TO MAKE A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICES TO GOD: THIS IS BY FELLOWSHIP – IT’S WHAT ENSURES OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD! 

“. . . 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE worshippers shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24. 

It’s time to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP. 

“For we are the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH [Senses]” Philippians 3:3/Emphasis Mine. 

It is a gracious and graceful thing to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY; however, true and genuine acts of WORSHIP and SERVING flow from FELLOWSHIP with Christ Jesus. 

This is what ENSURES and ENHANCES our RELATIONSHIP with Father God in Christ Jesus by the indwelling Holy Spirit that has been given to us. 

And it is into this place of FELLOWSHIP that Father God has CALLED us — to deepen, to strengthen, and to enjoy our RELATIONSHIP with Him in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“And HOPE MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5. 

And this act of FELLOWSHIP to ensure our RELATIONSHIP with Father God is manifested within and through our spirit to the Father God, in the light of God’s Blessed WORD, and empowered by the indwelling working of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 
1 John 4:19 
“We love him, because he first loved us.” 
Philippians 3:3 
“For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” 

By virtue of Salvation — being Born Again — born from above — in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, we have RELATIONSHIP with God. 
And this RELATIONSHIP gives us ACCESS by faith to the nature of God, which sets us apart as a holy person and people unto God; and to the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ — in order to stand before Him unashamed, undaunted, guiltless, unafraid, and not inferior. 

And the result of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus is to have and to keep a healthy RELATIONSHIP with God. 
But to enhance and ensure that RELATIONSHIP, in order to THRIVE and be FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, we must FELLOWSHIP — the unhindered, conscious reverence of God, worthily and acceptably in WORSHIP and SERVICE. 

One great act of FELLOWSHIP is to intentionally and consciously render WORSHIP and SERVICE to God in Christ Jesus. 

Worship and Service, in this context, is the dedication of your triune being to God in an unhindered 24/7 channel of communication. 
Meaning it is not only when you are in a positioned and customised place and the like, but the total opening of your spirit being always towards Father God, in order to have unhindered communication at all times. 
That is the WORSHIP and SERVICE birthed in the human spirit by the Holy Spirit, in the light of the WORD, unto God the Father in Christ Jesus. 

Also, this act of WORSHIP and SERVICE in fellowship is NOT the mere religious idea of lifting hands and singing praises ONLY while in a collective gathering with a leading choir directing, after which there is no further room for communication until another scheduled meeting. 

True, genuine, and WORTHY WORSHIP and SERVICE is you in fellowship with God with your spirit, through His WORD, by the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus, irrespective of where you are — with many or alone. 
It is not about the noise or the shouting, but your spirit communing, in communion and in tune with the Holy Spirit unto Father God, in Christ Jesus, by the WORD. 

A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICE is summed up as the act of welcoming, accessing, and giving heavenly permission in your earthly affairs without prejudice, through your spirit, by the Holy Spirit, in the WORD of God. 

One cannot claim to WORSHIP and SERVE God and be a WORSHIPPER of God apart from His WORD and apart from the Holy Spirit in the human spirit. 

I pray that you will take the necessary steps to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP — it is called WORSHIP AND SERVICE. 
I pray you receive UNDERSTANDING. 
Be BLESSED in life and in grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus. 
Amen.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. Amen. 

“Thou art WORTHY, O Lord, to RECEIVE glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they are and were created” Revelation 4:11. 

“For we are the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (Senses” Philippians 3:3 ( Emphasis Mine). 

“For he is NOT a Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is OUTWARD in the FLESH (SENSES): 29 but he is a Jew, which is one INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and not in the LETTER; whose praise is not of men, but of God“ Romans 2:28-29 (Emphasis Mine). 

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30. 

“. . . 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE worshippers shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24. 

” I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I LIVE; yet not I, but Christ LIVETH in me: and the life which I now LIVE in the FLESH (BODY OF SENSES) I LIVE by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” Galatians 2:20 (Emphasis Mine). 

“For to me, to LIVE is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to live] and to die is gain [for I will be with Him in eternity]” Philippians 1:21. 

SUMMARY: 

The message talks about TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICE TO GOD, and that it is only made sense of through FELLOWSHIP — because fellowship is what ENSURES and ENHANCES our RELATIONSHIP with God. 

