A TRUE CHURCH



IN A TRUE CHURCH

1 Corinthians 12:28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

We have according to the Word of God in each church service every member being involved and the gifts of the Spirit in operation! The leader or coordinator follows what the Scriptures tell us to do which is to use the Gifts of the Holy Spirit by encouraging people to use the gifts of the Holy Spirit in his meetings.  NO matter what size of a meeting they have, they have to encourage people to use their gift of the Holy Spirit. And, when there are messages in tongues and the interpretation of tongues people will be convicted of their sin and they get saved/baptized with the Holy Spirit.  Prophecy is important as it’s for the encouragement of believers.  All of the gifts of the Holy Spirit draw people to Jesus with the result that people’s needs will be met. 

When leaders or coordinators lead  a church or community service, they will have not only led people to salvation and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit but they will  pray and have others pray for the different needs of the people.  Like the Apostle Paul who said, “For I long to see you, that I might impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, that we may be mutually encouraged, both yours and mine” (Rom. 1: 11). 

True leaders are not entertainers and never boastful about the numbers that come to their meetings in their crusades.  They TEACH the believers can receive answers to every prayer that is based on God's Word, as long as he has enough faith and that there is nothing in his life that could be hindering his prayer. They hardly ever talk about money except to ask people to pray and ask Jesus what they should do to help the ministry or the poor and needy.  They never charge any church for their ministry.  They do what Jesus instructed them to do:
Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

But they do boast about individuals who have received healings, deliverance, miracles.  They boast about the fact that “My God shall supply all of your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philip 4: 19).

True leaders are to be like the Holy Spirit who is invisible so that people will see only Jesus and, like Paul, will boast about Jesus, the Holy Spirit.  They pastor large or small churches because Jesus tells them where to be.   

They start house churches so that everybody can do ministry by being equipped with the 15 Gifts of the Holy Spirit in each fellowship.  It works because that is where Jesus started His Church.  Remember: “And when he returned to Capernaum after some days he was reported to be home (Greek reads “in his house”).  It was His house that the four men brought the paralytic man and cut a hole in the roof so they could drop him down to Jesus and Jesus healed him.   They do not trade the praise of God for the praise of men.  And that is one of the reasons many of those big churches of both sides have been closed by God  because they are run by egotistic self-serving leaders!

When a preacher makes himself bigger that Jesus, then his/her name will be removed from the Book of Life (Rev. 3: 8). There is no reason to jealous of any of them because they are blinded by numbers and wealth and the praise of men.  If we read Paul’s experience in his testimony in 1 Cor. 11: 7 – 33 and compare it to most big name preachers or evangelists none of them would be in ministry today, if they followed his example.  Those preachers only want to use Scripture that, in the wickedness of their minds, will give them an excuse to be wealthy.    We are not to let them deceive us but seek only God’s will in every area of our lives including the church we attend and the ministries that we attend.
