Fellowship: Part: B

Christianity is what we see in the world today as a ‘religion’ like other religions. It has different thoughts, practices, and rituals; Worship methods can also be seen. The teachings themselves are different. Jesus Christ does not appear to have founded such a religion. No historical facts, either. In Matthew 28.20, the command of Jesus Christ is: ‘Make disciples of all nations, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. I am with you always until the end of the world.” Here, Jesus Christ refers to disciples who keep his commandments, not religious institutions.

But one community is the body of Christ, the Church of God. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 16:18. “I will build my church, and the towers of Hades shall not prevail against it.”

The most relevant parable used by the Apostle Paul to show the relationship between Christ and his Church is “the church, which is the body of Christ.” A person of whom Christ is the Head and the Church is the body, {The body of Christ} is a complete personality. That is the Church. 1 Corinthians 12:12 to 27 is very clear. This indicates a great fellowship. 

The body is an example of how humans, on many levels, can come together. Many organs join to form a body and give it beauty and function together without division. Although each organ’s form, function, position, and size are different, a personality does not suffer from disorder because it works according to the instructions received from the Head.

This is how the blood of Jesus Christ redeems the Church of God. The Word means that the members of the Church should act and behave without regard for pride, just as no member should judge one another. Romer.12.16 “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low positions. Do not be conceited.”

 Eph: 4.16. From him, the whole body joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows, and builds itself up in love as each part does its work. 25. “Therefore, you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.” Therefore, the relationship between members of the Church is greater than anything else. A relationship with Christ Jesus is more than just blood relations: Christ the Head and the Church as the body’s relationship with the Church. We are obliged to maintain and adhere to it in church fellowships.

It has been said that church gatherings are for spiritual growth. I like to say something about it. Now, instead of saying they are going to church meetings, they say they will worship. Then they do not worship at other times. Today, worship is a pious act performed only on Sundays. In earlier times, it was said that he was going to the church meeting or that he was going to the congregation fellowship. That was what I heard from my fathers.

Today’s new generation of pastors and believers say worship. The truth is that our meetings are only a tiny part of our worship. But remember that these meetings are critical.

It is always important to honor this great God of ours. You must understand who God is and worship him. In Psalms 29, we can see a short description of God in verse 2. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. To find out his name, just read Ezekiel 1, 2, and Revelation 4 and 5; it isn’t easy to write here. It is necessary to check whether this act of worship (truth), which should be performed in purity, devotion, respect, fear, and love, is being performed in the same way today.

A new post that is not found anywhere else in the Bible has been introduced. ‘Worship Leader “{position of worship leader}. If you think that idolatry consists of dressing up in cinematic style, mixing men and women to the accompaniment of guitars and other rhythms, singing songs that no one else should know and cannot sing, dancing, etc., on stage, is worship, then you are wrong. Now everyone in the Church should be given a chance to perform. Or it will be a problem. Everyone is smart. Everyone’s programs should be fattened. Or worse. So, it should be fattened as much as possible. That is the goal.

 This is the course, whether it is a convention or a Sunday meeting. God will not forgive me if I do not mention one more thing that has come to my attention. Because no matter what nonsense, lies, or contradictory teachings are spoken on stage, the lead pastor will say, “It was a perfect, blessed message song.” Everyone should raise their hands and say thanks. No one is ready to correct the mistakes and move forward. It looks like someone, or something, is afraid. Both men and women should honor God with a respectable dress code. There should be respect in the words used.

God does not want wild shouting, roaring, and jumping. What is needed is the inner truth. We have received the Spirit of wisdom, reconciliation, sanity, and truth. There is no doubt that anything contrary to this is satanic.

Let only those who have received the anointing of the Holy Spirit enter the stages and do ministries. Sing songs that everyone in the audience can sing along with in their rhythm and style. Let those who have the knowledge and ability of the Word preach. Let those who have the gift of the Holy Spirit make proper use of it. Give everyone in the congregation an opportunity for prayer, praise, and thanksgiving, and do not let the gathering place be a place for only a few, but let everyone have an opportunity to sing praises and glorify God. You can feel and see the work of the Holy Spirit while singing and praising together.

We must realize that worship is the whole life of a person. Worship is always doing things that are pleasing to God and giving glory to God in all areas of life. The truth, justice Purity. And if things are the face of life, the worship that is life is complete and perfect.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, “Rejoice always. In everything, give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus”. Praising and singing only in Church or other gatherings, and then have nothing to do with it. These are the Lukewarm group mentioned in Revelation 3.17. There are many such people in the churches today.