  1. THE DEFINITION OF TRUE WORSHIP

The message begins by establishing the standard Jesus gave. 
John 4:23-24 
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” 

Therefore, God is not seeking performers. He is seeking worshippers whose spirit is aligned with Him. 
Philippians 3:3 
“For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” 

  1. FELLOWSHIP IS OUR CALLING

The message emphasises that salvation brought us into more than forgiveness. It brought us into FELLOWSHIP. 
1 Corinthians 1:9 
“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” 

By virtue of being Born Again — born from above — in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, we now have RELATIONSHIP with God. 
This RELATIONSHIP gives us ACCESS by faith to God’s nature. It sets us apart as holy unto God and clothes us with the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ, so we can stand before Him unashamed, undaunted, guiltless, unafraid, and not inferior. 
Romans 5:5 
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” 

  1. WHAT WORSHIP AND SERVICE TRULY IS

The message clarifies that it is gracious to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY. 
But true and genuine acts of WORSHIP and SERVICE flow from FELLOWSHIP with Christ Jesus by the indwelling Holy Spirit. 

Worship and Service here means the dedication of your triune being to God in an unhindered 24/7 channel of communication. 
It is not restricted to a building, a choir, or a scheduled service. 

True, genuine, and WORTHY WORSHIP and SERVICE is your spirit in fellowship with God, through His WORD, by the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus — whether alone or with others. 
It is not about noise or shouting, but about your spirit communing and being in tune with the Holy Spirit unto Father God by the WORD. 

A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICE is the act of welcoming, accessing, and giving heavenly permission in your earthly affairs without prejudice, through your spirit, by the Holy Spirit, in the WORD of God. 

  1. WHAT TRUE WORSHIP IS NOT

The message warns against religious routine. 
True worship is NOT only lifting hands and singing in a gathering, after which there is no further communion until the next meeting. 

Romans 2:28-29 
“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.” 
God desires inward reality, not outward display. 

  1. THE PURPOSE AND RESULT OF FELLOWSHIP

To enhance and ensure our RELATIONSHIP with God, and to THRIVE and be FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, we must FELLOWSHIP. 

We were CALLED and PREDESTINATED for this: 
Romans 8:28-30 
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son… whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” 

This life is Christ living through us: 
Galatians 2:20 
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” 
Philippians 1:21 
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” 

  1. THE HEART OF IT ALL

All worship ultimately points to God’s worth: 
Revelation 4:11 
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” 

IN ONE SENTENCE: 

The message talks about how TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICE is FELLOWSHIP — a Spirit-led, Word-based, 24/7 communion of your spirit with Father God in Christ Jesus that secures your relationship, empowers godly living, and brings your life into alignment with God’s pleasure. 

I pray you receive UNDERSTANDING to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through FELLOWSHIP — it is called WORSHIP AND SERVICE. 
Be BLESSED in life and in grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

BLESSED [EMPOWERING] SUNDAY/ANY OTHER DAY OF WORSHIP 

By Leave a Comment

BLESSED [EMPOWERING] DAY OF WORSHIP: IT’S THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS CHURCH! 

“For we [who ARE born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, set apart for His purpose and] ARE the true circumcision, who WORSHIP in the Spirit of God and glory and take pride and exult in Christ Jesus and place no confidence [in what we have or who we are] in the flesh” Philippians 3:3/Amplified. 
 
You ARE God’s Church, being built up in grace through faith; and by love and hope in Christ Jesus’ stead you can stand assured in glory and virtue. 

And I want you to know that church services in any place called for the gathering of God’s people are necessary; but the Church, as you are, is the gathering to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY in spirit and in truth, in Christ Jesus, in grace. Anything contrary to this is religion, religiosity, sectarianism, denominational indoctrination, and such like.  

“But the hour cometh, and NOW is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP Him must WORSHIP Him IN spirit and IN truth” John 4:23-24. 

There is the need to be ALWAYS in the gathering of God’s gracious, precious and blessed people for the inspiring, revealing and empowering of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

“And let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds, 25 not FORSAKING OUR MEETING TOGETHER [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the HABIT OF SOME, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching” Hebrews 10:24-25/Amplified. 

Do not be a LONE Church, otherwise you are making yourself vulnerable and exposed to dangers known and unknown. For there is an enemy and his cohorts of the faith who will spare nothing to make prey and victims of a lone Church.  

“. . . This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and The Church . . .” Ephesians 5:32 [21-33]. 

