Connected

WoW! We have been on the go, but thanks be to God the best is yet to come.


There are two reasons why people do not go to church.

1. They don't know about it.
2. They don't recognize the significance of attending a local body.

Being apart of something is our human nature. If we are not apart of something then we begin to withdrawal from others. This is unhealthy. So, how do you increase and cause multiplication within your church.

It's not through negativity, hurt, lies, or manipulations. Influence gone perverted is manipulation. It's God that brings the increase. The bible states it comes in the form of thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold.

In the book of Acts the bible states the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved. The Lord added. God is in the business of blessing your church, business, family, career, but we have to be obedient to His will.

What caused 3000 to be added to the first church was the obedience of 120 people that waited in the upper room. It's never in the quantity, but in the quality. Yes numbers do matter. But God uses what you have.

It's imperative that people know Jesus and that there is a place for them to weekly attend and become apart of. Belonging is what every human being on planet earth desires. We desire to be accepted, loved, and appreciated. It's the Church that should be a safe haven. A hospital to some, a refreshing to others, and most important a place of hope. Connection is the key to good success.

When we express Jesus to others then they begin to see what others see. Our expression should be all about Him.

Today, is Jesus Lord of every area of your life. Is he the center and circumference. The base and the boundary, the sum and substance of what life is all about. If not, then reevaluate and make Him the center in every area of your life. It's not happen chance or coincidental that you stopped by, but by the providential hand of God.


Be Blessed
