INDICATORS THAT YOU NEED A NEW CHURCH

It is not a sin to change church provided you are still in Christ. In fact you will likely fall into sin if you are worshipping in the wrong church.

Consider these things:

1. Lack of spiritual growth and drive.

When your spirit man is not been fed in word and worship, you need to move before you starve. If you are living in sin and sitting comfortably in church, you need a new church. If you are not challenged to conquer more land for Christ, you need to move on with haste.

2. Lack of opportunity to work.

Church attendance is good but it is elementary in the plan of God. God is looking for labourers not bench warmers. If you cannot seem to find grace to be attively involved in the work of the ministry, then you need to move. There are no credits for idleness, everyman must get involved.

3. Lack of restraint from church politics.

There are some people whose tables are the center of church affairs. Such people know everything about everything and everyone; in fact every disagreement starts and ends in their presence. If you are in this category, then you need to RUN for your life.

4. Lack of faith in the leadership.

If you don't believe in your pastor or have reservations about his calling, then don't waste your time and efforts - move! Your pastor is the principal human messenger of God to you. If you doubt the messenger, you cannot believe the message. If you believe the message, it cannot work for you.

5. Lack of personal development.

Church is for all round development. Don't become heavenly conscious and earthly useless. If you take stock of your life and can't identify substantial progress and personal achievement even after working confidently in the teachings then you need a new church.

P.S. God has a specific place for you. If things are not working where God has destined you to be, there is work for you to do. Don't move without hearing from God, stay and work if He asks you to stay. Don't go where God did not send you. STAY WHERE GOD HAS PUT YOU!

IF WE MUST BOAST

If we must boast, let us boast of the mercies of the LORD. Two students attend lectures and put in the same level of preparation; one scores an “A” and the other a “C”. Many explanations can be available, but when we hold all other things constant, mercy is the difference between men. I have written an exam before where I prepared diligently but got into the exam hall and misinterpreted the questions, writing the exact opposite of what was expected. After the exam, I had only one prayer: God, have mercy! In Acts 13, Paul and some other prophets separated themselves to fast and pray. Mercy spoke, and Paul and Barnabas were called into a special assignment. Were they better or more diligent than the others who were not called into that particular assignment? I don’t think so. Apostle Paul later told us that everything he did was a result of the grace of God. God’s mercy and grace are what enable us to achieve any kind of result in life. Let’s be careful how we think. Let’s be careful how...

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU COUNT MONEY?

Recently, I had to make a lot of cash lodgments at the bank, and I proceeded to arrange and count the notes. I counted the various currency notes like three times and sorted them accordingly. When I got to the bank, the teller went to work, and I wasn’t surprised that the count was perfectly correct. The confidence was because I had double-checked the notes; the margin for error was very slim. In our Christian walk, we mustn’t be overly bold about our right standing in Christ if we haven’t examined ourselves again and again. 2 Cor. 13:5b says, “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves…” Test yourself! Are you standing, or are you just thinking that you are standing? When I counted the money the first time, I could have stopped, but I needed the certainty. I know that I am born again, but I need to examine my heart: is there something hidden there that shouldn’t be there? Once, I was speaking to a group of people, and the manner of my speech wasn’t in confo...

2025: A LANDMARK YEAR

Happy New Year! Welcome to a Landmark Year. By prophecy, by decree, and by the WORD OF GOD, this year is a landmark year. Get set to have landmark encounters with the LORD. There shall be landmark testimonies in our walk with the LORD and in the results that will show forth in our lives as a result of Christ in us. The promise of God is to reveal His mysteries to the world through us. We are engraced to carry hope, salvation, strength, and glory to the world. Colossians 1:27 says, " To them God willed to make known what are  the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles:  which is  Christ in you,  the hope of glory." This year, Christ will be revealed in us and shine to all the world.