Be intentional and pragmatic to find yourself a place called THERE — [the gathering of God’s precious and redeemed people] — to worship and serve the Father God together by the Holy Spirit, through the Word, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Meaning: a people of like precious faith, believing in the grace in Christ Jesus’ stead, under a Shepherd. 

“Obey your [spiritual] leaders and submit to them [recognizing their authority over you], for they are keeping watch over your souls and continually guarding your spiritual welfare as those who will give an account [of their stewardship of you]. Let them do this with joy and not with grief and groans, for this would be of no benefit to you” Hebrews 13:17/Amplified. 

Note: I wrote “under a Shepherd”. Do not be a sheep without a known shepherd who can give account for your soul, in good times and challenging times. For the Church is defined as an individual, local and universal body of born-again, Spirit-filled — [Spirit-ruled and Spirit-led] — believers in God, in Christ Jesus, under a Shepherd, in grace.  

“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens [outsiders without rights of citizenship], but you are fellow citizens with the saints (God’s people), and are [members] of God’s household, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the [chief] Cornerstone” Ephesians 2:19-21. 

It is my earnest PRAYER that you find a place called THERE — the gathering of God’s people — into which you can humbly walk to worship and serve the Father God in Christ Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, through the Word, without sentiment, prejudice or dissimulation. I therefore commend you to God, and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Amen. Acts 20:32 

May God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS rest upon you as you have found yourself a place as God’s Church, in grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE” Romans 8:28. 

“Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]; 24 and let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds, 25 not FORSAKING OUR MEETING TOGETHER [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the HABIT OF SOME, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching” Hebrews 10:23-25. 

“But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24. 

Further Scriptural Reading: Psalms 16:11; Matthew 16:18-19. 

SUMMARY: 
This message of declaration is about identity, gathering, and worshiping in the Spirit . It calls believers back to the biblical understanding of the Church as people, not just a place or programme, and to the necessity of corporate fellowship for empowerment, protection, and growth. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST: THE TRUE CHURCH

You ARE God’s Church. You are born-again, spiritually transformed, set apart for His purpose. Philippians 3:3 
The Church is defined as the individual, local and universal body of born-again, Spirit-filled, Spirit-ruled and Spirit-led believers in God, in Christ Jesus, under a Shepherd, in grace. Ephesians 2:19-21 
This is a mystery concerning Christ and the Church Ephesians 5:32. Your blessedness and inheritance are SEATED in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

  1. THE PURPOSE OF GATHERING: WORSHIP AND SERVICE IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH

While church services for the gathering of God’s people are necessary, the Church itself is the gathering to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY John 4:23-24. 
This worship must be in spirit and in truth, not in religion, religiosity, sectarianism, denominational indoctrination, or dissimulation. Anything contrary to this is mere religion. 
The call is to be intentional and pragmatic to find “THERE” — the gathering of God’s precious and redeemed people of like precious faith, under a Shepherd. 

  1. THE NECESSITY AND POWER OF FELLOWSHIP

There is a need to be ALWAYS in the gathering of God’s gracious, precious and blessed people. Hebrews 10:24-25 
Why? For the inspiring, revealing and empowering of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
We are called unto the FELLOWSHIP of His Son Jesus Christ 1 Corinthians 1:9. We are not to forsake meeting together, but to encourage one another in love and good deeds, all the more as the day approaches. 
To be a LONE Church is to be vulnerable and exposed to dangers known and unknown, because the enemy seeks to make prey and victims of isolated believers. 

  1. SHEPHERDING AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Do not be a sheep without a known shepherd who can give account for your soul in good times and challenging times Hebrews 13:17. 
Spiritual leaders keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Therefore, submit to them and obey, that they may do it with joy. 
We have come to Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem, the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn registered in heaven Hebrews 12:22-24. 

  1. THE BENEDICTION: COMMENDED TO GRACE

It is the earnest prayer that you find a place to humbly walk into to worship and serve the Father God by the Holy Spirit, through the Word. 
You are commended to God, and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among the sanctified Acts 20:32. 
May God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS rest upon you as you have found yourself a place as God’s Church, in grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

In one sentence: 
This is a prophetic call to know your identity as God’s Church, to prioritise Spirit-and-truth fellowship under a Shepherd, to reject empty religion, and to be built up in grace so you walk in the BLESSEDNESS and purpose to which God has called you.

THE CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH: IT’S NOT A RELIGION! 

“Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 26 and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the DISCIPLES were CALLED CHRISTIANS FIRST in Antioch” Acts 11:25-26. 

The CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is not a RELIGION; It’s only a RELIGION to you or to a person, when the HOLY SPIRIT is not your GOVERNOR and the LEADER of your being, and you are not being built-up by God’s WORD, in doing life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“And this is the record, that God hath GIVEN to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in His Son. 12 He that HATH the Son hath LIFE; and he that HATH NOT the Son of God HATH NOT LIFE” 1 John 5:11-12. 

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast SENT” John 17:3. 

The CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH it’s of the life and person of God in Christ Jesus. When you take off CHRIST from the word CHRISTIAN you have “IAN”, meaning “I AM NOTHING”. So, what makes the Christian in his or her Christian FAITH to be of tremendous value and worth, is the experience of God’s graciousness and gracefulness, to life and godly living, in Christ Jesus within the person. In Christ Jesus, the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is a person and personality, and it’s not an idea or myth or object or any such like. 

“And how I kept BACK NOTHING that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21. 

So then, the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is of REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward the person of our Lord Christ Jesus; And by this act of faith, we ENSURE our ASSURED REDEMPTION wherein one is unveiled to the ETERNAL LIFE that’s available to any – in the realm of eternity, the timeless timeline of God. [Acts 20:20-21; John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12]. And in Christ Jesus, there’s no sectarianism and denominationalism of any kind – but the FAITH that’s working – in operative and energised, through the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. [Galatians 5:6; Galatians 3:26-29]. 

Therefore, if you do think that the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is a religion as many and dictionary had classified it like other set religions in the world, you need to rethink again and redefine your known information about divinity in the living and alive person of God in Christ Jesus [1 John 5:7; Hebrews 7:23-25; Colossians 1:27; Philippians 1:20-21; Galatians 2:20-21]. 

Be blessed in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. 28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, almost thou persuadest me to be a CHRISTIAN. 29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds” Acts 26:27-29. 

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may abide WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it SEETH him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17. 

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39. 

“But there is a spirit in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty GIVETH them understanding” Job 32:8. 

“The Spirit of God hath MADE me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN me life” Job 33:4. 

“The spirit of man is the CANDLE of the Lord, SEARCHING all the INWARD parts of the belly” Proverbs 20:27. 

“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ASK him?” Luke 11:9-13. 

“And behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED with power from on high” Luke 24:49. 

“For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence . . . 8 But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:5, 8. 

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and NOW is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father SEEKETH such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

TO MAKE A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICES TO GOD

By Leave a Comment

TO MAKE A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICES TO GOD: THIS IS BY FELLOWSHIP – IT’S WHAT ENSURES OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!

“. . . 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE worshippers shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

It’s time to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP.

“For we are the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH [Senses]” Philippians 3:3/Emphasis Mine.

It’s a gracious and graceful spirit to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY; however,  a true and genuine act of WORSHIP and SERVING is the FELLOWSHIP in Christ Jesus stead – this is what ENSURES and ENHANCES our RELATIONSHIP with the Father God in Christ Jesus by the indwelling Holy Spirit that’s given to us; and as such, we’ve been CALLED by Father God into this place of FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP with Him in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And HOPE MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

And this act of FELLOWSHIP to ensure our RELATIONSHIP with Father God is been manifested within and through our spirit being to the Father God, in the light of God’s Blessed WORD, and empowered by the indwelling working of the Holy Spirit. Amen. [1 John 4:19-24; Philippians 3:3].

By virtue of Salvation – being Born Again (born from above) – in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, we have a RELATIONSHIP with God. This RELATIONSHIP gives us ACCESS by faith to God’s nature, setting us apart as a  Holy person and people unto God; It also grants us the RIGHTS – the righteousness of Christ – enabling us to stand before Him unashamed, undaunted, guiltless, unafraid and not inferior; the resultant effect of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, is maintaining a healthy RELATIONSHIP with God. To enhance and ensure this  RELATIONSHIP, and  to THRIVE and be FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, we need to engage in FELLOWSHIP – the unhindered, conscious reverence of God –  worthily and acceptably in WORSHIP and SERVICE.

