COMMITMENT TO THE CHURCH

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24 NIV

Your commitment to the church consists of your commitment to Church Attendance, to the growth of the church and to the church needs. Like a Pastor once said "don't get promoted out of church". The moment you see the church as secondary, you are placing yourself in a very unpleasant environment. When the church is primary to you, you will be promoted on all sides. 

Let me tell you a story using four typical church members; I’ll name them: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to do and Everybody thought that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it but none of them did it, so it wasn't done. Somebody got angry because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought for sure that Somebody would do it, but Nobody asked Anybody. In the end the job wasn’t done, and Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody asked Anybody. The essence of this story is for you to realize that you cannot wait for someone else to handle your responsibility for you. You have to Trust God, and just do it with all of your heart. He is the one that gives the increase. 

We need to be committed, to giving to the church. It’s more than offerings, it’s supporting the Church, with your love, your prayers, your time, your availability, your talents and your abilities. You need to be committed.

Declare This: Lord I am committed to the work of the ministry. I will support the church on all sides till You come in Jesus name Amen.
