Jesus Christ said to his disciples, who do men say I am, and they said, some say you are Elijah, some say you are John the Baptist, others says you are one of the prophets, and Jesus said to them,who do you say I am. And Peter rose up and said, you are Christ, the son of the living God. And Jesus said, flesh and blood did not reveal this to you but my father who is in heaven.
So many people have taken the church as a house of God, why so many people also have still taken it to be the place of worship,why some others also have still taken it as just a normal place for people to gather together for one thing or the other, and some even take it as a place for hide out for evil, but to you why are you in church. Why so many people get this deferent about the church is just because they have never understand the real church.
The word of God said, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, where God dwells, you are the church of the living God.
This physical building we called church and end it there is where the problem is, it suppose to be called the church house or the church building, that is to say that house or that building belong to the church, just as you we say, this house belong to Mr John. You are the church of God. Remember what Jesus said to the Jews, that I will pull down this temple and in three days I will have it up, and the Bible says he is talking about his body, which is the real temple.
Haven explaining all that to our understanding, the guestion still remains why are we in the house ? There is a popose why we come together there, and it is to achieve a common goal, and that is the primary popose of being in the church house, and that popose is to make Home, every other things apart from that is secondary, when you look at the Bible book of Mathew carefully in chapter 6:33. And it says, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and it's righteousness and every other things shall be added unto you.
The church is a place for the in perfect to be perfected, it is a house of transformation, a place where those who believe in God and his primary popose for them gather to learn and to do his will, is a place where people are made who they are from Creation. From the beginning, God created Man in his own image and after his likeness, and the Bible says he breath on Man the breath of life and Man became a living being, that is to say, you have become as God in nature, therefore in every other things you must also possess the characters of God, which he deposited in you, through the breath of life, and the co-creating ability, which is the Authority (power) given to you the maker of the Heavens and the Earth.
IF SO WHY THE NEED FOR THE CHURCH.
God has his own plans for man before creating man, and because of little privilege given to a man, man markfuction and lost the glory to Satan the devil and since from that time, it has been a war, that is why in the process of redeemtion, the Redeemer says, that since the time of John the Baptist, up till now the kingdom of God sufereth violence and only the violence taketh it by FORCE. The Bible says that my house shall be a house of prayer, but you have make it a den of rubbers, that means there are things we sorpose do and things we sorpose not, and when we know what we suppose know, then we tell it to the world. You don't learn the pattern of the world or do the pattern of the world in church, but the lifestyle of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The is a place where we are being trained and become transformed and become a transformer, to transform the world for Christ. But today, reverse is the case, God will help us in Jesus name amen, this is time when you see believers, even in church, they look more fearful than those that are in the world who do not know God does it sopose to be so, Hallots dress naked in the street and in the club house, and when you found such dressing in the church house, how will you call those that wears them, if someone can still be in church and still love the things of world more, then who we change who, you must know the primary popose why they are in church., You are born again not born against, therefore represent Christ as Christ like.
The word of God says something very important, in the Bible book of ( 2Tim 2;19&20. Says that, Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, that God know those who are his own, therefore as many that nameth the name of Christ should depart from iniquity, for in a great house there are not only vessels of silver and gold, there are also vessels of clay and of wood some are unto honour and some are unto dishonour. Therefore you must depart from the pattern of the world and follow the ways of God, the Bible says that, he that is in Christ is a new creature old things have past away, and behold every thing has become new, let me world see you and learn from you, but you must not learn from the world, do not conformed to the world but be renewed by the Spirit, God bless you, be ye separated.