One great acts of FELLOWSHIP is to intentionally and consciously render WORSHIP and SERVICE to God in Christ Jesus stead. Worship and Service in this context – is the dedication of your triune being to God in an unhindered 24/7 channel of communication. Meaning it’s not necessarily only when you are in the acts of positioned and customised spot and such likes, but in total opening of your spirit being always and towards Father God in order to ease and have unhindered communication whenever. That’s the WORSHIP and SERVICE borne in the human spirit by the Holy Spirit, guided by  the WORD, unto God  the Father through Christ Jesus. This act of WORSHIP and SERVICE in fellowship goes beyond mere religious rituals, such as of the accustomed lifting hands and singing in praises ONLY while in a collective group gathering with a leading choir directing, wherein afterwards there’s no further room of communication until another customised statuesque.

True worship and service are borne in the human spirit by the Holy Spirit, guided by the Word, unto God the Father through Christ Jesus. This act of worship and service in fellowship goes beyond mere religious rituals, such as collective gatherings with choirs and praises, where connection with God is limited to those moments. Rather, it’s a deeper, ongoing communion with God.

The True, genuine and WORTHILY Worship and Service is you in fellowship with God with your spirit being through His WORD by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus stead, irrespective of where you are – with many or alone. It’s not about the noise or shouting but your spirit communing or in communion and in tune with the Holy Spirit unto the Father God in Christ Jesus stead by the WORD. Amen.

A SENSE of TRUE WORSHIP and SERVICE is summed as the act of welcoming, accessing and giving the heavenly permission in your earthly affairs without prejudice through your spirit being by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God. One can’t acclaim to WORSHIP and SERVE God without being a WORSHIPPER of God, guide by His WORD and empowered by the Holy Spirit in the human spirit being.

I pray that you will take on the necessary measures for you to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP AND SERVICE.

I pray that you get UNDERSTANDING. Be BLESSED in life and grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH: IT’S NOT A RELIGION!

“Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 26 and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the DISCIPLES were CALLED CHRISTIANS FIRST in Antioch” Acts 11:25-26.

The CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is not a RELIGION; It’s only a RELIGION to you or to a person, when the HOLY SPIRIT is not your GOVERNOR and the LEADER of your being through God’s WORD, in life and godly living, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And this is the record, that God hath GIVEN to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in His Son. 12 He that HATH the Son hath LIFE; and he that HATH NOT the Son of God HATH NOT LIFE” 1 John 5:11-12.

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast SENT” John 17:3.

The CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is of the life and person of God in Christ Jesus. When you take CHRIST from the word CHRISTIAN you have “IAN”, meaning “I AM NOTHING”. So what makes the CHRISTIAN in his or her CHRISTIAN FAITH to be of tremendous value and worth, and of the graciousness and gracefulness to life and living, is the Christ Jesus within the person. In Christ Jesus, the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is a person and not an idea or myth or object or any such like.

“And how I kept BACK NOTHING that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

So then, the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is of REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward the person of our Lord Christ Jesus; And by this act of faith, we ENSURE our ASSURED REDEMPTION wherein one is unveiled to the ETERNAL LIFE that’s available to any – in the realm of eternity, the timeless timeline of God. [Acts 20:20-21; John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12]. And in Christ Jesus, there’s no sectarianism and denominationalism of any kind – but the FAITH that’s working – in operative and energised, through the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. [Galatians 5:6; Galatians 3:26-29].

Therefore, if you do think that the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is a religion as many and dictionary had classified it like other set religions in the world, you need to rethink again and redefine your known information about divinity in the living and alive person of God in Christ Jesus [1 John 5:7; Hebrews 7:23-25; Colossians 1:27; Philippians 1:20-21; Galatians 2:20-21].

Be blessed in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

TO MAKE A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICES TO GOD

By Leave a Comment

TO MAKE SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICES TO GOD: THIS IS BY FELLOWSHIP – IT’S WHAT ENSURES OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!

“. . . 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE worshippers shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

It’s time to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP.

“For we are the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH [Senses]” Philippians 3:3/Emphasis Mine.

It’s a gracious and graceful spirit to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE tim ACCEPTABLY; however,  a true and genuine acts of WORSHIP and SERVING is the FELLOWSHIP in Christ Jesus stead – this is what ENSURES and ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with the Father God in Christ Jesus by the indwelling Holy Spirit that’s given to us; and as such, we’ve been CALLED by Father God into this place of FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP with Him in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And HOPE MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

And this act of FELLOWSHIP to ensure our RELATIONSHIP with Father God is been manifested within and through our spirit being to the Father God, in the light of God’s Blessed WORD, and empowered by the indwelling working of the Holy Spirit. Amen. [1 John 4:19-24; Philippians 3:3].

