It's always funny when people say we ought not to forbid any activity in church meetings since we can do them in our homes. (Never mind that they don't take such suggestions to their schools and workplaces).
So, we sleep in our houses too. Can't we just have a sleeping seminar? Where we all come to sleep? Wait upon the Lord for dreams or night visions? After all, He gives His beloved sleep.
We play video games at home? Would it be bad to have a Video Games Sunday where we glorify Jesus in a mortal kombat way? I'm tempted to cite an example of something else we do outside church, but I repent.
There are lots of things we do AS THE CHURCH, in our homes and that's fine. We're still the church when we close meetings. So it just means, when we scatter as a church, in our individual homes we can do all those secular and social activities freely. (Some folks get drunk on movies and sports literally). But when we gather, we know why we gather, right? Hebrew 10:25; 1 Corinthians 14:26. To take our attention off the world and all we busy ourselves with, and to set our mind, will, and affection on Him. Any local church committed this way will help believers break free from extreme devotion to the pleasures of this life, even in their individual spaces. The reason many don't feed on the word and pray is because they've being mastered by these earthly, pleasurable activities. So we don't need to fan that into flames when we gather to edify ourselves.
Enough said

#WHO TO LOOK UP TO# 9

In the midst of storms And all is cold and Choky When the storm is severely harsh Have faith in God   When all hope seems lost And there is no one to turn to When there is darkness all around Your God is able   When friends and family forsake And all has deserted None seems to care But Jesus Alone   Cast your cares upon Him For He alone cares for you Look unto Jesus, the author, And the finisher of your faith   He says peace be still That He has conquered the world Keep your gaze upon Him in patience Joy comes in the morning

#In Whose Hands #10

A basketball in my hands is worth about $19. A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million. It depends whose hands it's in . A baseball in my hands is worth about $6. A baseball in Mark Mcguire's hands is worth $19 million. It depends whose hands it's in. A tennis racket is useless in my hands. A tennis racket in Pete Sampras' hands is a Wimbledon Championship. It depends whose hands it's in. A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal. A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea. It depends whose hands it's in. A sling shot in my hands is a kid's toy. A sling shot in David's hand is a mighty weapon. It depends whose hands it's in. Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches. Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in God's hands fed thousands. It depends whose hands it's in. Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse. Nails in Jesus Christ's hands pr

Leading of The Spirit(Direction in a simple way)1

John 8:12(KJV) 12[Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, ] I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Light is a gift in Christ. Jesus speaks of followers. Followers are believers .Disciples. We become disciples by the gospel . Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV) 18[And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ] All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. The Narratives of Luke in the book of acts relates this well. It calls believers disciples and disciples are believers. Ephesians 5:8-9 (KJV) 8[For ye were sometimes darkness, but now ] are ye[ light in the Lord: walk as children of light:] 9[(For the fruit of the Spirit ] is[ in
