Hello brethren am delighted to be with you once again, today am here to present to you the summary of what I learnt during the zoom Meeting on Mass Indoctrination of our Lord Jesus Christ Day #11 25-10-2021.
There are two tables; table of God and table of devil, you have to choose one, you can't be on the two sides.
1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
The church is a table .
The good things we do are commandments of God.
Philemon 1:21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
In a true church of God, we need to learn how to do things voluntarily.
Isaiah 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.
Are there things in the Bible we should do voluntarily.
Numbers 30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
Vows are things that are voluntarily but we must fulfill it as the Apostles did.
Acts 18:18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
We must be true to our vows.
Ecclesiastes 5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.5:5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Why Do God Leave Some Decisions To His Children
Tithing is not a doctrine of Christ.
2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians8:7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
Offering should not be imposed on members but it should be voluntarily.
Mark 12:41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
In the true church there is no fixed price. We should not be forced to give offering but it must be done willingly.
Psalm 116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
Thanksgiving is a vow done by men and God is well pleased when we give out things willingly. For whoever offer sacrifice of praise do it to God.
Psalm 50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
It is God commandment to be thankful.
There are so many reasons to give thanks to God
1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
We need to learn how to give willingly and be thankful and praise God in all things.
