Hello Ladies and Gentlemen peace be with you all, am delighted to share with you all the lessons I learnt from the zoom meeting on Mass Indoctrination Of Our Lord Jesus Christ Day 9.
Been there for each other is a doctrine of the church of God, for that we need to always come together as one body and help each other
Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Our good LORD edge us to be prayerful.
Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation:the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
The church shouldn't be an institution for extortion money from it members but rather we need to be there for each other especially those who are poor among us.
James 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
Gathering is a commandment of God and we His followers should also gather as the early Apostles did.
2 John 1:12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
What do we mean when we are gathering?
Gathering is very important because when the early Apostles met they shared the doctrines.
Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
Things we should do when we gather
One importance of gathering is to share the doctrines of God. And we have to sing to edify God when we gather
1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Before the creation of man, the Angels were singing to glorify the name of God.
Revelation 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Revelation 5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Revelation 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
According to the Bible there Angel were singing to glorify God, they sang when God was creating the world and when Jesus Christ was born too they sang.
To whom do we sing to
When we gather, we should sing to glorify the name of the LORD,and not sing to idols
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
Psalms 92:3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
In the Bible David sang and the evil spirit in Saul was cast away. So sing helps to cast away evil spirit
Samuel 16:23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
When to gather , worship and sing unto the Lord
Saturday is the seventh day, Sunday is the first day of the week, so Christians are free to worship on Sundays, not Saturdays.
The early Christians gathers everyday, so we are free to gather, pray and worship everyday
John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Gathering is one of the most important thing to Christ.
