Your Main church started with less than 10 members! so if u can't attend it, chances are there that you cant manage liltle things from the scratch!

tosyne2much:
As for me I don't think it matters at all. However, what matters most is your service and movement with God


You can worship in a church with a thousand members but anointing and may not flow, and on the other hand, you may worship a church with few members and you start exeperiencing unexpected signs and wonders.


To a broad view, the numeric capacity of a church has nothing whatsoever to do with your christian life. What you should be more concerned about is "are they preaching the word of God as regards to the Bible?" "Do they pray in the church ?, do they place so much emphasis on salvation than money making ?


If the answers to the above questions are YESes, my brother dust your Bible and continue worshipping in that church.


I hope this helps. Cheers !!!

Is it crowd you. Want to worship or God?

Every church ought to grow ,if you're expressing concern in that direction it's pure enough but when you talk about leaving because of crowd then you have a wrong motive.

There are several reason why a church may remain small ..

1 if the church is not evangelical in structure
2 if the teaching is not improving lives
3. If the follow up structure and visitation is defective .

Remember that you are part of the growth of the church . You and other members ought to go out and get souls won . Every big church was once small.

How many people have you invited/converted since you joined the church?

analice107:

Is Joeagbaje still in naira land? Comment more often sir. You inspire me. God bless you sir.

tpiar:


I have nothing against Joagbaje but rather than be inspired by him, why not be inspired by Christ.

Joagbaje:


Oga we can inspire one another na . It's scriptural.

2 Corinthians 9:2
. . . .and your zeal hath provoked very many.Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain

tpiar:


explain the verse you are quoting and why you quoted it.

tpiar:
the problem with him worshiping you instead of worshiping Christ is when you go astray, you will lead him to do the same.

You should not encourage people to focus on you instead of your creator.

phonematter:



word.


Your posts are always so thoughtful and you are an empathetic person, those are great qualities although of course not everyone knows what they mean.

Joagbaje:

Paul said their action provoked or inspired many people. So nothing wrong in being inspired by someone else.

He also said to provoke one another unto good work. That' also mean to inspire one another.

Paul taught others to emulate his faith or be followers of him . While you Call it worship it is really being inspired or motivated by another. Person.

Chuksworld:
been attending for over a year now and still no improvement.

analice107:

Sir, am not a him, am a she. That said.
Where did you get worship from?
Sir, am not a him, am a her.
And, to inspire and to worship are two different things.

Inspire means to give somebody the desire, zeal, Confidence, motivation, or enthusiasm to do something.

To worship means the practice of submitting oneself to God, or highly respecting God or a god, by saying prayers or incantations, singing and dancing in ceremonies which also involves rituals.

Sir, I know what human worship is. Am not a baby Christian. I know why I said he inspire me. He is very humble and that's a trait must of us Christians lack, so I like that in him, and I wish to also be as humble.
If you were in the thread I made reference to, and see how it all went down, you end understand. I never knew him before then, but I was really inspired at how he responded to all the insults to hi person. Am still saying it.
