Are you a fully functioning part of the Church?




Ephesians 4: 16 ESV “from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.”

When last have you attended church? When Sunday morning comes along are you up and ready for church or do you pull the covers over your head? I wake up early and start rolling around and then I just jump out of bed and get ready for church. I love attending church services as I want to grow spiritually and I want to hear what God has for me that day. 

I love teaching and when the Pastor is a teacher I seem to thrive on the sermons. I think about one of the services I attended, I was so taken in with the message I complete forgot about time. Then there are times when I just keep on watching to see what time it is. 

Now are you fully functioning as a part of your church? Do you realize that the church is paralyzed when you aren’t there? Each of us has a roll to play in the church and don’t forget you are “the church”.  Looking at 1 Corinthians 12 verse 12 we see “One Body with many members – for just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.” Continue in verse 18 “But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each of them, as he chose.”

Come to church and grow spiritually, you don’t know when God is going to send Jesus back for us.  I believe if you aren’t attending church you risk the chance of missing your calling. 

If you are absent we suffer because of your absence and our numbers dwindle and you are missed.

Prayer

Lord bless each person today reading this message, Lord we need people to return to church and we are calling them back. They need to be fed and the best way is to attend church services and from there they grow and become stronger. Bless each person in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
