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

#FUNCTIONING LIKE GOD#8

The spirit of a man is the essence of Him The spirit has a soul and lives in a body But the realness of the trio Is yet the spirit   God is Spirit by nature So when He created you and I In His image and likeness created He us That we may function even like Him So just like the Spirit of God is the essence of God So is the spirit of man the essence of man   But before a man can fully function like God He needs the Spirit of God To yet fill his own spirit To make possible the fellowship of Spirits Like it was in the garden of Eden   If you have received into spirit The spirit which is of God Then you need to continuously fellowship with HIM To fully manifest the person of God And to function like Him   If you have believed in Jesus Christ But have not received into your spirit The Spirit of God Then all you need to do Is to ask the father in faith Who alone give good gifts ...

How to become a Son of God.

What man lost at the beginning was a relationship with God. Without this relationship with God, man feels empty, void, incomplete and is eternally damned. To feel this void, many people resort into drinking, smoking and other destructive habits.. Some people resort into more education, pursuit of success, some think having a great family life can fill this void. Yet others try to be religious, trying so hard to please God thru religious services.  Yet, none of this can fill this void. The problem is that WHAT CAUSED THE SEPARATION BETWEEN GOD AND MAN WAS SIN. And any of the above-mentioned method is NOT capable of removing the problem of sin. However, God has solved this problem of sin Himself, by punishing our sins upon Himself. He paid the penalty of sin Himself, by death on the cross, as a man Jesus. HE THEREFORE MADE OUR FORGIVENESS AVAILABLE IN CHRIST. John 1:12 "But to ALL who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become child...

YOU ARE A SPIRIT

You are a spirit Man has three components which makes Him up which is the SPIRIT, the SOUL, and the BODY, so Man is a spirit who has a soul which lives in a body, hence, the real person inside of you is the spirit inside of you. When God created man, He made Him in His image and after His own likeness and also the scripture makes us to understand that God is Spirit (John 4:23), meaning that if God is spirit and He actually made us in His image, then we also are spirit beings . Now, as a believer, the spirit in you has been regenerated at salvation i.e. new birth (2cor 5:17), but that regenerated spirit has to be constantly fed with God’s word to strengthen him. Now, 1pet 2:2 explained that new born babes should desire the sincere milk of the Word for growth. Here the newly recreated spirit in man is being likened to a new born baby who requires the breast milk of the mother for growth, similarly, the newly recreated spirit should not be starved of food just like a baby should n...
