STAY BLESSED IN THE LORD AND and in his living WORD!
The only reason I can leave a local church is if they do not teach the basic doctrine of the faith. But I won't leave church in general. I'll simply change my local church
Most churches today are basically preaching about how to have your needs met. If one is ok, based on the preachings in most today , there is no need going if you are comfortable. Also as you rightly said most are a cult of personality, the personality being the G.O. It is all about him, trying to please him or be in his good books. There is no effort to train people to be Christlike . It is all about material success . Forgetting 1cor15:19. Most are subtly fanning covetousness, but it is being disguised as faith.
It has become so difficult to find a local assembly in which the focus is solely to live, learn and grow into the image of our Lord Jesus the Christ.
"Pastors" would follow blindly a system, pattern, tradition of their high esteemed mentors or spiritual fathers over the implementation of the holy doctrine of the Lord Jesus the Christ. That's is just sickening.
So many denominations here and there but only to find no unity among so called servant of the same master.
I think a big challenge for applying church discipline in our time is the sheer size of our congregations. Sometimes certain people who are relatively unknown in the church are brought to light via some negative thing they've done, essentially tatnishing their image. There is a lack of intimacy that makes the disciplinary action feel like a shaming tactic and not corrsctive and towards redemption. Its like when your parents rebuke you in front of strangers. It breeds a feeling of betrayal by the congregation.
Love is the key to church growth. People wants to feel loved. Love includes generosity, caring for others, 1 Corinthians 13
Discipline must be effected in the church without compromise, however the approach must be well taken gently and in love.
Galatians 6:1 tells that such actions be done gently.
The issue must also be well explained like in 1 Corinthians 5:5, the action is only for the salvation of the Spirit. Though Jonah was cast into the sea as a displinary action yet his soul was preserved.
Applying Ephesians 4:15 where we tell the truth in love and show no partiality in dealing with such issues, the members will gladly welcome all these disciplinary actions as important. After all it’s better to enter heaven maimed than to miss heaven whole
Anytime we do
I needed this 🙌 I am so blessed to hear you every single day.. Please do sermons as well because some of us we might not be able to hear you preach in church
In my experience, i have seen elders who were guilty of sexual perversion but are quick to put a condemning ticket on people who get pregnant. Think about an old lady who has all kids out of wedlock with different men but insulting a young girl and calling her cheap for getting pregnant...like how
This is my opinion: I have been in church for a very long time now, and this has been my observation especially disciplining those who get pregnant out of wedlock... More often than not,it is those vulnerable ladies... In most cases these ladies are going through hardships, some unemployed;being fed by their boyfriends,their boyfriends are those renting for them sometimes and in most cases church authorities will close their eyes on these ladies going through difficult times but will quickly come and sanction them which I think is not the best if indeed we are seriously interested in the harvest of souls for Christ.... I can also tell you that in most cases Ladies who are not gurus of the game are those who get pregnant ,those who have been doing these things will usually find their way out of pregnancy..... Also because of the fear of being disciplined at church,the ladies will take medicines to avoid getting pregnant..... So if someone got pregnant out of these hardships and gets disciplined ,what are we doing to those who are using medicines to clear it because they were all involved in the same act.... A proper and a better way should be adopted in love...
If you are in church to observe the actions of people, you'll never belong to a local church because the truth is, every church has its own problems. The church is an assembly of imperfect people and one should not expect perfection. That's why the church should be out to teach us Christ so that we can become like him.
Look unto Jesus while in your local church. Don't look at people.
Concerning putting people at a particular seat for pregnancy,...i disagree in the fact that it tend to bring no change of heart. Discipline done in love will have no element of shaming u infront of everyone. At that moment, you have no idea the trauma the person might be going through. The trauma alone is like 1 million shaming so adding to it only builds resenment.
What should be done is view as Christ would do, with welcoming arms as the Father welcomed the prodigal son. Showing that grace, overwhelm the person at the receiving end and thereby fostering a change of heart when the realise the deserve to be condemned but was shown grace.
That is it, you can come into the church, the way you are & expected to change, as time goes on. When the word of God, is retained in one's heart, it affects our behaviour the God way.
You can discipline someone but don't destroy them by badmouthing them publicly!
Thanks Ever So Much For Caring Enough To Address And React To The Reasons Why Some People Stopped Going To Church. Thanks For Stepping Up To The Plate. Its Very Admirable And Noble Of You.... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! 👍
Some of the discipline measures breeds hypocrites sometimes
God bless You, Sir!❤
Hmmmmmm Pastor God bless you. Very true they are talking about their job
Kasari is Yoruba translation of Caeser in the Bible ...leave what is kasari to kasari means give what belong to Caeser to Caeser
Unfortunately many pastors, prophets... are seing themselves as above other brothers in the Lord, and would want to be revered and to be called daddys😢.
I'm blessed. God bless you.
