STAY PLANTED TO FLOURISH
The local church is an assembly of those who have believed in Jesus for salvation. Let no one deceive you, church is as much a gathering as it is an individual. Without the gathering of the saints, there will be no way to stir each other up to good works. The church being an assembly makes corporate intercession possible (Act 12:5) and also the demonstration of spiritual gifts, 1 Corinthians 12;7
It is more than vital to stay committed, planned, and loyal to your local church because it causes you to flourish in your life’s endeavours. The more planted you are in your local assembly, the more you can guarantee a glorious future for yourself. You must yield yourself to God’s local church and submit yourself to ministry gifts. Refuse to let unbelievers determine for you how to serve God.
Pastoral counsel holds life for you. Never despise the counsel and instructions of God’s anointed servants over you. God changes men by sending other men into their lives. This is why the devil wants you to bad opinion of the ministers of the gospel around you in order to cut short you receiving from God.
Believe in the, wisdom, anointing, and counsel of your pastor. Jesus says it this way, ‘’believe in God, believe also in me.’’ So, it is not enough to believe in God; you must believe in God’s man over you. 2 chronicles 20:20 says, ‘’believe in the lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.’’ Your prosperity is directly tied to faith in your man of God.
Stay loyal, committed, and faithful to your local church. Your tithing is a basic test of your faithfulness. Your tithes belong to your local church. Being committed and connected to a local assembly is God’s wisdom to make you flourish in your career, family, health, and ministry.
Happy Sunday!
