24 June 2014 - ENCS

The final part of the series on the church, Pastor Joey did share today
Church involves a pattern, a purpose, and a pursuit he did again say
But without participation my members, those three Ps will fall short
Because, as Pastor did emphasise, church is not a spectator sport
In Matthew sixteen, Jesus called on Peter to be the church’s rock
Against the gates of hell, the church is built to push back and block

The enemy appears as a tempter, deception, adversary, and accuser
But our participation can help ensure that the enemy will be a loser
Pastor highlighted four actions, each of which serves as an antidote
The first is to always pray, per the Matthew chapter twenty six quote
Per Matthew six verse nine, we need God’s help to resist temptation
We should pray to God, tapping into his resource via daily declaration

Meditating on the Holy Word arms us against the enemy’s deception
Per Psalm one, this applies to all aspects of our life without exception
Proclaiming our faith is by far the best way to combat condemnation
Per Romans eight, Luke two, and chapter five of the book of Galatian
Fellowshipping with other people of God helps fend off accusation
For we are stronger and able to resist the enemy when not in isolation

So in conclusion, we should pray, meditate, proclaim, and fellowship
Allowing the Holy Spirit to enter our hearts so it can continually equip
For per the Bible, the Spirit can teach, reveal, counsel, and baptise
Always illuminating the path to eternal life, which is the ultimate prize
Thus for the church to have meaning, everybody should participate
Not just in church but in our daily lives, Pastor did emphatically state
