PART OF THE PROCESS

The church is a gathering of the faithful. Its purpose is to encourage, uphold and support its members among other things. It's members in turn uphold it in prayer and participation. It is groundfor every member to exalt the Lord with what He has given them ability to do. In it, mediocrity is not one of the criteria taken into consideration. Wholeheartedness is only what is considered and that is all what the Lord looks for. As much as it is important for regular and off'n on programmes to happen, getting the job done shouldn't be where the emphasis is laid. The Lord appreciates service but requires participation from the church-which calls for commitment.

A Church should have its greatest impact within its four walls. When that is achieved the impact will be felt, multiplied by its strength, outside. It nurtures and should be nurtured back in turn. People who stand by it in event of good, bad, exciting and boring times. There is no provision that one should but they inherit the role of nurturing it. They nurture it until they have nurtured the next in line. That's the way it's supposed to work. Their service is not to the Church but to God. No kind of response should change their interest in performing this duty.

It needs to be understood that failure on ones part shouldn't stop the cycle otherwise the system breaks. Each one of us should play our part and not let that hinder us. Blaming and pointing fingers doesn't help. Compromising only weakens the system. We should remember that we arenot accountable to anyone down here for anything we do. There is the Man up above whom we are to live for. As much as He is our master, He is our father and brother too. In our service to Him, He wants to enjoy, and he wants us to enjoy too, the communion that it brings.
