If saying I read, they devoted themselves to their apostles,
teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and
to prayer.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Everyone was filled.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
With away are today many wonders and signs performed.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
By day a postal all the believers together and all
the believers, that's forty four. All the believers were together.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And had everything in common, the sole property and position
to give to anyone who had need. Every day they
continue to meet together in the temple. In the temple court,
they break They broke braid in their homes and it
(01:57):
together with glass and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoining
the favor all all the people and the Lord added
to their number daily. Those who we are being safe,
(02:18):
praise the Lord, Praise Massa Jesus. And the topic before
us is commitment to the fellowship of believers. Commitment to
the fellowship of believers. And then we have serious that
(02:38):
we're undergoing as from that last week, I think we
discuss about the church. We discuss about the church, You
and the church, You and the church we dwell on.
Part of it is last week, and then the series
is you and the Church. You and the church. Physically,
(03:05):
you and the church are inseparable link with the church
being the body of Christ and being a verter or
important part of the body. So as a child of God,
you represent a church. As a child of God, you
(03:27):
represent the day that you give your life to Jesus Christ.
It means that word you are now a church. So
you represent a church. And there is nothing that have
been linked in that family of what of the Body
of Christ you have been linked. The church is not
(03:56):
a building, but as spiritual as of believers who are
called to be a living expression or Christ on earth,
true love, service and fellowship. So we have been called
towards to express word to a living expression of Christ
(04:23):
on earth as a church. As a believer, you have
been called because we are being referred to as a church.
So we are not only talking about the physical structure
that we are seeing, but an individual represents a church.
As long as you belongs to the family of Christ,
as long as you have accepted Christ as you are
(04:45):
a lot and savior, you are also worth a church
and a church that will have to go through God
to show love. A church that as the mindset of service,
a church that has a mindset of fellowship. So we
(05:05):
are the church as you are cited as I am standing,
I am a church. We should be always thinking only
for Shiloh. We ourself. We are ward, We are church career.
So wherever we go we should showcase that we are ward.
We are church carrier. Praise the Lord, you as a
(05:30):
part of the church. You as a part of the church,
because we should not forget that what we are the
vital part of what of that body. We are the
vital part of that body. Though we are many, but
in one body. So we supposed to play our word,
(05:51):
our role. We're supposed to play our role so a
member of the body of Christ. The Word of God
is tribe the church as a single body with many parts,
a single body, but with many parts. Just like the
previous speaker of last week. He talks about the hand,
(06:14):
he talks about the eye, he talk about the ear,
he talk about the Everyone has its own particular function
to word to play. Everyone, every part has its own
particular function part to play. That is, the hand cannot
say I'm not the leg, so I won't do my
(06:34):
own work. No, the leg to say I am not
the hand, I won't do my own But collectively, we're
supposed to do what we're supposed to come together to
do what to do that which is called for us
to do as a member of this body. As the
member of this body, So each of us, as a believer,
(06:57):
we are very very essential. We are very very essential.
We are called to do our service. We are called
to do that which has been called upon because God
has as long as we have given ourselves, we submit
ourselves God world. We give us that enlevelment because it
(07:17):
is not on our own that we'll be able to
do it. But God will enrichere with his gifts. And
it has numerous gift that He gave onto each and other,
and of us. The hand cannot play the part of
the function of the lake, nor the ears to play
the function of the eye, nor the eye to play
the function of the eye the ear.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
But all of.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Us, if we join hands together, then the body will
now stand. And I pray that the Lord will so
help us to so do that.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
In Jesus' name.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Then you as part of the church, part of the church,
part of a spiritual family, because we have been at
the adopted into God's family.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You're being a Christian. You are being adopted.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Into what into God's family, the church, where you are
bound to each other.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
As a church, we are bound to each other.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The problem of Master A should become the problem of
Messus B. The problem the problem of Master Z should
become the problem of Master W. So that we go together,
so that that unity and where we are afraid. He
told us about that, so that we can help other,
(08:38):
So that we can we can encourage one another when
the other is falling. They said, two irons sharpen each other,
because when the other is falling, the oil will be
there to do work to help live the other one.
So if one is falling, it means the person will
fall definitely and to the rights of it will become
(09:01):
a problem. But if all of us collectively will be
for one another, then it means we'll all be standing
and in standing to do the needful, in standing to
do the writing, in standing to do what to do
that which the Lord has called us to do. And
I pray that the Lord will help us to so
do that in Jesus name. And another thing is a
(09:24):
living stone. As a church, you, as a part of
the church, You are a living stone in God's spiritual house.
You are part of a spiritual temple, a dwelling place
for God's spirits. We are believers, are built together for
(09:46):
a holy place in the Lord. So a word a
living stone. We are a living stone in the body
of Christ. We are a living stone in the body
of Christ. We are believers our word. We are referred
to the temple of the Living God.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Abe. We are the.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Spirit of God dwell And if there's a need for
us to work to keep that going so that what
we will not temper with it. Because as long as
we have accepted Him as our Lord and Savior, will
become that temple which the Holy Spirit needs to dwell
in us. And when the living spirits dwell the Holy
(10:26):
Spirit dwelling us, we begin to do those things that
the early Church we are doing. But if they're living
the Holy Spirit, it is not in us. Then is
the opposite of it. So I pray that the Lord
will help us. I will actually know.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Who we are.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Who we are because we have been blessed. We have
been blessed as His children, as Christian we have been
blessed because we have a God that is backing us
wherever we go. The meaning of you the church meaning
for you. The church means for you a place of
(11:07):
fellowship and union. The church is the place we are
believers have common union with God and with each other,
which is very important in Christian life. In Christ, there's
no seniority. We are all equal before Him.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
We are all equal before Him.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
So we should not say this one is this the
other one is that known in Him.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
We are all equal.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So we are all common in union so and world,
and we are very very important before Him. So a
source of spiritual growth. The church is a source of
spiritual growth. So and that is why we need we
need to word to be serious. We need to gather
(12:04):
when the time cause us for us to gather. It's
not like someone will come today tomorrow you know where
to be found, or maybe it's just Sunday Sunday Tunay.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
As a church, since you're a church, you should work.
You should happen to that voice. If all of us
we agree that on a particular day we're supposed to
gather to do what to call on God. We're supposed
to gather to study the word of God. We're supposed
to gather to do one thing or the order we
(12:37):
should agree to do, to be dear so that we
will actually represent that church that we have been called
to be. Who will actually represent that church that we
have called to be? And we will all grow in
our faith. Because you alone, you cannot encourage yourself.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You are alone.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
There are sometimes you read some passages of the Bible,
but you don't even understand best Send Us two is there.
