You can't Divide the House
Responding to a post warning against selfishness in the church...the page of King's Court Royal Assembly this morning...
"The Lord, Jesus Christ taught that we should seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and leave the things the world seek to God to be added unto us.
Nothing deals with our selfish nature as that. Seeking the kingdom of God isn't seeking our own personal kingdoms and empires as we see many children and ministers of God do today. The ministry has become someone's ministry, the church has become the pastor's church, it isn't the household of God anymore. Competition and rat race between Churches and ministries. Ministries swallowing up ministries, churches annexing Churches as franchises, we aren't anymore better than the fast food or the banking industry, in fact our own competition is fiercer because no civil laws control things...
Look at our new found prayer system, spiritual warfare isn't against principalities and powers anymore but against brothers and sisters as we suspect people wanting to kill us to take over our ministries and churches... People are ready to step out of Christ to get things to fight others as they compete for positions...
But a house divided against itself shall not stand and when a wise builder as Christ is the one building you can't divide the house, you'll rather be expunged and spewed out from His mouth... Christ isn't divided, so said the scriptures meaning those in division stand in danger of losing their places in Him
We need to caution ourselves. We ask and receive not because we ask to consume on our lusts...we consume each other as we bite and devour each other...God doesn't answer prayers prayed to consume on personal lusts but when you ask for selfish reasons and you get what you ask for be careful that you haven't started having fellowship with the world of darkness... Satan too answers prayers...
This is a timely warning. We aren't sent to compete with one another. Denominationalism isn't the perfect will of God. Church membership isn't either but membership in the body of Christ. Success is about obeying God and not in how many members or branches we have... Are you doing the will of God or not? Are you seeking the kingdom or yours? Is God, the Father of Jesus Christ your God or your belly is? Are you pursuing a personal ambition or seeking to fulfill a true mandate of God?
We shouldn't wait till the day of judgement to discover, we must examine ourselves now..."
