Comment: To say
that Christ’s church in the United States lacks power today should not be a
shock to many if not all saints of God who understand that they are saints. Not
because of who they are and not because of what they aspire to be. The children
of God are saints because they have ‘faith’ in the ONE who died and rose again
on the cross at Calvary. There are numerous children of God, they are saints
and they have the potential to be full of the power of God, but they are
misguided by those who may be saints themselves, but do not understand that
power which the seek to control with theologies that do not teach the whole
counsel of God; Romans 1:16, Romans 15:16 and 2 Corinthians 12:9 will be the
platform for the next series of devotionals.
Devotional: There is no perfect church this side of
eternity, yes, we like our church, our church family and a host of other gospel
fed amenities. It should be irritating for many of us if someone talks or
writes negative things regarding the church we attend. I am a guilty one, am I not?
As I do say things about churches that (knowingly or unknowingly) lead the
children of God, called saints by God Himself; astray.
In 1 Corinthians 1:2 we see
that the church at Corinth had men and women who were “called to be saints”!
Now wait, could we be thinking that there is another process of action which we
must perform as believers to become saints. Absolutely absurd to think so! Yet if
you seriously study the First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians you will find
at least sixty-four sins that the Corinthian believers were involved in while “attending
church” thus it is no small thing to know that the operating church of today has
not changed, but even have become worse. Yet these men and women are saints.
In recent devotionals, I have
mentioned many of the ungodly obstacles that are standing in opposition to the
children of God in church. I mean; what better place for Satan to work and
destroy the children of God? Some of his best work is accomplished within the
walls of a local church. So, is there at solution; absolutely, submit to God
and resist the devil (1 Peter 5:1-11). Our churches today we are full of pride
and only a few who are humble enough to receive God’s grace. This is not to say that "leadership" is entirely responsible, it is not; individually as saints, we are just as responsible. If the church you
attend is humble then “Praise God”. More to come; why should God bless and
protect the United States of America?
