1 Chronicles 12:19-14:17, Romans 1:1-17, Psalms 9:13-20, Proverbs 19 :4-5
What God said to me – Too often today people choose the church they attend based on what they “get” out of it – do they like the music – is the preacher “good” – is the facility comfortable. However, the church is My body and one of its purposes is to build one another up so that every believer matures in their faith as a believer and grow in their faith as they use their gifts to minister to each other. Paul wrote to the church in Rome of his desire to come to them not just to impart some spiritual gift to them so they could be established, but so that they could encourage him and minister to him, each of them by the other’s faith. So, when you are praying about where you should go to church, don’t just look at what you get out of it or how much you enjoy it, but look for how you fit into the body – how you can use your spiritual gifts to minister and to build up the body. It is not about you – it is about Me so find where you can worship and also build up My body so that “I AM” glorified.
