The True Church of God

 The True Church of God

◄ John 4:24 ►

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The church of God is not the building.
The church of God are those who worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.

The Holy Spirit of God does not dwell in the house built with hands, but dwells in the hearts of only those who worship Him in Truth and in Spirit.
Not in the houses of all the liars and their lies of false religion.

Any rebellion against the Truth is a rebellion against God.

John 8:44-45

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

The Church is not the Building, The Building is not the Church

The Church is not the Building, The Building is not the Church

Building the biggest,  largest or costliest auditorium for your church means nothing to Almighty God if His Holy Spirit is absent from your building. 

As my mother of blessed memory, Mrs. Gladys Unuamaighiuwa Eke repeated again and again that THE HOLY SPIRIT of God does not dwell in the house built by hands; but dwells in the house built in the hearts of the true believers of God.

It is still baffling to me that those who claim to be ministers of God who have repeatedly read the command of our MESSIAH JESUS Christ clearly gave as our mission on earth which is the Great Commission as written in Matthew 28:19-20:

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.": 

Yet they are engaged in childish and foolish bragging rights to who has built the largest church building or auditorium in the world!

They are competing for the Guinness Book of World Records instead of competing for the lost and wandering souls of the confused and ignorant humans our Lord JESUS Christ commanded us to find and guide to redemption and salvation.

I ask them, how much have you spent on evangelism in the mission fields compared to how much you have spent on building your gangantic auditoriums?

How much have you spent on charity compared to your gangantic auditoriums?

What determines the size of your church is not the size of the building, but the numbers of the true believers who fellowship and worship Almighty God in Spirit and in Truth.

John 4:24:

"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

John 8:32

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

SHALOM!

COVID-19 and the Spiritual Ignorance of Many Orthodox and Pentecostal Churches

 

Majority of the orthodox and Pentecostal churches have failed to learn the lessons of Almighty God from the #COVID19 pandemic, because of their spiritual ignorance. To them is back to business as usual.

As my beloved mother, Mrs. Gladys Unuamaighiuwa Eke of blessed memory said:
"The Holy Spirit of God does not live in the house built with hands and bricks, but in the hearts of true believers. "

Many churches disobeying and ignoring the precautions for the control and prevention of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic are not closer to Almighty God or holier than the churches with strict orders to prevent mass gatherings and barring anyone who is not wearing a facemask during and after the periods of the lockdown.

The body of Christ can gather in one accord from their different homes wherever they are in the world. All the mass gatherings of congregants for church programmes have not made churchgoers better Christians . 

The awesome body of Christ is higher and larger than any church auditorium or building in the world.
We must stop all the eye service and lip service to Almighty God, for we are only fooling ourselves in conceit and deceit, because we cannot fool HIM.

"God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth."
- John 4:24, Holy Bible.
