FOP VII: Ten (10) Reasons Why the Church is a Family Part 4

The church is the Household of God. Household is defined as a the house and all its occupants regarded as a family or a unit. This clearly shows that, a church is a spiritual family under God’s authority through His Servant the anointed. So the anointed runs the family on God’s commands or instructions on His behalf (1 Timothy 3:15 NLT).The Church is the Family or Household of Faith (Galatians 6:9-10).The Church is not just any family, it is the family of God but most importantly the household of faith. It is a household of believers or faith-filled people. And we are encouraged that when we get the opportunity we should do good to all such.

FOP V: Ten (10) Reasons Why the Church is a Family Part 2

5. The institution of Heaven is called Family and the institution of the church Here on Earth is also called Family.Both institutions or gatherings are not just the coming together of spirit beings or human beings but the intentional building of a family in heaven and on earth and both families are made possible by the obedience, sacrifice and blood of Jesus Christ. So both families are named after Him (Ephesians 3:14-15, Hebrews 12:1, 22-24).6. God knows Every Family Member (2 Timothy 2:17-19).And God knows all His family members. God cares about every one of His family members. There is no member of God’s family that is forgotten or not known.Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and challenging teaching from our father!
 
 
 
 
 
 

FOP IV: Ten (10) Reasons Why the Church is a Family Part 1

The Church is the Family or Household of Faith (Galatians 6:9-10 NLT).The Church is not just any family, it is the family of God but most importantly the household of faith. It is a household of believers or faith-filled people. And we are encouraged that when we get the opportunity we should do good to all such. However there two strategies the enemy uses to squeeze faith out of the house of God. Why has the church of God become so faithless in these end times? I tell you why, Satan is squeezing faith Hope of Christians through two strategic weapons;The Weapon of Weariness•Weariness is defined as extreme tiredness (fatigue). •Weariness is reluctance to see or experience any more of something.•Weariness is to be utterly spiritless or exhausted (completely used up).The Weapon of Fainting•Inability to rightly perceive sight, smell or sound. When you get to this stage you cannot spiritually smell, see or hear anything good coming your way out of the good things you do in the house of God or good you do to the people of God.•Feeling weak and dizzy and close to losing consciousness. When you faint, you become weak spiritually or discouraged from doing good and probably advised yourself to stop doing good in the house of God or to the people of God.This is how Satan squeeze faith, life and hope out of Christians that before their miracle comes for all the good things they are doing for the house God.Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and challenging teaching from our father!
 
 
 
 
 

FOP III: Eating the Body and Drinking the Blood Unworthily

What does it mean to eat and drink unworthily? The word “Unworthily” as used in the passage is the Greek Word “anaxiōs” which means;•To eat and drink the communion in an unworthy manner or a manner that is not deserving of your respect and attention.•To eat and drink the communion irreverently or without any sense of sacredness or holiness.How to Eat the Body and Drink the Blood Unworthily?Treating the Holy Communion as Ordinary, Common or as a RitualMany believers approach the Holy Communion as a religious routine or ritual rather than a sacred participation in Christ.—They take the bread and cup casually;—They have no reverence in their hearts for the sacrifice of Christ;—They eat and drink without remembering Christ or worshipping Him in their hearts.The Holy Communion represents the broken body and shed blood of Christ. When this is ignored, the Body is not discerned.Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and challenging teaching from our father!

FOP II: How to Discern the Lord’s Body

To discern the Lord’s body means to rightly recognize, understand, and treat with reverence what the body of the Lord represents, especially during the Lord’s Supper (Communion).1. Discern the Lord’s Body by Recognizing the Lord’s Sufferings Before and on the Cross. •To discern the Lord’s body is to recognize that the bread represents the physical body of Jesus Christ that was given and broken for our salvation.•To discern the Lord’s body is to acknowledge the beatings and the bruises on his body as part of what makes up the token of the Lord’s body. He was actually beaten. His body came under severe abuse and maltreatment all because of us. It is critical therefore to always remember the suffering of Christ whenever you approach his body.(Mathew 26:27 NLT, Isaiah 52:14 NLT, Isaiah 53:2, 5 NLT).2. Discern the Lord’s Body by Understanding that His body was given for the forgiveness of sins.The body of Jesus Christ was given to the world as a living sacrifice to bring about forgiveness of sins. Jesus needed to be beaten and crucified because without the shedding of blood, there is no remission or forgiveness of sins.(Hebrews 9:22 NLT, Isaiah 52:14 NLT).Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and challenging teaching from our father!

MOS Ladies: Prophesy to These Bones

1. Every physical problem no matter what it is has a spiritual source or connection to something spiritual. This means that, the solutions to physical problems are hidden in the spirit.2. So until you deal with the spiritual source of the problem, you will not change your physical circumstances. 3. Dry bones represent a prolonged situation of hopelessness without any solution. No man who is hopeless can help himself except God helps Him.4. However God said to the Prophet to speak and prophesy upon these bones and say them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. I will cause breath to enter into you and you will live.Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and challenging teaching from our father!

Some Things to Note About Communion 1. The Holy Communion can only be potent when there is soberness, holiness and reverence for what the communion represents not for other purposes (1 Corinthians 11:17, 20).2.

Whenever you eat the holy communion, you are showing, announcing, declaring or identifying with the death of God.
