STAY AND BE COMMITTED IN CHURCH

Wednesday, May 7th.

Pastor Chris

📖And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence (Colossians 1:18).

Some people have stopped going to church because they were offended by what others said or did to them. That shouldn't be. Never let anything keep you from going to church or withdraw from fellowship. Stay and be committed in church, serving the Lord.

Sadly, some carry the same attitude they grew up with at home into the church. Maybe their parents reprimanded them or did something they didn’t like, so they left home and chose never to return. They developed a resistance to correction or unforgiveness, and they brought that same disposition into the church. No; in Christ, we receive corrections and instructions in humility and love, and we learn to forgive when offended.

Salvation signifies that Jesus is the Lord of your life. You can’t just do what you choose anymore; you’re no longer in charge of your life. The Lord Jesus said, “...I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). In His church, He has set structures in place.

The Bible says, “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:11-13). There’s an order in the Church, and as Christians, we adhere to that order because He is our Lord.

Spiritual growth involves learning to receive and follow instructions, spiritual guidance, and accept discipline. These are evidence that your mind is being renewed and your life has been transformed. So in church you grow and become more effective in your Christian walk through the corrections, instructions and guidance you receive from the Word.

Don’t say, “I was offended by what the Pastor said, so I’m going to stop attending the church.” Remember that the Lord Himself is in charge of His Church and you follow Him (John 10:4). And part of submitting to His lordship is submitting to the structures He has established in His Church.

PRAYER

Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for being the Lord of my life. I submit to your guidance and the order you have established in the Church. I refuse to let offence hinder my walk with you or my fellowship with my brothers and sisters in the Lord. Thank you for teaching me to listen, grow, and follow you faithfully. Amen.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

KEEP A DIARY OF SOULS

Tuesday, May 6th.

Pastor Chris

📖Here's my concern: that you care for God's flock with all the diligence of a shepherd… (1 Peter 5:2 MSG).

In the previous study, we reviewed the importance of complete evangelism. When you lead someone to Christ, you should keep track of their journey in Christ. Two years later, for example, you should still remember them and keep praying for them. Consider keeping a diary of the people you lead to Christ, and you’ll be amazed at how long that list will become over time.

As you lead people to Christ, encourage them to do the same. Tell them, "When you lead someone to Christ, let me know. You can send me their names and addresses. I’ll be praying for them." As your list grows, take time to bow your knees before the Father and pray for everyone on your list.

The Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, said in Galatians 4:19, “My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” Pray like this for those whose names are on your list. Be strategic with your intercession for them, that they be established in the faith, doing the will of the Father, active in the work of the ministry, and bringing glory to God always.

Pray also for other new converts whom the Lord has added to the church, that they be established in the Word, firmly rooted and grounded in the faith, and that the Lord is perfecting His work in their lives for His glory. Pray for them to be more and more passionate, committed and fearless labourers of the end-time harvest, and that through them, more souls receive the Gospel gladly and are converted to the Kingdom.

In John 17:12, Jesus said, “…those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost....” This should always be your testimony concerning all those you lead to Christ or those whom the Lord adds to your local assembly through your evangelical efforts. Remember that evangelism has to be a conscious effort. It must be a sincere and personal ministry; it’s not a one-time event. It is a continuous, deliberate effort to bring others into God’s Kingdom and follow them up until they’re nurtured and grounded in the Faith.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the opportunity to partner with you in the ministry of reconciliation. I take personal responsibility for those I lead to Christ. I remain fervent in prayer for their growth and dedication to spiritual things. Thank you for the joy and fulfilment of seeing lives transformed for your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY📖=> || Ephesians 1:15-20 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places], ||

|| Galatians 4:19 NIV My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you, ||

|| Colossians 1:3-6 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love [which][ ye have] to all the saints, 5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 6 Which is come unto you, as [it is] in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as [it doth] also in you, since the day ye heard [of it], and knew the grace of God in truth: ||

IF YOU ARE NOT YET BORN AGAIN, KINDLY SAY THIS PRAYER TO RECEIVE SALVATION NOW!🤲=> https://bit.ly/3Xlai
