LMAO!

So because someone misses church for one day, they need deliverance? Heavens!

No wonder so many people are being led astray.

did anyone ever ask how sunday came about as a day of worship
and why do u feel funny when u dont go to church on sundays?
paul said that some of u believe that one day is holy and some of you believe that every day but as long as it is done to the lord. do not forsake the gathering didnt say tht dont go to church on sunday.

Dear poster, if you have been going to church all your live like you claimed, and also a good christian, like you also claimed but suddenly you just turned to dislike going to the church, then I will remind you of the fact that perilous time are here, 2 tim 3:1-5 also 1 tim 4, when men will have all the reasons in the world to desist from the things of God. I agree with a lot of posters that most of the churches have lost her focus but it is not an excuse for anyone to stop going to church, The fact that churches are losing focus is the more reason why I, as a person seeks to serve God the more and even attend church the more, did you say why? because it confirms to me that the end times are here and that is why people, church inclusive are losing focus, Let me humbly give the following advice:
1. GET A LIVING CHURCH IF YOU FEEL GOD IS LEADING YOU AWAY FROM YOUR CHURCH
2. STAY BACK AND SHOW EXAMPLE TO BELIEVERS IF YOU FEEL GOD IS NOT LEADING YOU OUT OF YOUR CHURCH
3. DONT GO TO CHURCH BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE GOING BUT RATHER GO BECAUSE SCRIPTURE ENCOURAGES IT
4. HOLD ON TO THE END, HE THAT ENDURES TO THE END SHALL BE CROWNED

IT IS WELL WITH YOU.

everyone has focused on Sunday church. What about all the other services during the week? If people are saying Gamine needs deliverance for missing Sunday church, can we honestly say we attend all other weekly services faithfully and see them as equally important, because they are. i believe mid week bible study or night vigil is as important as sunday service.

this has been my point, we see sunday service as ' a place to show' almost as a ritual but forsake the gathering of the brethren on other days.

i say again that it is better to go to church than not to go, but we must not become legalistic, so my conclusion is to love God and all services of the week will be important to you.

It is the plan of Satan not to have anyone go to church to more about God. His strategy is to weaken your desire to want God each time Sunday comes. To shake this spell on you, you will need to constantly pray, study the Bible daily and meditate on what you study. By God's grace, you will be delivered from this chain Satan has placed you. I know this because, I have often find myself in the same situation. It is only as I daily pray, study God's word and meditate on it am I able to over come Satan's strong hands on me. Take heart, I will be praying for you.

I see nothing wrong in either not going to church or going to church.

The last time I checked, churches dont have a special box where they keep God and bring him out on Sunday. I see more of an issue if you cant feel or hear God/Spirit without going to church. Maybe sometimes people only feel at their spiritual height at church, because thats the only time they are deliberately open to it.

To be honest much of what goes on in churches has nothing whatsoever to do with God or spirituality. its more of a play on emotions than anything else IMO.

I feel it does help some people to just socialise and have a chat with others, but its something you can do any day of the week. People shouldn't really try to make it into what its not.
Re: I Don't Feel Like Going To Church: What's Wrong? by revlanre(m): 11:51am On Jul 16, 2008
According to Ephesians 4 vs
2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. 3 Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. 4 For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. 5 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 and one God and Father, who is over all and in all and living through all

SO u know see the Importance of Togetherness fellowship, even in Genesis chapter 1 ,the first word God spoke was Lets US, so as to strengthing ur faith u need other Christian Brothers
Re: I Don't Feel Like Going To Church: What's Wrong? by Gamine(f): 1:46pm On Jul 16, 2008
i never said anything about not needing Christian brothers.

Its all about The Spirit working in one's life.
Re: I Don't Feel Like Going To Church: What's Wrong? by skyone(m): 4:05pm On Jul 16, 2008
Incase you are still there, first check your spiritual life if it is in line with the Holy spirit; if it's not, 'then go for deliverance.

A normal christian with a clean spirit must always have the desire and strength to worship God, especially where two or more people are gathered.
Re: I Don't Feel Like Going To Church: What's Wrong? by Gamine(f): 4:09pm On Jul 16, 2008
This Skyone person.

Call ur pastor let him come n gimme deliverance.

You people can yan some nonsense sometimes in the name of God.

choi!
Re: I Don't Feel Like Going To Church: What's Wrong? by skyone(m): 4:22pm On Jul 16, 2008
This is the more reason you needed to go for deliverance, until u'r delivered then you will know it is normal for any

rightful christian to feel strong and joyful to attend church on a Sunday or any other day for true worhip of the Almighty God.

