Pastors And Ther Christians In The Hous, Your Contribution Is Needed by Ever8090: 1:34pm On Feb 11
Is it ok .if you love God soo much and want to have a personal relationship with him outside the church?

This might be as result of, you not gotten a church that preaches to appeal to your soul. For instance you are in need of spiritual messages to draw you into a realm of the spirit, spirituality to experience the mysteries of God but many of the churches you ever attended is all about material things aka ( prosperity preachings?...the Catholic you were born in, you become nor comfortable with the prayer to Mary and the saints whom you believe are dead and waiting for resurrection.

You try Jehovah witness but realise they are hypocrite who don't practice what they preach and their self righteousness is on another level.

In all this, what you need is just to have a personal relationship with your creator and to encounter him in an extra ordinary way.

So, will it be ok if you decide to study the word of God on your own and become a none denominational preacher who teaches people the undiluted word of God and not be tied to the doctrine of a particular church?

The reason for the church in the first place was for believers to come together and talk about the gospel
The pastor only serves as the head and guidance
If you no fit find one join then teach yourself
The bible is really sweet
If na lie you go find for there you go see am

You are correct.infact, God wants relationship first, before anything But it is also easy to slip away and fotget about Him in totality, so, be careful

yeah...I have started preaching what I have learnt so far to people in busses, the kind of gospel I will like to preach is pure salvation I don't want to attach any financial gains to it .I have a hand work that God has given me, though and I pray God will provide for me trough my handwork and not using preaching to earn a living.

The first time I preach in a vehicle, a woman was singing along the Christian music from the car stereo , she never cared at first but later gave attention. When she dropped she gave me 200 naira as her offering I rejected it , but she pleaded it was from her heart I should not reject it. I collected and asked the people in the vehicle if anyone was short of transport but no one came forward so I added money to it and paid for my transport.

The second time after preaching I asked if their is anyone in the vehicle that 1000 can be of help to, a teenage girl said she will need it and I gave it to her.

That is the kind of gospel I will like to preach. Entirely without material gain.

You see, I will really want to be a preacher and not just a church member

as much as I can remember, I am someone who never goes a day without thinking about God, all my life as much as I can remember.

And honestly, any preaching that goes eve just little to material things makes me soo uncomfortable.

I have started preaching in vehicles if I am on transit and each time I finish preaching I fill fulfilled.

After preaching I don't accept money rather I give if I have.

Pls I till need your advice on this pattern too

You are on track. You are not alone. There are many of us who do not find fulfillment with the level of Christian practice and doctrines in the body and do so in isolation. What matters is that you maintain your purity and your walk with The Father.


Preaching is goid because it is an outlet to also distribute part of what The HolySpirit fills you with. You are on track. In good time you will find a Christian fellowship or mentor thru with you will be nourished spiritually. It takes seeking and recognizing wheb God brings you in connection to know you have found it. Remember Elisha and Elijah initial connection amd how Elisha recognized Elijah as His mentor from the first time even without knowing him before hand

The spirit is calling you to serve.

you are about to open a ministry that will change the false narrative the so-called men of god have created to scam people of their MONEY.

if you can, please embark on a 40 day dusk to dawn (6am to 6pm) fasting and prayer to seek God's guidance and counseling on HOW TO SERVE HIM. during the fasting period, include mid night prayers starting 12am on the dot, calling on the holy name - YASHUA to guide you to serve him, calling on the holy and sacred name YHWH with deep obeisance and meditation asking for revelations and guidance. Calling on Adonai to rule over your life and direct your foot step in the right direction. Meditate on the books of Elijah, Ezekiel, Daniel and Isaiah, study all the books of Moses. Study in depth all the books of apostle Paul. also look for the book of Enoch (not in the bible) and study it in-depth so you will be exposed to the works of other angels and spirits.

Before the end of the stated period, you will be approached and told what to do.

Please remember you are to abstain from sex throughout this 40 days fasting. If you comply by it, you will come out a chosen prophet and servant of the Most High.

May the one pushing you to his service guide you in the right part.

NOTE: am not a pastor or anything.

Sure!

Its been long i went to church. i think since the abominations started in 2014 or so, i dont remember. But i remember the days of the outpouring and all that was taught then. i still have my bulletins of 2002 and thereabouts. But i remember what the Spirit taught then.

If you live the Godly life, you will find that you do not have time to preach those fake preachings people do for you would see what the bible says shall happen to you and you would see why Christ Said, the world cannot hear you. And therefore you won't have time doing all those fake things which people think they can do to bribe and deceieve God.

honestly those preachings pushed me away from God and I pray that God will crate for me a platform to get to them loud and clear, I pray the message of God through me will bring confusion in their midst that most of them will drop the nonsense

Hello

You have good intentions, but please note the following:

1. To fully serve God, you need to be part of a fellowship of believers. God is raising a family and He has no desire in solo-worship. God loves community, so worshipping Him in the midst of fellow believers is a must. See Eph 2:19

2. You are doing well by preaching the gospel. But salvation is not enough. Jesus gave the commandment that we should go into all the world and 1) preach the gospel; 2) make disciples and teach them the ways of God. See Matt 28:19-20. In other words, even when you have successfully won a soul to Christ, you can't leave the person like that. It is important to teach the person the ways of Christ. Once you gather two or three people to teach them the way of Christ, you have a church already. Church isn't about buildings or large crowds. Church is simply a gathering of believers...regardless of the number.

3. As touching prosperity, I concur that there are preachers who overly concentrate on that but that does not remove the fact that God wants His people to flourish. Of a truth, the gospel is far more than financial gains; but when you consider the father of faith, Abraham, he wasn't poor, was he? And apparently it was God who made him wealthy.

The fact that someone had a car accident doesn't mean we shouldn't ride cars. So the fact that some preachers have a misplaced priority on materialism does not mean God does not want to bless His people - financially and materially.

No church on earth is perfect and that includes you. Find those you are comfortable with sir and do you bit.

Heb 10:25:
" Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching."



The church is like a massive hospital with both the sick and medical personnel. Go in and use your gifts to edify the church which is the body of Christ!

Which God? If what you are attempting is a personal relationship with the deity of the religion of Christianity— then you might as well be formulating your cult/denomination to add to the over 47,000 sects/denominations that make up the religion. undecided

If na Amadioha that you wish to have a personal relationship with then commonsense would be to go straight to the texts that apply to find out exactly what Amadioha himself decrees of those who would desire such a communion with him and then do as he commands. You can't just do anything you hear and like, only to then tell us that Amadioha has to accept it since you purposed to do it all for his sake. Abi no be so? undecided

Read again! If what you are trying to do is taking the doctrines and traditions— theological ideas of your gods of men — of the religion of Christianity into your personal space— what you tag a personal relationship— all you most likely end up doing is converting from one of the over 47,000 sects/cults/denominations that make up the religion of Christianity today to another. The results from that will pretty much be not that much different from the results of the other sects of Christianity including the one you are thinking to convert from. undecided
