OPEN HEAVEN 7 MAY 2023 SUNDAY: SHOWING OFF IN CHURCH

OPEN HEAVEN 7 MAY 2023 MEMORIZE: And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. Acts 4:32

OPEN HEAVEN 7 MAY 2023 BIBLE READING 1 CORINTHIANS 11:18-22

18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper.

21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

 

Are you tired of the culture of showing off in the Church? Do you long for a united Church where believers care for each other and the gospel? Today’s message by Daddy will edify your soul. Happy Sunday, read and share this much-needed message with your loved ones. God Bless you!

Today’s Confession: I confidently confess that as believers, we can dress well and enjoy luxurious items, but we will not use them to oppress others or show off our possessions. The Church is a place of unity, where we care for each other and the gospel, and not a place of competition for material possessions. By God’s grace, we will put aside selfishness and pride and work together in love and harmony, fulfilling God’s plan for us as His Body. (Philippians 2:2-4)

OPEN HEAVEN 7 MAY 2023 MESSAGE

One habit that seems to have crept into the Church recently, is that of showing off to other Church members. There are people who go to Church majorly to show off their new clothes or some other material possession. This is completely outside God’s plan for the Body of Christ.

God’s original plan for the Church is for everyone to be united and have everything in common. The Bible says in Acts 2:46-47: And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

The reason the Church is not growing as fast as it should is that there is no singleness of heart. When people prefer to outshine one another in showing off their material possessions than actually caring about each other and the gospel, the Church cannot grow. The reason we have not won the whole world to Christ is that the Church is not united.

You Need This 👉 How To Pray Effective Midnight Prayers

The Holy Spirit does not move in the midst of divided people. When the Holy Spirit descended in the Upper Room, the people were in one accord (Acts 2:1). Until Christians love each other and are in one accord, the Church cannot experience the move of the Holy Spirit as it should.

Many Church leaders wonder why the Holy Spirit is not moving as much as they expect, not knowing that the problem is in the divisions within the Church. Some pastors give special attention to the rich in the Church.

Apostle James said in James 2:1-5 that you should not give the rich preferential treatment against those that are not so rich, or else you would become a judge with evil thoughts. It doesn’t matter how rich they are, they should not be praised for showing off in the Church, but rather, rebuked.

Believers should dress well and can own luxurious items. However, it is wrong to flaunt material possessions with the intent to oppress others. The Church must unite and cease to be a place where people compete to outshine one another over material possessions. 15 Midnight Prayers To Reverse Delayed Destinies

We should go to church with the intent of hearing the WORD and receive your own portion of blessing from the service.

The message is true,i pray it will not end there,thank God for your life sir.
God Almighty will send the fire of revival to the body of Christ so that the true followers of Jesus Christ will return to the apostolic ways as it was done in Acts 4:32 and in Act 2 46 -47 in Jesus Name.
