T<\/span>here is a divine purpose behind the Church. The Church is not just the four walls of a building. It is a place where God is doing something in the lives of His people. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see some of the purposes for Jesus\u2019 establishment of the Church.<\/p>\n

1. TO BRING MANY SONS OF GOD INTO THE GLORY LEVEL OF LIFE (Heb. 2:10): Every human being, starts life by living at sin level, but God wants us to come to the level of His glory. As we begin to grow, God introduces us to the Church\u2019s structure.<\/p>\n

\n

When we embrace the programme of the Church, something begins to happen in our lives.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

2. TO PREPARE A BRIDE FOR THE GROOM (2 Cor. 11:2-4): Spiritually, every believer is to be prepared as a bride for Christ. A church that is not preparing its members as a bride for Christ is preparing them for the antichrist. Today, many preachers have come on the scene that are preaching another Jesus to the Church; preaching a Jesus that allows people to live in sin and misbehave and still allows them to make heaven. <\/p>\n

3. PREPARE A PEOPLE READY FOR THE LORD THEIR GOD (Luk. 1:17): The Church is to fulfil this through the ministry of men of God who will call people to take heed to things they are overlooking in these last days. Preparing the people for the Lord is preparing the people for the Master, the Judge. Jesus has come as a Saviour once, now He is coming as a judge.<\/p>\n

4. THE CHURCH IS THE DIVINE FACTORY FOR DIVINE PRODUCTS (1 Kin. 6:7): The Church is the divine factory where destiny specifications are given. It is a divine factory where God brings people to be made according to divine specifications.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

PRAYER<\/strong>: Lord, show me the destiny and purpose of my church membership in Jesus\u2019 name. Amen!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\t\t