Pastor God bless you for your message
God bless you sir. More Grace
I agree with the brother or sister too much
Thank you for this episode of going through some reasons people stop going to church. On another note i also prefer to hear the other side (pastor or church side) concerning the individual's complains. Because we now live in a generation where its easy to take offense on anything. As long as we do not like something we bash and criticize it. For example, some people expect a pastor to be there for them 24/7 after the death of a loved one, but the same pastor has other families in the church going through other things that needs his attention, talk less of his own family as well.
Thank you Pastor God bless
Glory!!! Always enlightening and blessings 🙌 🙏
There were much emphasis on money instead of preaching the Gospel. we were asked to contribute specific amount for the building of our retiring pastor's house. Names of those who paid were being mentioned every sunday during announcement.
this was my reason but i have returned.
Thank GOD for this message....
Very well done!
Why is such discipline reserved for young people sleeping around ?and not people who gossip ,lie,break down the church,people who beat they wives, thieves ?always we regard some sins as worthy of attention and some not.I honestly think if we were to give each sin the same discipline that it deserves maybe the church will be empty ?Truth be told usually that disciplinary action does nothing to the people and True repentance and conviction cannot come from the disciplinary actions of men but the Spirit of the Lord himself .
Hmmmm! This Church elections. Ɛyɛ asɛm oo (it's a big issue).
Great sir
Blessings...
Different places have different laws and principles. If you have been in a house for long, 3 months +, you should know their laws and obey. If they are very strict on dressing code do so, if they say women don't seat in the front follow. As so far as it is not anti-scriptural and doctrine just obey.
In my church now, there has been a change of pastors with in our local church and most of the members are home n they not coming,if u ask them ? They say on less their pastor are back ,it a problem oo help
Very insightful
"Kesari" is a Yoruba interpretation of "Ceaser".
Khesari means Ceasor that Roman King.
On a serious note some think their church is better than others
Please talk on polygamy biblically. Is it a sin for a man to marry more than one?
Pls if you can not stay home and fellowship, then where do we go. since all the Churches are deviating .
I stand to be corrected, not all churches. Why you think so, is because the true churches & pastors are not popular & not big so, people thinks, they don't know what they are doing.
@@abayomiagunbiade3711 thank you
My friend, not all Churches are deviating.
Don’t be a blind man
Pastor Gideon, I salute. Thanks for producing content like this.
My issue has to do with the brothers and sisters who fornicate and then give birth. It's rather unfortunate how church hasn't done justice to how they handle such issues.
Some members as you said are made to sit at the back of the church, while others are prevented from taking communion and participating in regular church activities.
The handling of such issues, per my observation doesn't lend credence to the love we profess as Christians.
I hope we'll become better as time goes on.
Personally.. I think.. this issue. Need to be addressed ## in that.. the church as a body has regulations and discipline sections that deal with this .. ## it's not different from a child being in school and misbehaving... When you are not caught you go free.. but when you are .. the school as a discipline body deals with you per their regulations....
Its not that different from the church... But yet.. what I think is.. it must not affect that person's spiritual growth ... Like taking a communion etc... Its a no no for me .. yet you can discipline the person by taking things with instituted by the church from them as means of discipline
Hoping I was able to put across the explanation well . Typing long can worry 😂😂
Everything wrong with the church today is rooted in the absense of DISCIPLESHIP.
You antis so so true but they are
Some of those who leave church because someone is disciplined for fornicating are actually fornicating themselves but have not been caught yet.
That’s someway somehow true
They don’t know what is called “being caught”. To them, they’re not thieves.
But I personally think their pastors should teach them how to live godly
But, in all this, it depends, on what an individual wants because, there are still churches & pastors on cause everywhere but, people/youths wont go to such churches because, they are not famous like others & the words been preached is not what they want to hear. Its unfortunate. Jesus is forever Holy, right & constant so, no one should stay off church because of some pastor's abnormalities. We really need to pray, for the youth of our days, I totally believe, they are the ones under attack been yhe future of the church, why will someone leave the church, because another is disciplined? Its a sign such people are yet to meet Jesus or have an encounter with him, they only have an encounter with the church/pastors.
Kesari is Caesar lol
Which church will you recommend, Pastor Gideon? Or it's not right for you to do so?
The bible used the word Assembly. Bible Fellowshipping or gathering with other like minded believer for the purpose of bible studies is also an assembly. You don't need a church to grow!
I believe the issue of fornication must be addressed based on the level of growth of the individual involved. You cannot discipline a baby Christian like you would someone you expect to know better. However in all this, we should avoid this isolation of people who fall in sin. There should always be a restoration mechanism added to the punishment.
Do christians GO to church
I just wanted to talk abou5that tongue they are forcing people to speak in tongues
“The church” is very hypocritical and made up of a lot of selfish goats. I’ve not seen one single church that does what Jesus did or expects us to do. Not one!
It’s very painful
Please i need your contact Pastor.
God bless you Pastor. Please what's your Twitter handle