You have various beautiful topics for Senday school, as you're
supposed to be here to learn where you need to
understand the more so you cannot just stay only at
home and say, oh, because I have submitted myself to
(13:20):
accept Jesus Christ as my Lord, save you. So stay
at home only myself. No, you need to come because
the gathering it is very very important for you to
come so that words, so that you will sharpen yourself
the more because staying alone you cannot nob ist of knowledge,
(13:41):
no monopoly of knowledge. You have everything at the tip
of your finger. No, you learn from each other. We
learn from each other. So as a church wish your world,
we should submit so that word will have that because
the church is a source of word, has reach, child grows.
So without you participating, without you coming, it means that
(14:05):
word you will not grow.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
And then in.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Doing that you will learn on how to love, because
you cannot stay only you at home or stay somewhere
only you yourself to know how to love better. As
you come, you see how others express their love to
orders to one another. Then from there you will pick
one or two things that will help you to begin
(14:29):
to laugh, even if you don't have that because of
your coming, will make you to do what to develop
that spirit of loving and another and also have to serve.
Maybe true you're coming for your spiritual growth. It will
help you to word, to know how to serve others,
(14:49):
to know how to serve others and to encourage one another,
just as a churche. So I pray that the Lord
will help us in Jesus' name. It is a place
of accountability and service. It is a place of accountability
and service. You are called to hold each other accountable
(15:13):
and be accountable. So we are called to work to
hold each other accountable or be accountable. You cannot be
accountable for another person. If all of us will be around,
it will be together.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
As a church.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
We agree that, yes, in Shiloh, we want to serve God.
In Shiloh, we have agreed that. So so time we
are coming for this particular activity. So so time, if
maybe paradventure you discover that your sister or your brother
is not you can put a call. That is it
means you are accountable for that person and another person.
(15:52):
On so doing, somebody will be there too to help you.
Somebody will be there too to be accountable for you.
And I prayed that the lot to help us in
Jesus' name. Praise the Lord, Praise massa Jesus.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So also, a church.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Is a mission to the world, because the Bible tells
us in marchil chapter twenty eight, verse nineteen verse eighteen
nineteen to twenty. He said we should go I there
for and make disciple of all nations.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You know, say that it's.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Only the person, but as believers, as children of God,
as Christian, we should go Ida for to make God,
to make disciples of all nation. So it's an ass
simon place you're being called as what as the.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Children of God.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's not only Sunday Sunday service, but it should be
our daily activities, our daily life activities to work to
see that we bring in souls to the kingdom. Because
it's someone that has left its comfort zone to meet
you to where you are today. So you likewise we
(17:13):
should we should do what we should do same because
the assignment has been given on to us. The songwriters say,
will I go before God with an empty handed? Will
I go before God with an empty handed? As a church,
we are not We are not supposed to. But we
need to get someone that will be at our back
(17:35):
when you turn and you see your brothers and sisters,
all some that will testify that day and say ah
because of missus card, because of Missus B, because missus A,
and so far that I am here. Oh, maybe our
portion in Jesus name, maybe the portion of everyone of
us in Jesus' name, And that is why we are
(17:57):
called to be Christ highed. We are called to be
Christ hands as the church we are called because each
and over and fors is a church. So we are
called to be Christ hand. We are called to be
Christ fit. We here on earth we are called to
(18:19):
be Christ fit. We are called to be Christ's voice
where we will speak, where we will tell others in
our place of work, in our home, wherever we find
ourselves in our community. We should be what we should be,
people that will share the word of God. And I
pray that the Lord will help us to so do
(18:39):
that in Jesus name. Then back then to our our
texts for the day. A text of her today he
talks about devoted. They devoted themselves to the Acosol teaching.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
That is the commitment or.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
That is the topic of today, commitment to fellowship of believers,
commitment to fellowship of Believers. So it talks about what
it talks about devoted they devoted that it is in
verse two, in verse forty two, they devoted themselves to
their appost, to teaching, to fellowship and to breaking breid
(19:31):
and prayers. So the early Church, they are always in
the church, the early Church of them, they are always
in the church and being in the church because the
Simon says, I'm always glad when they say we should
go to word to the century of the Lord, because
in the century of the Lord, there is bound, there
(19:53):
is what, there is deliverance, there are good things found
in the century of the Lord.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
These speakle.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
They devoted themselves to the teaching. They obey the teaching
of the disciples, so as they give their lives to Christ.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
They are always what.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
They are always in the presence of what of believers,
so that what so that they can hear the word
of God and put the word of God into what
into practice.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's not if some of us today.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Will be here prayer meeting off tomorrow none of us
will be here, maybe just few people. We are seated
in good number. But come tomorrow and see the numbers
that will be here for prayer, for prayer band, you
will see just few people. What about the church? Have
(20:45):
we neglected or have we forgotten that we are the church?
Or are we neglecting the building, the structure, coming to
join and together, coming together because they devote themselves to God,
to the teacher of the the received from war from
the postal. So they devote themselves. So I prayed that
(21:08):
a lot will help us to so do that. In
Seso's name, everyone was failed away m we are failed
with what with away, because of what, because of that
which is happening in their means, because of that which
is happening, we are failed with away. At day many
(21:31):
wonders and science performed by the a postal. So we
likewise we are world. We are the apostle of disease.
If all of us, if some of us we will
sincerely genuinely submit ourselves to join air prayer band will
begin to break.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yok. We're beginning to move mountains, we begin to do things.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Miracles, wonders will begin to happen in our life. But
it's just that we don't even have the time. Some
of us will be thinking of our work. We'll be
thinking of our business, We'll be thinking of wanting or
the other that cannot even help. But because if actually
we will be in the presence of God, we will pray,
(22:17):
we join the band and do the needful, we will
see things begin to happen. Just as it happened in
the early church and forty four. All the believers we
are together.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
And hide everything in common. There we are together, there
we are learning.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Mister A will bring his own suggestion, Mister B will
bring his own ideas, Mister C will bring his own ideas,
And that is out.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
There will be learning.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
They will learn from this one Ah. This one has
the spirit or the gift of this. The other one
has the gift of that. From there you can discover
your own. But today they are in church. You will
know we are to be found. They are in a
prayer meeting, There are women program, they are in other activities.
(23:06):
You are notware to be fun. How would you be
able to stand as a church? How would we be
able to stand? But the people of all they always
come together. They always come together to realize or to
discover many things. They are all together in one in
and have things in common. So if we'll be here together,
(23:31):
we learn what's being taught. Maybe from the Center school,
you learn how to take care of your family, You
learn how to take care of your neighbor, you know
how to take care of other things.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
By the time you go back you.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Begin to exhibit those things because a former pastor reverend
will always say that if you're a driver, you know
how to drive. You can a display that in filling stations.
