Greeting to all the ladies and gentlemen at the Steemchurch. We thank the Lord for the great work He is doing daily through our wonderful parishioners.

We also thank our father in the Lord for his continuous support into making sure the church grow from strength to strength. We were so happy when we heard about a new branch to be established in the Philippines. Glory be to God for this great work.
Now our number is increasing and we are expanding too. The number of parishioners we have as church are not all that important but our devotion or commitment. One of the things which accounted for the growth of the early church was their devotion.
The believers continued to devote themselves to what the apostles were teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to times of prayer.Acts 2:42
For us to be united in purpose and to ensure a continual growth and expansion of the church we need to practice what the early believers did.
The Bible says that they did four things:
The devoted themselves to teachings
They devoted themselves to fellowship
They devoted themselves to the breaking of bread
They devoted themselves to prayer
Devote Yourself To Teachings
Source
The early believers were so concerned about knowing the Holy Scriptures and so they were diligent and were constant listeners of the Apostles messages and also the preaching of the Gospel. They were willing to be taught. As members of the Steemchurch we should be willing to be taught. We should read messages written and shared at the steemchurch and apply them to our life. We will be helping the church greatly by sticking to the word, becoming doers of the word.
Devote Yourself To Fellowship
Source
The Apostles and the believers were with one accord and were found in the temples and also at various places of meetings.They had a mutual affections for each other and showed great concern for one another. No one isolated himself or herself from the group and they were always together. Worship the Lord with other brethrens and be part of the various meetings or discussions that take place at venues the church may decide.
Devote Yourself To The Breaking of Bread
The believers devoted themselves to observing the Lord's supper and sharing of food with one another. They did this in memory of the death of Jesus Christ. They all were not ashamed to practice this rites but devoted themselves to it. As a member of the steemchurch you need to also consider the needs of others by helping them in every way you can. A little kindness from you to another parishioner is what builds up the church.
Devote Youself To Prayer

The early believers couldn't do away with prayer, it was a necessity for survival. Whenever you go on your knees to pray never forget the #Steemchurch. Pray for our leader , the #Apostles and every memeber in Nigeria, Ghana, Venezuela , Philippines and in the rest of the world.
May the Lord continue to give us grace
