CHURCH CONSCIOUS 1

Text: “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.” Ps 122:1

Our anchor scripture today is an expression of David’s attitude towards the church. He had so much excitement about going into the house of the Lord. The church has a major and significant role to play in our lives. Each one of us must be conscious of this.

Please understand that the Church is not a physical building. Church is the body of Christ which has Christ himself as the head and the believers as the members of that body. Despising Church is despising Christ the head. We cannot claim we love the head when we despise the body.
We may have all manner of excuses not to go regularly; we may see irregularities that are keeping us away but then understand that the Church is not a “flawless” place but a perfect place where the perfect God works on imperfect people to bring out the perfection hidden in them. Please read this all over again. If you despise the Church you are more or less saying that you are perfect and the Church has no part to play in your life. It’s actually an expression of pride; you are seeing yourself as better than every other person that goes to Church.

The Church is God’s contact point on the earth where the lives of men are moulded and built up for their ultimate destiny. If you go to a right Church where the Spirit of God is in control and the word of God is taught you will grow and encounter destiny. The choice of a Church should never be taken for granted. So many people have believed wrong things all their lives due to a Church they have attended.

The proximity of a Church to your house should never be a reason to be there. That your parents attended a particular Church should not be the reason to stay there all your life, except it’s a place where you are truly built up spiritually.

To be continued....

PRAYER:

Lord cause our Churches to be a place of encounter with your power that changes lives.