You only display that out start outside the feeling station.
By the time you take your foard, you go out
and drive, that is when they will know that, yes,
(24:07):
this one is a driver. So I pray that God
to herp us to make use of this opportunity to
do the need.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
For him Jesus' name. Amen.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
They sold property and possession to give to anyone who
hurt needs. You can see their life, their lifestyle. They
sold their property to give to those who have need.
You cannot be at home. Well you have needs, abe,
because those that are in their miss that has needs,
(24:43):
they are always together with them, so they can easily
identify that this sister sold she is in.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Need of this. If it is shoe, maybe you have been.
We are in the same shoe every.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Now and then when they are coming for fellowship, and
you are always we are in the same shoe. By
the time you come today, you'll come tomorrow. Somebody will
see that this sister needed shoe. That person will do word,
will go and get a shoe for you. But you
are at tom and you expect somebody to get that
shoe for you.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
It won't be possible.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
But if you come the people that are within, they
will identify that, yes, this sister is surely in need,
or this brother is surely in need.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
It could be maybe you are not working. But by
the time you come to.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Church, and then they identify that this one is not working. Somebody,
God would somebody may be dear that it has opportunity
to fix you somewhere.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You can do that.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
But you are at hom and you are complaining that
I cannot come to church.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Be that church. Start from you and me to be
that church. To be that church, and will see our
life begin to flourish.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
We will see our life begin to do exployd to
the glory of God.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
And I prayed that the Lord will help us in
Jesus' name. So every day's verse forty six.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Every day they continue to meet together in the temple court,
they break breaks in their homes, eat together with glad,
and sincere heart, they eat together with glad and sincere heart.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
We used to do love fee abbely as a church.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
If actually we have been coming together, we have understanding ourselves.
We have seen reason to love ourself, to serve others,
to do all the activities that he has been called
for as a church. By the time we're going for
love feest, we begin to eat without bordering whether this
(26:57):
one has it or not, because it is it is
going to be in abandance.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
It's going to be in abandance.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And we eat will love because they eat with what
with sincerity of heart, They eat with gladness because they
have understand each other. They have understand each of just
like a family. They become like more or less a family.
They are so tight, so united, the unity of it
(27:28):
has already been built in them.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
The house and eat without any issue of what house relationship?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
How many people will you see to the point that
some of what we say are because the other persons
is not coming to my house, so I will not
go to his house.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
What is that.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
The other one is not coming to my house, I
won't go to his house. And we have been little
little grudges between ourself. Please we should wake up, sheiloh,
we should wake up to our responsibility. Let our house
fellowship be burning with fire. Now, let our house of
(28:21):
fellowship be what be a place that people will be
yelling that late Friday. Come as we finish this Friday,
will be pray for another Friday.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Let our words coming for our prayer meeting meet big service.
Be word be so serious.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
That we want to come and learn something from all
our master, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lord
has something.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
For me special that I need to be there.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Some of us, I used to shake my head when
I wake up in the morning, run the kitchen, come back,
do that before you know.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
When time is first auction, I'll be picking my bag
so that I will join Stargus. So i world, I
will go to work on place.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
What about coming to where you will meet the owner
har the owner of the universe. Do we actually have
that at the back of our mind that I'm coming
to meet the most, the most, the most, the most
important person in my life. I pray that the Lord
(29:35):
to help us, the Lord to herpos to do the
need for him Jesus name. So they come together and
they eat together with sincerity of heart. Whatever is presented
before them, they eat it joyfully, not as some of
us who say this food is from the northern side
and this one is from the other side.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
We begin to make selection.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
You don't know how the person maybe has spelled or
maybe she ha made have denied herself to prepare the
special dish.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
But we begin to make complain.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I prayed that the Lord to Heppa, so that we
will see ourself as that church. And we begin to
respect each other, and we begin to carry the body
of each other, and we begin to love each other,
and we begin to serve each other, and we begin
to do things that will actually shows that, yes, indeed,
(30:31):
this is the Church of God.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
And I prayed that the Lord to Heppa.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Since Jesus then praising God and enjoying the favor of
all the people, and the Lord added to their numbers
daily those who we are being saved. Hmmm, the Lord
added to their numbers those who are ward, who are
being safe, those who are being safe.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I say Church, Am I bringing souls to Christ? As
say church?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Because the people of all the early believers the word,
they praise God, they enjoying the favor of all.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Are we enjoying the favor of all by doing the needful?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Because if we do the needful, we're enjoying the favor
of all the people around us. Because if mister A
knows his stand where he belonged. He would definitely love
the other. He will definitely do the writing to the other.
You will definitely do that which is called for. But
(31:44):
the problem is that we don't even know where we belong.
We don't even know our stand. Because we are the
representative of God. We are the Church, the temple of
the Living God. We are the Holy Spirit. If actually
the Holy Spirit was, then we will do that which
(32:04):
is cow for. And I pray that the Lord to
help us Inesu's name. The biblical example of commitment to
a fellowship of believers in Acts of Opposite Chapter two,
Chapter two of verse forty two, which talks about the
(32:24):
early church devotion to teaching, fellowship and prayers. They devote
themselves to the teaching of their apperson and words and
prayers because it is in the house of God. It
is when we come. We agree that we are going
to do this. We agree that today is meet with prayer.
(32:47):
We agree that today because some of us we even
make suggestions that are I can remember when we started,
when our daddy come, it came newly. We start, we
talk about send the school because the turn up is
very poor. So we now decide we agree that okay,
we are going to do it after service.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
After the service, then will continue from that.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
From even those that raise their hands when we are
doing the election, they raise their hands, but give them
just how many Sunday they disappear, and then again another
complaint come that are during at that time, it's not
allowing us to come and maybe oh, he's taking over
(33:36):
our time, much of our time. We're now shifted to Okay,
we'll start by it and then we continue.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
With the rest of the service.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Some of us we will raise our hands, but today
our names as being at the back, we will not
be seeing them masself coming for that agreement that we
have agreed and in this house of God and you
are that temple of the living Spirit.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
That was in you.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
So it means we have life because we raise our
hands that yes we agree that, yes, we are going
to do that. And today how many if you come
for a Sunday school, we'll see just how many number
you come to the men's section, how many members you
come to women come to the youth. You just see
(34:27):
the figure. It's not tend to write home about we
are the church.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
We are the church. We should go.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Back and begin to demonstrate the attitude of the early Church,
the early Church in that Book of Arts, chapter two.
If you go home, you read even the whole chapter
of it, you will understand the more why they become
(34:57):
so tired, why they become so together, because they agree that, yes.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
On this we stand.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
On this, we stand and in the works for them.
