💥💥 THE DANGER OF THE CHURCH: REPLACING GOD’S PRESENCE WITH PROGRAMS Perhaps this is one of the greatest warnings for the Church today. We can become so passionate about the activities of God that we eventually neglect the God of those activities. We can have: * prayer programs * all-night prayer meetings * conferences * retreats * crusades * church services * concerts * evangelistic campaigns * and much more… and yet gradually lose our hunger for God. The program is not bad. But the program must never replace God’s presence. The Early Church was not simply looking for ways to organize meetings. They were seeking to live with Christ. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.Acts 2:42 And the result? And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:47 Notice the order:God transforms people, and then God adds people. We must therefore ask ourselves:Are we truly seeking the growth of the Church, or are we simply seeking the growth of our gatherings? 💥 LEARN TO EXAMINE THE FOUNDATIONS Acts 19:40 ultimately pushes us to ask an essential question:What is the foundation of all this? Test everything. Hold on to what is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 A mature believer does not follow blindly. 👉🏽 *They examine. 👉🏽 They discern. 👉🏽They pray. 👉🏽 They verify. Then they act. 👉🏽 Before sharing information, ask: Is it true? 👉🏽 Before following a movement: Is it biblical? 👉🏽 Before joining a cause: What are its motives? 👉🏽 Before accepting a manifestation as coming from God: What fruit does it produce? 👉🏽 Before seeking an experience: Does it truly draw me closer to Jesus? Because our ultimate reference should never be an experience. Our ultimate reference must be the Word of God. #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Bible #GodsWord #Christianity #ChristianLife #ChristianFaith #Church #BodyOfChrist #PresenceOfGod #SeekGod #BiblicalTruth #BibleTruth #Discernment #SpiritualDiscernment #ChristianTeaching #ChristianInspiration #ChristianMotivation #Prayer #Faith #KingdomOfGod #JesusChrist #Acts1940 #Acts242 #Acts247 #1Thessalonians521#ThesecretBible

“This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” — Luke 22:19 We gathered to remember His sacrifice, proclaim His death, and celebrate His grace. صلیب ہمیں یاد دلاتی ہے کہ مسیح کی قربانی کافی ہے۔ HOLY COMMUNION SERVICE ✝️ Last Friday, we gathered together in faith and unity to remember the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. His body was broken for us. His blood was shed for us. His grace has brought us together as one family. Holy Communion reminds us of the Cross, strengthens our faith, and calls us to live in unity and love. “For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.” — 1 Corinthians 11:26 Thank you to everyone who joined Intercession Worship Ministry (IWM) for this special time of worship, remembrance, and fellowship. ❤️ پاک شراکت کی خصوصی عبادتی سروس ✝️ گزشتہ جمعہ ہم ایمان اور اتحاد کے ساتھ جمع ہوئے تاکہ اپنے خداوند یسوع مسیح کی عظیم قربانی کو یاد کریں۔ اُس کا بدن ہمارے لیے توڑا گیا، اُس کا خون ہمارے لیے بہایا گیا، اور اُس کا فضل ہمیں ایک خاندان کی طرح جوڑتا ہے۔ پاک شراکت ہمیں صلیب کی یاد دلاتی ہے، ہمارے ایمان کو مضبوط کرتی ہے اور ہمیں محبت، اتحاد اور وفاداری کے ساتھ مسیح کے پیچھے چلنے کی دعوت دیتی ہے۔ “کیونکہ جتنی بار تم یہ روٹی کھاتے اور یہ پیالہ پیتے ہو خداوند کی موت کا اظہار کرتے ہو جب تک کہ وہ آئے۔” — 1 کرنتھیوں 11:26 #IntercessionWorshipMinistry #IWM #HolyCommunion #CommunionService #HolyCommunionService #RememberHisSacrifice #JesusChrist #JesusIsLord #TheCross #PowerOfTheCross #BodyOfChrist #FaithAndUnity #WorshipTogether #ChristianWorship #WorshipMinistry #ChurchFamily #ChristianCommunity #Communion #RememberJesus #GrowTogether #FaithInChrist #JesusSaves #Gospel #Christianity #LahoreChurch #پاک_شراکت #HolyCommunion #یسوع_مسیح #JesusChrist #مسیح_کی_قربانی