By virtue of Salvation – being Born Again (born from above) – in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, we have RELATIONSHIP with God. And this RELATIONSHIP gives us ACCESS by faith to and with God’s nature which sets us apart as a Holy person and people unto God; and to the RIGHTS – the righteousness of Christ – in order to stand before Him unashamed, undaunted, guiltless, unafraid and not inferior; and the resultant of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, is to having and keeping a healthy RELATIONSHIP with God; but to enhance and ensures that RELATIONSHIP, in order to THRIVE and be FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus, we need to FELLOWSHIP – the unhindered conscious reverence of God worthily and acceptably in WORSHIP and SERVICE.

One great acts of FELLOWSHIP is to intentionally and consciously render WORSHIP and SERVICE to God in Christ Jesus stead. Worship and Service in this context – is the dedication of your triune being to God in an unhindered 24/7 channel of communication. Meaning it’s not necessarily only when you are in the acts of positioned and customised spot and such likes, but in total opening of your spirit being always and towards Father God in order to ease and have unhindered communication whenever. That’s the WORSHIP and SERVICE bore in human spirit by the Holy Spirit in the light of the WORD unto God the Father in Christ Jesus stead. Also, this act of WORSHIP and SERVICE in fellowship is NOT the mere religious thinking of the accustomed lifting hands and singing in praises ONLY while in a collective group gathering with a leading choir directing, wherein afterwards there’s no further room of communication until another customised status quo.

The True, genuine and WORTHILY Worship and Service is you in fellowship with God with your spirit being through His WORD by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus stead, irrespective of where you are – with many or alone. It’s not about the noise or shouting but your spirit communing or in communion and in tune with the Holy Spirit unto the Father God in Christ Jesus stead by the WORD. Amen.

A SENSE of TRUE WORSHIP and SERVICE is sum as the act of welcoming, accessing and giving the heavenly permission in your earthly affairs without prejudice through your spirit being by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God. One can’t acclaim to WORSHIP and SERVE God and be a WORSHIPPER of God, beside His WORD and by Holy Spirit in the human spirit being.

I pray that you will take on the necessary measures for you to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP AND SERVICE.

I pray you get UNDERSTANDING. Be BLESSED in life and grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. Amen.

“Thou art WORTHY, O Lord, to RECEIVE glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they are and were created” Revelation 4:11.

THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

THE CHRISTIAN FAITH: NOT A RELIGION!

“Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 26 and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were CALLED CHRISTIANS FIRST in Antioch” Acts 11:25-26.

The Christian FAITH is only a RELIGION to you, when the HOLY SPIRIT is not your GOVERNOR and the LEADER of your being through God’s WORD, in life and godly living, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And this is the record, that God hath GIVEN to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in His Son. 12 He that HATH the Son hath LIFE; and he that HATH NOT the Son of God HATH NOT LIFE” 1 John 5:11-12.

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast SENT” John 17:3.

The Christian FAITH is of the life and person of God in Christ Jesus. When you take Christ from the word CHRISTIAN you have “IAN”, meaning “I AM NOTHING”. So what makes the CHRISTIAN in his or her Christian FAITH to be of tremendous value and worth, of the graciousnesss and gracefulness to life and living, is the in Christ Jesus within. In Christ Jesus, the Christian FAITH is a person and not an idea or myth or object or any such like.

“And how I kept BACK NOTHING that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

So then, the Christian FAITH is of REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward the person of our Lord Christ Jesus; And by this act of faith, we ensure our ASSURED REDEMPTION wherein one is unveiled to the ETERNAL LIFE that’s available to any – in the realm of eternity, the timeless timeline of God. [Acts 20:20-21; John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12]. And in Christ Jesus, there’s no sectarianism and denominationalism of any kind – but faith working through the love of God in Christ Jesus stead. [Galatians 5:6; Galatians 3:26-29].

Selah 5 BLESSED is the man whose STRENGTH is in You, Whose HEART is set on PILGRIMAGE. 6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools. 7 THEY GO FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH; EACH ONE APPEARS BEFORE GOD IN ZION. 8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah 9 O God, behold our shield, And look upon the face of Your anointed. 10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; NO GOOD THING WILL HE WITHHOLD FROM THOSE WHO WALK UPRIGHTLY.  12 O Lord of hosts, BLESSED is the man who trusts in You!” Psalm 84