And I know if Sheila will agree, it will work
for us and my God Apple. Since ESA's name in
Hebrews chapter ten, verse twenty.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Four to twenty five.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Hebrews ten, twenty four, that's the example of commitment to fellowship.
Commitment to fellowship. We go to Hebrew chapter Hebrew chapter ten,
verse twenty four to twenty five, and let us consider
(35:43):
how we may share up one another to love our
good deeds. Yes, we should showcase our world the spirit
of love, loving one another.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
By our also by our good deeds.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
So as a church, you have to represent that you
be a lovable person, a person that we want to embrace,
a person that we want to assist, a person that
we want toward to showcase is or her good deeds,
not the other way round. So I prayed that the
Lord will her person do that in Jesus' name than
(36:26):
verse twenty five says not giving up meeting together as
some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
And all the more.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
As you see the day approaching. Yes, because we are
running a race. We are running a race that all
of us collectively that at the end of the day
we all meet at the feet of Who, at the
feith of Jesus Christ. So it's a race that we
are running. As we come together, we begin to encourage
(37:03):
one another. We begin to tell each one another that
see how to run this race. You cannot run this
race alone. But as you are running, too, you will
be praying for others to so that there will work,
they will succeed, so that they too will be You
will see them at the end of the turner. And
(37:23):
I prayed that the Lord will help us in Jesus' name.
This passage encourage us not giving up on meeting with
other believers, that is coming to God, to activities. Just
as I have said, we have prayer, meeting, we have bibles.
(37:45):
After we pray, then we have our bible study. We
are you know you.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Study the world of God. We are.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
You can even have time to ask questions and answer
will be given. To you, not like this one standing
and then some one person will just pray and you go.
Maybe you have a question that you want to bet
the opportunities not their better to be in the Bible study.
You have the time toward to ask questions and the
(38:11):
answer will be given. And I pray that the lot
will help us in Jesus' name. Then Galicians chapter six,
verse two, carry each other body and in this in
this way you will fulfill the law of Christ, which
include the commitment of helping and supporting one another in
(38:36):
times of difficulties, in terms of difficulty, carrying one another body.
As we are together, the people of all, as they
are together, we now know the needs. We now know
what is happening with Master A. Just like this Armam Tughter,
(39:01):
she too, You know Mama anytime she's okay, she will
always be in church. Mama will even come my dands
earlier than some of us at her own age. She
will come on time. She will even participate in Sunday school.
But when Mamma is not, we are we have not
(39:21):
been seen Mama. That is where we begin to ask her,
where is Mama? But not even Mama has not been coming.
Maybe too longer time before you see her, you just
say okay, maybe it's the way that he used to be.
You will even bother to say okay, I will ask
where is mamma? But because Mama used to DeVore our time,
(39:44):
used to come toward to observe their activities. And that
is why people begin to ask her, what about Mama?
What about to the point of what arranging some people
to go and visit mama because Mama has been down
with her health challenge.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
So but for someone for us.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
You take two weeks, three weeks, that is just the
Sunday Sunday on. But if you talk of when it's
their activities, you talk of prayer band, you talk of
any other activities, there are nowhere to be found there
Sunday one.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Two. Some will take two weeks, three weeks, they won't
be around.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
So whatever that's happened, nobody will them because it has
become a use.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
That's how it is, That's how she is, that's how
he is. And no call will be placed and then
they will start grumbling the next thing at this charge.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
They don't care that one. They don't do this, they
don't do that.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Ha ha are the spirit that they will know that
some person or something is happening, but they'll come together.
They are always together, and that is why they begin
to know. Ah the area to support them, the area
that they need help, and help begin to come. Because
they told us that they sold their property and bring
(41:13):
in the money and bring in it could be fulls
off that they need. Somebody will say he is part
of his property and go and buy it fullst off.
They begin to share and everybody will go home rejoicing.
Everybodybody will go home.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Feel at home.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Praise the Lord, Praise Master Jesus. The Lord is faithful.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
You can see.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Another one in efficiency in first John chapter one, verse
six to seven. If we say we have fellowship with him,
yet work in darkness, will lie and do not practice
the truth, because our God is truth. If we walk,
(42:04):
If actually we have been called as His children and
we still work in darkness, it means we are not
what we are not working in the right part. It
means we are what we have life because in the
first instant we have said bye bye to what the darkness.
Add we have joined into the family of light, which
(42:26):
Christ is the light. So we have joined into that family,
and today again they see us still going back.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
To that darkness.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
It means we have first we have led to the truth.
We are not standing in that truth. So may God
help us in Jesus' name. But if we walk in
the light, as He is the light, we have fellowship
with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his son,
(42:55):
has cleansed us from all sin. Praise the Lord. Praise
the Lord. Then we can look we see another one.
In John chapter thirteen, verse thirty five, John toteen thirty five.
By this, all people will know that you are my disciple.
(43:16):
If you have, if you have love for one another,
that and as cover all the commandment of God. It
has covered love. Love has covered everything. So it will
show us that. Yes, indeed, if we belong to the
family of Christ, if we belong, we are actually Christian.
(43:40):
That has been called. It means we'll begin to work
to show love for one another. And I pray that
even as we go, the Lord will help us to
so do that in Jesus' name. Conclusion, Romance, chapter twelvers ten.
Be devoted to one another in love, honor one another,
(44:02):
a both yourself, which encourages believers to show broaderly love
and to.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
And our do.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Show okay to our doo one another, showing honor, valuing
other more than yourself. Prayed that the Lord to help
us to value others, to honor others, to love others
even more than our said, because that is the Bible
say the trick.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
The time commandment is summarizing too.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with
all your minds. And then it tells us to love
our word our neighbors as we love our saf So.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
God help us to so do that. In Jesus name,
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
And prayers our heavenly Father, the King of Kings, the
Lord of Lord, Jehovah, Jerry Jehovah, Shamer Jehovah is shudder.
