Order in the House of God – Pastor Chris Olusegun Onakinya (Saints Community Church)
Mark 11:15-17 KJV
[15] And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16] And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17] And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
There’s an urgent need to educate many believers on the reason for and function of the local church .
You can’t be adapting His house to your contemporary views .
Paul warned
1 Timothy 3:15 KJV
[15] But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
It’s His house not ours ,we form / make the house for Him
Ephesians 2:21-22 KJV
[21] In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: [22] In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
You can’t rearrange His house for Him
Hence ,He warned folks in the four gospels ( highlighted above)
He sat down and TAUGHT the scriptures !
Before you host a program in church gatherings check with the scriptures not some philosophy of ” is there any thing wrong ?!
That’s not your business!
Yours is to do all things in order
1 Corinthians 14:40 KJV
[40] Let all things be done decently and in order.
Order means accordingly .According to scriptures .
Once again ,it’s His house not ours
You are blessed
