They attend other meetings beyond the traditional Sunday services.
They gather to pray when there is a need, just as the church prayed when Peter and John were threatened and when Peter was in prison.
They go out for evangelism, just like the believers in Acts 8.
And much more.
Stop being just a goer. Start being a member!
Join a department and function.
Attend the prayer meetings.
Ask about the needs of your church and participate in giving towards them.
Come early and be available for service.
Don't attend church alone, bring someone with you.
And throughout the week, live in a way that makes your local church proud.
Never forget: it is not only that the local church needs you. You need it even more!
Whenever you attend church services, come prepared, with your Bible and notes, and that you are ready to receive and participate.
Also, remember something for the children's church and give your best in every way.
Church is not just another meeting. It is one of the greatest gatherings on earth, the gathering of God's people.
May the Word you received today continue to bear fruit in your life throughout the week.
I call you blessed.