Bless you, Daddy, Thank you Father for your world that
has gone out. I prayed at every heart that need
to be pierced before your word to penetrate. I prayed
(45:17):
the Lord, we ap pierce that heart and let your
word have a place in that heart.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
In Jesus' name.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
In this week, Father Lord, heppus to showcase as safe
as being the true Church, if actually we have not
been doing that, Father Lord, from now Hence for father
heppas to so do that. Lord in Jesus' name, we
have done wrongly. I asks for messy. Let your messy

(00:24):
We are reading the Book of Acts, chapter two, verse
forty two to forty seven.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
That's post chapter.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Two, Acts of Apostle, Chapter two, from verse forty forty
two too.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
To forty seven.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
If saying I read, they devoted themselves to their apostles,
teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and
to prayer.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Everyone was filled.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
With away are today many wonders and signs performed.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
By day a postal all the believers together and all
the believers, that's forty four. All the believers were together.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And had everything in common, the sole property and position
to give to anyone who had need. Every day they
continue to meet together in the temple. In the temple court,
they break They broke braid in their homes and it
(01:57):
together with glass and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoining
the favor all all the people and the Lord added
to their number daily. Those who we are being safe,
(02:18):
praise the Lord, Praise Massa Jesus. And the topic before
us is commitment to the fellowship of believers. Commitment to
the fellowship of believers. And then we have serious that
(02:38):
we're undergoing as from that last week, I think we
discuss about the church. We discuss about the church, You
and the church, You and the church we dwell on.
Part of it is last week, and then the series
is you and the Church. You and the church. Physically,
(03:05):
you and the church are inseparable link with the church
being the body of Christ and being a verter or
important part of the body. So as a child of God,
you represent a church. As a child of God, you
(03:27):
represent the day that you give your life to Jesus Christ.
It means that word you are now a church. So
you represent a church. And there is nothing that have
been linked in that family of what of the Body
of Christ you have been linked. The church is not
(03:56):
a building, but as spiritual as of believers who are
called to be a living expression or Christ on earth,
true love, service and fellowship. So we have been called
towards to express word to a living expression of Christ
(04:23):
on earth as a church. As a believer, you have
been called because we are being referred to as a church.
So we are not only talking about the physical structure
that we are seeing, but an individual represents a church.
As long as you belongs to the family of Christ,
as long as you have accepted Christ as you are
(04:45):
a lot and savior, you are also worth a church
and a church that will have to go through God
to show love. A church that as the mindset of service,
a church that has a mindset of fellowship. So we
(05:05):
are the church as you are cited as I am standing,
I am a church. We should be always thinking only
for Shiloh. We ourself. We are ward, We are church career.
So wherever we go we should showcase that we are ward.
We are church carrier. Praise the Lord, you as a
(05:30):
part of the church. You as a part of the church,
because we should not forget that what we are the
vital part of what of that body. We are the
vital part of that body. Though we are many, but
in one body. So we supposed to play our word,
(05:51):
our role. We're supposed to play our role so a
member of the body of Christ. The Word of God
is tribe the church as a single body with many parts,
a single body, but with many parts. Just like the
previous speaker of last week. He talks about the hand,
(06:14):
he talks about the eye, he talk about the ear,
he talk about the Everyone has its own particular function
to word to play. Everyone, every part has its own
particular function part to play. That is, the hand cannot
say I'm not the leg, so I won't do my
(06:34):
own work. No, the leg to say I am not
the hand, I won't do my own But collectively, we're
supposed to do what we're supposed to come together to
do what to do that which is called for us
to do as a member of this body. As the
member of this body, So each of us, as a believer,
(06:57):
we are very very essential. We are very very essential.
We are called to do our service. We are called
to do that which has been called upon because God
has as long as we have given ourselves, we submit
ourselves God world. We give us that enlevelment because it
(07:17):
is not on our own that we'll be able to
do it. But God will enrichere with his gifts. And
it has numerous gift that He gave onto each and other,
and of us. The hand cannot play the part of
the function of the lake, nor the ears to play
the function of the eye, nor the eye to play
the function of the eye the ear.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
But all of.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Us, if we join hands together, then the body will
now stand. And I pray that the Lord will so
help us to so do that.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
In Jesus' name.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Then you as part of the church, part of the church,
part of a spiritual family, because we have been at
the adopted into God's family.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You're being a Christian. You are being adopted.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Into what into God's family, the church, where you are
bound to each other.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
As a church, we are bound to each other.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The problem of Master A should become the problem of
Messus B. The problem the problem of Master Z should
become the problem of Master W. So that we go together,
so that that unity and where we are afraid. He
told us about that, so that we can help other,
(08:38):
So that we can we can encourage one another when
the other is falling. They said, two irons sharpen each other,
because when the other is falling, the oil will be
there to do work to help live the other one.
So if one is falling, it means the person will
fall definitely and to the rights of it will become
(09:01):
a problem. But if all of us collectively will be
for one another, then it means we'll all be standing
and in standing to do the needful, in standing to
do the writing, in standing to do what to do
that which the Lord has called us to do. And
I pray that the Lord will help us to so
do that in Jesus name. And another thing is a
(09:24):
living stone. As a church, you, as a part of
the church, You are a living stone in God's spiritual house.
You are part of a spiritual temple, a dwelling place
for God's spirits. We are believers, are built together for
(09:46):
a holy place in the Lord. So a word a
living stone. We are a living stone in the body
of Christ. We are a living stone in the body
of Christ. We are believers our word. We are referred
to the temple of the Living God.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Abe. We are the.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Spirit of God dwell And if there's a need for
us to work to keep that going so that what
we will not temper with it. Because as long as
we have accepted Him as our Lord and Savior, will
become that temple which the Holy Spirit needs to dwell
in us. And when the living spirits dwell the Holy
(10:26):
Spirit dwelling us, we begin to do those things that
the early Church we are doing. But if they're living
the Holy Spirit, it is not in us. Then is
the opposite of it. So I pray that the Lord
will help us. I will actually know.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Who we are.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Who we are because we have been blessed. We have
been blessed as His children, as Christian we have been
blessed because we have a God that is backing us
wherever we go. The meaning of you the church meaning
for you. The church means for you a place of
(11:07):
fellowship and union. The church is the place we are
believers have common union with God and with each other,
which is very important in Christian life. In Christ, there's
no seniority. We are all equal before Him.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
We are all equal before Him.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
So we should not say this one is this the
other one is that known in Him.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
We are all equal.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So we are all common in union so and world,
and we are very very important before Him. So a
source of spiritual growth. The church is a source of
spiritual growth. So and that is why we need we
need to word to be serious. We need to gather
(12:04):
when the time cause us for us to gather. It's
not like someone will come today tomorrow you know where
to be found, or maybe it's just Sunday Sunday Tunay.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
As a church, since you're a church, you should work.
You should happen to that voice. If all of us
we agree that on a particular day we're supposed to
gather to do what to call on God. We're supposed
to gather to study the word of God. We're supposed
to gather to do one thing or the order we
(12:37):
should agree to do, to be dear so that we
will actually represent that church that we have been called
to be. Who will actually represent that church that we
have called to be? And we will all grow in
our faith. Because you alone, you cannot encourage yourself.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You are alone.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
There are sometimes you read some passages of the Bible,
but you don't even understand best Send Us two is there.
