Good evening everyone and happy Sunday to us all. Am Sis Atuma Hope and am doing this post to share my lessons on mass indoctrination Day 9.
From the study, we learnt that the main purpose for church gathering should not be just to take offerings or contributions, the congregation should always gather and have meetings with or without taking offerings as the Bible book of Hebrews 10 : 24 and 25, the main purpose for church gatherings should be to observe one another to give help to those that are in need; for there are those who do not have anything among congregations (1Corin. 11:22, 21) . We are to exhort one another together when we gather. we are to consider one another too to provoke unto love and to good works as written in Hebrews 10:24.
We also learnt that certain things are done willingly in the house of God without being compelled to do them. They are not commandments but they are necessary. They are decided by man. An example of such is Contributions.
Contributions are needed in the Church for maintance and operational expenses but, contributions or offerings should not be made compulsory on the members. Giving contributions should be voluntary.
Aside observing and exhorting one another as we gather, there is joy and excitement meeting ourselves in a gathering as perfect joy can be felt when we are together in a church gathering.
We als learnt that other things that should be done in a church gathering includes singing, for everyone should have a psalm when we gather as said in the book of 1 Corinthians 14 :26. Singing is one of the most joyful activities in gatherings. Singing is a commandment for God and in church gatherings singing should not be to Mary, Angels or any man. we should sing and praise God -Colo. 3: 16 - 17,Heb. 13 :15. Deliverance can take place when Signing to God for there are songs of deliverance, even in the early days David played instruments to deliver Saul from his evil spirits. The songs are composed of God's words and therefore singing praises to God is surficent to drive away evil spirits ( Psalms 32 :7).
We also learnt that, in church gatherings as written in that 1 Corin. 14 :26- 27 there should be interpreter to God's Word. The Word of God should be careful studied and well interpreted for better understanding for the people as there may be people from different tribes from amongst us. Also, there should be a doctrine and revelation for everyone one in a gathering. In gatherings we should salute one another with a kiss of love. In the gathering of the brethren , God is glorified and the people are healed too.
Thanks for reading through. You are invited to join us in the mcgi programs. God bless us all.
