Paul who was a traveling Evangelist,
sometimes when he went into a city, town or church to preach sometimes he
had to do a much needed cleaning up and setting thing in order according to the Word so that a much needed teaching or Word could go forth ,
He was hindered because of many reasons , various issues in the church, confusion over this and that (in house fighting) "milk issues" things that should not be named as becoming saints,
how can we effect or affect the world when we have no control over our flesh ? We are just out of control sometimes.......the sinners can't get into the house of God to affect and further kingdom building...(To bring to life the great commission in their lives, they can't get to the alter for all the saints around the alter)
Once again, how can I bring you glad tiding when in your mental state you so hung up over your past, your lost and missed opportunity that you can't receive the blessing that's right in front of you.......
The Word says in Timothy to stir up the gift.....put away theses things that so easily beset you and move on or as Jesus told the fisherman after they had fished all night with no success..... to cast their net on the other side of the boat. ( so many fish the net braked)
Sometimes you got to dare to be different, apply for that new car, go after that new job, ask your boss for a raise, ask your long term Girlfriend for her hand in marriage.......stop shacking and start stacking the blessings of God on your life through being obedient, respectful, showing honor, by being a man or woman of integrity..
You see the story says they had fished all night with no success, Jesus comes by and says simply to cast your net on the other side... Well you know the story the net broke, they experienced a overflow blessing!
You see what God has for you is for you! God will hold it up, slow it up just for you!
In my closing the next time a evangelist comes in your midst declaring and exhortation the Word of God in your midst, Mist that Evangelist back with hearty Amens , lift up and clap those hands and Praise the Lord.....
put away isms and schisms , put in its place the truths, the death burial and Resurrection of Jesus and tell a dying world the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life...
Leaders will not be punish as lay members that pick up the word at will, the word says woe to he that scatters the sheep, we won't be patted on the hands. We know through the Word , We will be hit with many strips..... for we know better and should learn to do better.
We have a leadership responsibility...... When you step out into the forefront, and say publicly that I will walk with the Lord in any capacity, it comes with a responsibility of leadership....
You are no longer on milk , but you are on meat , with elevation comes separation.....one of the main separations is self, self control, self denial, all theses self's that have their beginnings from the root selfish.......
.a word by its self speaks volumes. Arguing in public, disagreeing in a ungodly vocal way, all symptoms of the works of the flesh...these things should not be named among the becoming saints ...
It just amazes me the things that go on in the house of the Lord... I know it is our hospital , people who are sick need a Great physician , the church is our dressing room, the place where we practice getting along with people.... and learn about ourselves.
Church folks are the real reason why membership is down in so many houses of worship.....
, so busy catering to each other we forget,the Word say he that is great is to serve the other.
In house bickering, talking to each any kind of way, the works of the flesh are busy and in action The tongue reflects the heart/ we can not just say anything out of our mouth......where's your self control? What's in the heart will come out and embarrass you on Sunday morning. This is not a time for complaining but a time for understanding.
Sylvester Ofori from facebook so wisely said :
" Many who say Our Father on Sunday spend the rest of the week acting like orphans. The church is a hospital for sinners, not a rest home for saints. A cold church is like cold butter, it doesn't spread well. The Church that does not evangelize will fossilize. The more the Church loses its salt, the less thirsty the world becomes. When passion returns to the church, His presence walks in the door"
. . At no time do we have the right to embarrass the kingdom.
