WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE THE CHURCH THEY ATTEND


*DAILY DEW 12TH/OCTOBER/2021*

*WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE THE CHURCH THEY ATTEND*

_Key Bible Text:_
*And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.* (Acts 5:11-12 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

*HERE ARE THE MANY REASONS WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE THE CHURCH THEY ATTEND:

1. The crowd the church pulls (everybody goes there)
2. Ambiance and comfortability of the church facility
3. The caliber of weekly attendees (for connection)
4. The charisma and personality of the pastor (I just like the pastor)
5. Family background (It's our family church)
6. The quality of their music (that church can sing)
7. Proximity (it's the one closest to my house)
8. Feel-good-only motivational preaching (I don't want any preaching that will 'stress' me)
9. The kind of programs they organize (talent hunts, singles valentine's picnic, suya and soya night, comedy and lots of fun, etc)

BUT HERE ARE THE GOD-ORDAINED REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE A CHURCH YOUR HOME CHURCH:

1. Where I am challenged and trained to pray
2. Where I am taught and inspired to uphold the Word of God above everything else and live by it
3. Where I am guided on how to explain the gospel in clarity and win others to Christ
4. Where I am loved and practically taught to walk in love and serve others selflessly 
5. Where I am challenged and shown how to walk in righteousness and in power
6. Where I can be accountable for my own spiritual growth 

Ask yourself today, why do you attend that church you attend? If it is any of the reasons in the first category, you are simply a Christian Club member, you don't have a church.

*MEDITATION*
*But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.* (1 Timothy 3:15 (KJV))

WELCOME TO MISSIONS (VI)

*DAILY DEW 18TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO MISSIONS* (VI) _Key Bible Text:_ *And of making all people see how God's secret plan is to be put into effect. God, who is the Creator of all things, kept his secret hidden through all the past ages, in order that at the present time, by means of the church, the angelic rulers and powers in the heavenly world might learn of his wisdom in all its different forms.* (Ephesians 3:9-10(GNB))  _Bible Insight:_ But now for the sequel. They became so interested, so aroused, so awakened, that they came in ever-increasing numbers. Souls were saved and in a very short time every seat was taken. Before long thy had caught the vision and they began to give, to give as they had never given before, and in a few weeks, without having to say hardly anything about the local obligations, every debt was paid, every bill met, and from that day to this we have not known the meaning of the word “debt” in connection with our work. We discovered that w

PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM

Image
*DAILY DEW 5TH/MAY/2021* *PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." (Romans 10:1-2 (KJV))   _Bible Insight:_ Some have tried to distinguish between what is desirable and what is wrong by using two separate words, patriotism and nationalism. The value of the former has been shown by Lecky when he wrote in his _History of European Morals_ :  Patriotism leads men to subordinate their wishes to interests of the society in which they live. It extends the horizon of life, teaching men to dwell among the great men of the past, to derive their moral strength from the study of their heroic lives, to look forward continually, through the vistas of a distant future, to the welfare of an organization which will continue when they have passed away.  Nationalism, on the other hand, can be used to

Age Long Wisdom (III)

Image
*DAILY DEW 13TH/NOVEMBER/2020* *Age Long Wisdom (III)* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And Jesus went on to say, And so I tell you: make friends for yourselves with worldly wealth, so that when it gives out, you will be welcomed in the eternal home."* (Luke 16:9) _Bible Insight:_ In soul winning, we need money! Cool money! The world needs the power of God but it takes engaging money to bring the Gospel close enough, so that the world can hear and see the power of God.  We need money and materials things to push the Gospel. In our key text, we see the need to use worldly wealth to make friends who will be brought closer to the opportunity to hear the Gospel and be saved. Use worldly wealth. You don't need to wait until you have enough of it. You will never have enough. However, you can decide to use the worldly wealth you have for soul winning. In the story of the good Samaritan, we see a Samaritan using his time, energy and resources to revive the man who was robbed and w
