How to become a devoted member
Scripture: Acts 2:41-47
When church members are devoted to the church, reverential
fear of respect develops for the members, pastors and the
church.
Devotion of members to the church brings a sense of awe to the
church.
Acts 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders
and signs were done by the apostles.
Devotion to the church also brings the manifestation of the spirit
through sighs and wonders.
Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of
the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon
them all.
Devoted members receive special grace and favor from the
Lord.
Devotion to the church will also cause God to add the church.
Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people.
And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be
saved.
Devotion starts from the mind, it is a mind set, so decide in your
mind to be a devoted member to the church you belong.
How to become a devoted church member .
1. See yourself as a permanent member of a church.
If you are a permanent member, you give your best, you offer
yourself as a living sacrifice. Do not be committed to a church
because of convenience.
2. Compare your relationship to the church to that of a marriage.
Love the church just as Christ love the church. Your attitude
towards the church should be love as describe in 1 Corinthians
13:4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful
or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not
irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
It does not
rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins
out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful,
and endures through every circumstance. GOD BLESS YOU