You have various beautiful topics for Senday school, as you're
supposed to be here to learn where you need to
understand the more so you cannot just stay only at
home and say, oh, because I have submitted myself to
(13:20):
accept Jesus Christ as my Lord, save you. So stay
at home only myself. No, you need to come because
the gathering it is very very important for you to
come so that words, so that you will sharpen yourself
the more because staying alone you cannot nob ist of knowledge,
(13:41):
no monopoly of knowledge. You have everything at the tip
of your finger. No, you learn from each other. We
learn from each other. So as a church wish your world,
we should submit so that word will have that because
the church is a source of word, has reach, child grows.
So without you participating, without you coming, it means that
(14:05):
word you will not grow.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
And then in.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Doing that you will learn on how to love, because
you cannot stay only you at home or stay somewhere
only you yourself to know how to love better. As
you come, you see how others express their love to
orders to one another. Then from there you will pick
one or two things that will help you to begin
(14:29):
to laugh, even if you don't have that because of
your coming, will make you to do what to develop
that spirit of loving and another and also have to serve.
Maybe true you're coming for your spiritual growth. It will
help you to word, to know how to serve others,
(14:49):
to know how to serve others and to encourage one another,
just as a churche. So I pray that the Lord
will help us in Jesus' name. It is a place
of accountability and service. It is a place of accountability
and service. You are called to hold each other accountable
(15:13):
and be accountable. So we are called to work to
hold each other accountable or be accountable. You cannot be
accountable for another person. If all of us will be around,
it will be together.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
As a church.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
We agree that, yes, in Shiloh, we want to serve God.
In Shiloh, we have agreed that. So so time we
are coming for this particular activity. So so time, if
maybe paradventure you discover that your sister or your brother
is not you can put a call. That is it
means you are accountable for that person and another person.
(15:52):
On so doing, somebody will be there too to help you.
Somebody will be there too to be accountable for you.
And I prayed that the lot to help us in
Jesus' name. Praise the Lord, Praise massa Jesus.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So also, a church.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Is a mission to the world, because the Bible tells
us in marchil chapter twenty eight, verse nineteen verse eighteen
nineteen to twenty. He said we should go I there
for and make disciple of all nations.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You know, say that it's.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Only the person, but as believers, as children of God,
as Christian, we should go Ida for to make God,
to make disciples of all nation. So it's an ass
simon place you're being called as what as the.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Children of God.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's not only Sunday Sunday service, but it should be
our daily activities, our daily life activities to work to
see that we bring in souls to the kingdom. Because
it's someone that has left its comfort zone to meet
you to where you are today. So you likewise we
(17:13):
should we should do what we should do same because
the assignment has been given on to us. The songwriters say,
will I go before God with an empty handed? Will
I go before God with an empty handed? As a church,
we are not We are not supposed to. But we
need to get someone that will be at our back
(17:35):
when you turn and you see your brothers and sisters,
all some that will testify that day and say ah
because of missus card, because of Missus B, because missus A,
and so far that I am here. Oh, maybe our
portion in Jesus name, maybe the portion of everyone of
us in Jesus' name, And that is why we are
(17:57):
called to be Christ highed. We are called to be
Christ hands as the church we are called because each
and over and fors is a church. So we are
called to be Christ hand. We are called to be
Christ fit. We here on earth we are called to
(18:19):
be Christ fit. We are called to be Christ's voice
where we will speak, where we will tell others in
our place of work, in our home, wherever we find
ourselves in our community. We should be what we should be,
people that will share the word of God. And I
pray that the Lord will help us to so do
(18:39):
that in Jesus name. Then back then to our our
texts for the day. A text of her today he
talks about devoted. They devoted themselves to the Acosol teaching.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
That is the commitment or.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
That is the topic of today, commitment to fellowship of believers,
commitment to fellowship of Believers. So it talks about what
it talks about devoted they devoted that it is in
verse two, in verse forty two, they devoted themselves to
their appost, to teaching, to fellowship and to breaking breid
(19:31):
and prayers. So the early Church, they are always in
the church, the early Church of them, they are always
in the church and being in the church because the
Simon says, I'm always glad when they say we should
go to word to the century of the Lord, because
in the century of the Lord, there is bound, there
(19:53):
is what, there is deliverance, there are good things found
in the century of the Lord.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
These speakle.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
They devoted themselves to the teaching. They obey the teaching
of the disciples, so as they give their lives to Christ.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
They are always what.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
They are always in the presence of what of believers,
so that what so that they can hear the word
of God and put the word of God into what
into practice.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's not if some of us today.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Will be here prayer meeting off tomorrow none of us
will be here, maybe just few people. We are seated
in good number. But come tomorrow and see the numbers
that will be here for prayer, for prayer band, you
will see just few people. What about the church? Have
(20:45):
we neglected or have we forgotten that we are the church?
Or are we neglecting the building, the structure, coming to
join and together, coming together because they devote themselves to God,
to the teacher of the the received from war from
the postal. So they devote themselves. So I prayed that
(21:08):
a lot will help us to so do that. In
Seso's name, everyone was failed away m we are failed
with what with away, because of what, because of that
which is happening in their means, because of that which
is happening, we are failed with away. At day many
(21:31):
wonders and science performed by the a postal. So we
likewise we are world. We are the apostle of disease.
If all of us, if some of us we will
sincerely genuinely submit ourselves to join air prayer band will
begin to break.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yok. We're beginning to move mountains, we begin to do things.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Miracles, wonders will begin to happen in our life. But
it's just that we don't even have the time. Some
of us will be thinking of our work. We'll be
thinking of our business, We'll be thinking of wanting or
the other that cannot even help. But because if actually
we will be in the presence of God, we will pray,
(22:17):
we join the band and do the needful, we will
see things begin to happen. Just as it happened in
the early church and forty four. All the believers we
are together.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
And hide everything in common. There we are together, there
we are learning.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Mister A will bring his own suggestion, Mister B will
bring his own ideas, Mister C will bring his own ideas,
And that is out.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
There will be learning.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
They will learn from this one Ah. This one has
the spirit or the gift of this. The other one
has the gift of that. From there you can discover
your own. But today they are in church. You will
know we are to be found. They are in a
prayer meeting, There are women program, they are in other activities.
(23:06):
You are notware to be fun. How would you be
able to stand as a church? How would we be
able to stand? But the people of all they always
come together. They always come together to realize or to
discover many things. They are all together in one in
and have things in common. So if we'll be here together,
(23:31):
we learn what's being taught. Maybe from the Center school,
you learn how to take care of your family, You
learn how to take care of your neighbor, you know
how to take care of other things.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
By the time you go back you.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Begin to exhibit those things because a former pastor reverend
will always say that if you're a driver, you know
how to drive. You can a display that in filling stations.
