GROW AS A BELIEVER BY FELLOWSHIPPING REGULARLY

GROW AS A BELIEVER BY FELLOWSHIPPING REGULARLY
Scripture: Proverbs 27:17
Topic: Grow as a Believer by Fellowshipping Regularly

"Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend."
Proverbs 27:17

To grow in your new life it is important that you do not stay at home without fellowshipping. You must find a Bible-believing church and attend the services regularly.

What Is a Bible-Believing Church? A Bible-believing church is a church where people are taught to be born again, trained to be effective Christians and the Bible is the only source of truth. When a coal of fire is separated from the coal pot, and other burning charcoal, it dies out. Like a coal of fire you cannot survive on your own. You must fellowship with other believers to keep the Gospel fire burning in you.

"Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend."
Proverbs 27:17

How to Develop by Fellowshipping:

1. You must go to church regularly. Every Christian must fellowship regularly in a church, which is alive, born again, and Spirit-filled. It is very dangerous not to fellowship regularly.

"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."
Hebrews 10:25

Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, had the habit of going to the church of His day regularly.

"And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day..."
Luke 4:16

What happened to Judas when he kept avoiding fellowship for “legitimate” reasons? Judas probably betrayed Christ because he often had to leave their fellowship to “sort out certain financial issues”. Outside fellowship we are exposed to all sorts of temptations.

2. You must make friends and move closely with other Christians. You must change your friends and walk with born again Christians. You cannot do well as a Christian if you remain close to unbeliever friends.

"Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners."
1 Corinthians 15:33

"I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts."
Psalm 119:63

"And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."
Acts 2:42

Dear Christian friend, do not neglect the gathering together of the saints. Attend fellowship and be strengthened in your walk of faith.

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
