There are four ways through which a church can evolve, but only one is right.<\/p>\n<p>1. AN EMPIRE: This is the first kind of a wrong church which emerges from the decision of a man to start a church God hasn\u2019t sent him to start. This could be a result of personal ambition or identifying a need.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Maturity may help identify a need, but it is God\u2019s calling upon a man that equips him or her to meet that need.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This may also manifest when someone with great natural abilities assumes he is better than the man called by God. When a man starts this kind of church, it is an empire, and it will be a fraud that lacks the backing and authentic power of God.<\/p>\n<p>2. A CLUB: This is a church founded by a group of people that decide to do something for God. An example is the tower of Babel. When people decide to have a church for God without the Lord\u2019s authorisation, they would have a club. It could have the semblance of a church and a collegiate spirit but will lack a father\u2019s voice and it will not be a church supported by God.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-simple\">\n<p><strong>PRAYER<\/strong>: Lord, I receive the truths You are showing me this month concerning my church membership in Jesus\u2019 name.