Oma ga o. Well it happens 'sometimes' but we
have to fight it i guess.

My hunch is you are making too much Money
and you feel you don't need God?

Re: I Don't Feel Like Going To Church: What's Wrong? by Gamine(f): 4:36pm On Jul 16, 2008

God knows what you are talking about here, we are discussing about sunday service you you come with money matter abi na wetin be this one self. Are you from the moon.

Ewie! i wish i was even making money

Madam Gamine honestly if u are still been lazy about going to church on a sunday truly and speaking you need super-effective deliverance trust me. By the way i have delivered myself as we all need one, no crime in it.
Re: I Don't Feel Like Going To Church: What's Wrong? by Gamine(f): 5:31pm On Jul 16, 2008
Skyone, deliver your self once again by reading well!

You are a latecomer, do the right thing!
Re: I Don't Feel Like Going To Church: What's Wrong? by Sisikill: 8:32pm On Jul 16, 2008
Gamine! The order has come from above that you need deliverance.

To start you off on a series of deliverance sessions,

I'd like you to sing this song at least 5 times a day and make sure you mean it.

Create in me a clean heart oh God
And renew a right spirit within me
Create in me a clean heart oh God
And renew a right spirit within me

Cast me not away
From thy presence oh Lord
Take not thy Holy Spirit from me
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation
And renew a right spirit within me


This ought to satisfy Mr. Skyone, the self-appointed Patron Saint of Sunday Sunday Church Goers, whom I'm beginning to suspect would love nothing more than to have you head on a silver platter. . . that's how grave he thinks you crime is.
Re: I Don't Feel Like Going To Church: What's Wrong? by Gamine(f): 8:50am On Jul 17, 2008
LOL.

Wow someone atlast with a solution

Now i can be delivered and be on my way to becoming

the Sunday-Sunday tonicd believer i should be! cheesy

whether you go to church on sunday or moonday na u sabi, but remember our day of reckoning is at hand and every man for himself. So if you wish go to church or if you wish you can continue hailing the devil.

Faith comes by hearing the word of God!
What better place to get the word than from a Church?
Re: I Don't Feel Like Going To Church: What's Wrong? by booklover: 10:41am On Jul 18, 2008
i understand, jare, was having the same problem myself but the amazing thing is when i get there, I feel like i'm home. so i guess its's better late than never.

Just force urself there and u won't regret it, I assure u.

Even though TTG was by force, it was fun sometimes. don't deny it.

Okay, seriously. . . she didn't feel like going to church for one sunday and you're are talking about deliverance?

Pray tell what you'll diagnose for the people you think are witches and ogbanjes? Their heads chopped off?

You know who is in need of deliverance. . . YOU, to purge out what it is giving you impression that you are in a position to measure someone's spiritual life.

If you are interested, I'll be more than happy to set up a plan for you.

It is called The Getting Over Yourself Package

A'ight, this is obviously worse than i thought to so I'm gonna upgrade you to The You Need To Seriously Get over Yourself, ASAP Package

No need to thank me, we'll just think of this as my humble contribution to the The Ridding the World of Judgmental Prigs Foundation.

@skyone

check your logic?

Premise1: Those that go not to church hail the devil
Premise2: Skyone does not go to church

Conclusion: Skyone hails the devil

John 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

Nichodemus, Mathias, Paul, Barnabas were not a part of Christ's initial ministry . . . were they hailing the devil?

I don't know if any1 has mentioned this, but most people go to church to get something, good things like blessing, word of God, encouragement etc. But the there is more joy and fulfilment in giving than receiving (not talking money here).

why not join a group in church where you can be a blessing so you won't just be going to church just to get blessed but to b a blessing to some1. this worked for me. I felt more useful and needed.

Spot-on. Thats what I tried but working in the office am in makes it so impossible. Sadly sad, I have turned a bench-warmer (and I dont even go every sunday)

oya leave me alone grin
Re: I Don't Feel Like Going To Church: What's Wrong? by redox: 11:07pm On Jul 18, 2008
well in the real context my brother, you are the church, where you dont feel like going is just a gathering of believers. But as you have said, if truely you are a Christian, you will remember that the Bible says do not forsake the gathering of yourselves.You just have to sit and think of it yourself that what will be your Job on sundays when all other belivers are worshipping their God. well my piece of advice is that you just pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal what is relly wrong. with Love and cheers. ubc_min1@yahoo.com