You only display that out start outside the feeling station.
By the time you take your foard, you go out
and drive, that is when they will know that, yes,
(24:07):
this one is a driver. So I pray that God
to herp us to make use of this opportunity to
do the need.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
For him Jesus' name. Amen.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
They sold property and possession to give to anyone who
hurt needs. You can see their life, their lifestyle. They
sold their property to give to those who have need.
You cannot be at home. Well you have needs, abe,
because those that are in their miss that has needs,
(24:43):
they are always together with them, so they can easily
identify that this sister sold she is in.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Need of this. If it is shoe, maybe you have been.
We are in the same shoe every.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Now and then when they are coming for fellowship, and
you are always we are in the same shoe. By
the time you come today, you'll come tomorrow. Somebody will
see that this sister needed shoe. That person will do word,
will go and get a shoe for you. But you
are at tom and you expect somebody to get that
shoe for you.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
It won't be possible.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
But if you come the people that are within, they
will identify that, yes, this sister is surely in need,
or this brother is surely in need.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
It could be maybe you are not working. But by
the time you come to.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Church, and then they identify that this one is not working. Somebody,
God would somebody may be dear that it has opportunity
to fix you somewhere.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You can do that.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
But you are at hom and you are complaining that
I cannot come to church.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Be that church. Start from you and me to be
that church. To be that church, and will see our
life begin to flourish.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
We will see our life begin to do exployd to
the glory of God.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
And I prayed that the Lord will help us in
Jesus' name. So every day's verse forty six.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Every day they continue to meet together in the temple court,
they break breaks in their homes, eat together with glad,
and sincere heart, they eat together with glad and sincere heart.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
We used to do love fee abbely as a church.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
If actually we have been coming together, we have understanding ourselves.
We have seen reason to love ourself, to serve others,
to do all the activities that he has been called
for as a church. By the time we're going for
love feest, we begin to eat without bordering whether this
(26:57):
one has it or not, because it is it is
going to be in abandance.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
It's going to be in abandance.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And we eat will love because they eat with what
with sincerity of heart, They eat with gladness because they
have understand each other. They have understand each of just
like a family. They become like more or less a family.
They are so tight, so united, the unity of it
(27:28):
has already been built in them.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
The house and eat without any issue of what house relationship?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
How many people will you see to the point that
some of what we say are because the other persons
is not coming to my house, so I will not
go to his house.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
What is that.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
The other one is not coming to my house, I
won't go to his house. And we have been little
little grudges between ourself. Please we should wake up, sheiloh,
we should wake up to our responsibility. Let our house
fellowship be burning with fire. Now, let our house of
(28:21):
fellowship be what be a place that people will be
yelling that late Friday. Come as we finish this Friday,
will be pray for another Friday.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Let our words coming for our prayer meeting meet big service.
Be word be so serious.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
That we want to come and learn something from all
our master, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lord
has something.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
For me special that I need to be there.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Some of us, I used to shake my head when
I wake up in the morning, run the kitchen, come back,
do that before you know.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
When time is first auction, I'll be picking my bag
so that I will join Stargus. So i world, I
will go to work on place.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
What about coming to where you will meet the owner
har the owner of the universe. Do we actually have
that at the back of our mind that I'm coming
to meet the most, the most, the most, the most
important person in my life. I pray that the Lord
(29:35):
to help us, the Lord to herpos to do the
need for him Jesus name. So they come together and
they eat together with sincerity of heart. Whatever is presented
before them, they eat it joyfully, not as some of
us who say this food is from the northern side
and this one is from the other side.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
We begin to make selection.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
You don't know how the person maybe has spelled or
maybe she ha made have denied herself to prepare the
special dish.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
But we begin to make complain.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I prayed that the Lord to Heppa, so that we
will see ourself as that church. And we begin to
respect each other, and we begin to carry the body
of each other, and we begin to love each other,
and we begin to serve each other, and we begin
to do things that will actually shows that, yes, indeed,
(30:31):
this is the Church of God.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
And I prayed that the Lord to Heppa.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Since Jesus then praising God and enjoying the favor of
all the people, and the Lord added to their numbers
daily those who we are being saved. Hmmm, the Lord
added to their numbers those who are ward, who are
being safe, those who are being safe.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I say Church, Am I bringing souls to Christ? As
say church?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Because the people of all the early believers the word,
they praise God, they enjoying the favor of all.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Are we enjoying the favor of all by doing the needful?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Because if we do the needful, we're enjoying the favor
of all the people around us. Because if mister A
knows his stand where he belonged. He would definitely love
the other. He will definitely do the writing to the other.
You will definitely do that which is called for. But
(31:44):
the problem is that we don't even know where we belong.
We don't even know our stand. Because we are the
representative of God. We are the Church, the temple of
the Living God. We are the Holy Spirit. If actually
the Holy Spirit was, then we will do that which
(32:04):
is cow for. And I pray that the Lord to
help us Inesu's name. The biblical example of commitment to
a fellowship of believers in Acts of Opposite Chapter two,
Chapter two of verse forty two, which talks about the
(32:24):
early church devotion to teaching, fellowship and prayers. They devote
themselves to the teaching of their apperson and words and
prayers because it is in the house of God. It
is when we come. We agree that we are going
to do this. We agree that today is meet with prayer.
(32:47):
We agree that today because some of us we even
make suggestions that are I can remember when we started,
when our daddy come, it came newly. We start, we
talk about send the school because the turn up is
very poor. So we now decide we agree that okay,
we are going to do it after service.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
After the service, then will continue from that.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
From even those that raise their hands when we are
doing the election, they raise their hands, but give them
just how many Sunday they disappear, and then again another
complaint come that are during at that time, it's not
allowing us to come and maybe oh, he's taking over
(33:36):
our time, much of our time. We're now shifted to Okay,
we'll start by it and then we continue.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
With the rest of the service.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Some of us we will raise our hands, but today
our names as being at the back, we will not
be seeing them masself coming for that agreement that we
have agreed and in this house of God and you
are that temple of the living Spirit.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
That was in you.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
So it means we have life because we raise our
hands that yes we agree that, yes, we are going
to do that. And today how many if you come
for a Sunday school, we'll see just how many number
you come to the men's section, how many members you
come to women come to the youth. You just see
(34:27):
the figure. It's not tend to write home about we
are the church.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
We are the church. We should go.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Back and begin to demonstrate the attitude of the early Church,
the early Church in that Book of Arts, chapter two.
If you go home, you read even the whole chapter
of it, you will understand the more why they become
(34:57):
so tired, why they become so together, because they agree that, yes.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
On this we stand.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
On this, we stand and in the works for them.
