ultimate aim of all ministry is not to do the work of the ministry, but rather to equip God’s people to do the work of the ministry.

Any ministry or church that fails to raise up sons and daughters is not a true New Testament ministry.

The local church needs our loyalty – and we need our local church. Give to it, tithe to it, serve in it, honour it and celebrate it! It may not always seem as exciting, but it is the only way to bear fruit and fruit that remains.

Every Christian I have known who decided that they didn’t need the House of God has always lost the presence of the Father.

Followers are loyal to a title; sons and daughters are loyal to a person.

being part of a Church exposes you to pain, betrayal, disappointment and hurt more than anything else in life. And yet, quite simply, the Body of Christ is still the method God uses to bring salvation and life to the world.

We must thank God for our pastors and pray for them every day. Satan always attacks the pastor and his family first within a church because he knows that if he can “strike the shepherd, the sheep of the flock will be scattered”. (Matthew 26v31) Pastors need us to cover them in prayer daily.

Where there is no honour, there is always chaos.

This verse shows us that the Church is not primarily here to educate people or reform society or meet people’s social needs or to be a fellowship gathering, but it is a Spiritual organism, testifying of a Spiritual Being to other spiritual beings.
