Now That You're in Church- What Next?

Now That You're in Church- What Next?

ByDavid Adenuga

A lot of God’s children are comfortable with being born again, and especially ease with the fact that they now belong to a local assembly, a Church. But more to being born again is a call to responsibility. Every one of us has been called into a greater task in the body of Christ, and you must locate your area of function. The Church of Jesus Christ has achieved less or rather could have achieved more if every of its component parts are functioning effectively. Romans 12:5 read; “so we, being many, are one body in Christ and every one member’s one of another”. The bible says “… we are one body in Christ”. In other words, every part of the body has a role to play. You see no one part function exactly like the others, and if such parts that are meant to work for the effectual working of others are idle then, the impact of the Church is impaired. The larger numbers of people in Churches today are mere watchers, receivers, and not contributors. And there is no space for the onlookers in the body. Every part of the body was formed to perform, to ease, to encourage and strengthen other parts. When you look through the pews, you will startle. You will see amazing potentials, unused talents, and untapped gifts; men and women with so much abilities running away from the Master’s use. They would rather sing their songs in their rooms than bless the congregation with it. I believe it is the responsibility of pastors to teach the people to rather be an asset to the body than being “burdensome”, a position which some have occupied. We may not all sings, some could, but others can administrate, usher in people, greet people, conduct service for children, decorate, clean the toilet, preach for pastor, carry pastor’s bible, do protocol, coordinate service, produce good sound for service, give for ministry programs, and still counting. I mean there is no hidden place for any! I would have you know also that no part is inferior to the others; everyone is equally needed and equally important. Imagine if the toilet is not cleaned up, and the smell permeates through the service. You see no matter how anointed the congregation were they can never get the best from such service. So every part is important whether they appear in the camera or behind it.