And I know if Sheila will agree, it will work
for us and my God Apple. Since ESA's name in
Hebrews chapter ten, verse twenty.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Four to twenty five.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Hebrews ten, twenty four, that's the example of commitment to fellowship.
Commitment to fellowship. We go to Hebrew chapter Hebrew chapter ten,
verse twenty four to twenty five, and let us consider
(35:43):
how we may share up one another to love our
good deeds. Yes, we should showcase our world the spirit
of love, loving one another.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
By our also by our good deeds.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
So as a church, you have to represent that you
be a lovable person, a person that we want to embrace,
a person that we want to assist, a person that
we want toward to showcase is or her good deeds,
not the other way round. So I prayed that the
Lord will her person do that in Jesus' name than
(36:26):
verse twenty five says not giving up meeting together as
some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
And all the more.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
As you see the day approaching. Yes, because we are
running a race. We are running a race that all
of us collectively that at the end of the day
we all meet at the feet of Who, at the
feith of Jesus Christ. So it's a race that we
are running. As we come together, we begin to encourage
(37:03):
one another. We begin to tell each one another that
see how to run this race. You cannot run this
race alone. But as you are running, too, you will
be praying for others to so that there will work,
they will succeed, so that they too will be You
will see them at the end of the turner. And
(37:23):
I prayed that the Lord will help us in Jesus' name.
This passage encourage us not giving up on meeting with
other believers, that is coming to God, to activities. Just
as I have said, we have prayer, meeting, we have bibles.
(37:45):
After we pray, then we have our bible study. We
are you know you.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Study the world of God. We are.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
You can even have time to ask questions and answer
will be given. To you, not like this one standing
and then some one person will just pray and you go.
Maybe you have a question that you want to bet
the opportunities not their better to be in the Bible study.
You have the time toward to ask questions and the
(38:11):
answer will be given. And I pray that the lot
will help us in Jesus' name. Then Galicians chapter six,
verse two, carry each other body and in this in
this way you will fulfill the law of Christ, which
include the commitment of helping and supporting one another in
(38:36):
times of difficulties, in terms of difficulty, carrying one another body.
As we are together, the people of all, as they
are together, we now know the needs. We now know
what is happening with Master A. Just like this Armam Tughter,
(39:01):
she too, You know Mama anytime she's okay, she will
always be in church. Mama will even come my dands
earlier than some of us at her own age. She
will come on time. She will even participate in Sunday school.
But when Mamma is not, we are we have not
(39:21):
been seen Mama. That is where we begin to ask her,
where is Mama? But not even Mama has not been coming.
Maybe too longer time before you see her, you just
say okay, maybe it's the way that he used to be.
You will even bother to say okay, I will ask
where is mamma? But because Mama used to DeVore our time,
(39:44):
used to come toward to observe their activities. And that
is why people begin to ask her, what about Mama?
What about to the point of what arranging some people
to go and visit mama because Mama has been down
with her health challenge.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
So but for someone for us.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
You take two weeks, three weeks, that is just the
Sunday Sunday on. But if you talk of when it's
their activities, you talk of prayer band, you talk of
any other activities, there are nowhere to be found there
Sunday one.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Two. Some will take two weeks, three weeks, they won't
be around.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
So whatever that's happened, nobody will them because it has
become a use.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
That's how it is, That's how she is, that's how
he is. And no call will be placed and then
they will start grumbling the next thing at this charge.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
They don't care that one. They don't do this, they
don't do that.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Ha ha are the spirit that they will know that
some person or something is happening, but they'll come together.
They are always together, and that is why they begin
to know. Ah the area to support them, the area
that they need help, and help begin to come. Because
they told us that they sold their property and bring
(41:13):
in the money and bring in it could be fulls
off that they need. Somebody will say he is part
of his property and go and buy it fullst off.
They begin to share and everybody will go home rejoicing.
Everybodybody will go home.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Feel at home.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Praise the Lord, Praise Master Jesus. The Lord is faithful.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
You can see.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Another one in efficiency in first John chapter one, verse
six to seven. If we say we have fellowship with him,
yet work in darkness, will lie and do not practice
the truth, because our God is truth. If we walk,
(42:04):
If actually we have been called as His children and
we still work in darkness, it means we are not
what we are not working in the right part. It
means we are what we have life because in the
first instant we have said bye bye to what the darkness.
Add we have joined into the family of light, which
(42:26):
Christ is the light. So we have joined into that family,
and today again they see us still going back.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
To that darkness.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
It means we have first we have led to the truth.
We are not standing in that truth. So may God
help us in Jesus' name. But if we walk in
the light, as He is the light, we have fellowship
with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his son,
(42:55):
has cleansed us from all sin. Praise the Lord. Praise
the Lord. Then we can look we see another one.
In John chapter thirteen, verse thirty five, John toteen thirty five.
By this, all people will know that you are my disciple.
(43:16):
If you have, if you have love for one another,
that and as cover all the commandment of God. It
has covered love. Love has covered everything. So it will
show us that. Yes, indeed, if we belong to the
family of Christ, if we belong, we are actually Christian.
(43:40):
That has been called. It means we'll begin to work
to show love for one another. And I pray that
even as we go, the Lord will help us to
so do that in Jesus' name. Conclusion, Romance, chapter twelvers ten.
Be devoted to one another in love, honor one another,
(44:02):
a both yourself, which encourages believers to show broaderly love
and to.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
And our do.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Show okay to our doo one another, showing honor, valuing
other more than yourself. Prayed that the Lord to help
us to value others, to honor others, to love others
even more than our said, because that is the Bible
say the trick.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
The time commandment is summarizing too.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with
all your minds. And then it tells us to love
our word our neighbors as we love our saf So.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
God help us to so do that. In Jesus name,
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
And prayers our heavenly Father, the King of Kings, the
Lord of Lord, Jehovah, Jerry Jehovah, Shamer Jehovah is shudder.
Bless you, Daddy, Thank you Father for your world that
has gone out. I prayed at every heart that need
to be pierced before your word to penetrate. I prayed
(45:17):
the Lord, we ap pierce that heart and let your
word have a place in that heart.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
In Jesus' name.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
In this week, Father Lord, heppus to showcase as safe
as being the true Church, if actually we have not
been doing that, Father Lord, from now Hence for father
heppas to so do that. Lord in Jesus' name, we
have done wrongly. I asks for messy. Let your messy
(45:45):
at the throne of grace. Speak for us. Lord in
Jesus' name, pray for the week, made the week. Do
us good and no harm. Lord in Jesus' name, Thank you,
fearful Lord, because we believe you will do more than
