Some people get to look down at you if you aren't in a Department in the church or do stand a chance of loosing out of God's blessings.

I feel it's your personal relationship with God.


Is it a must to join a department in your workplace?
When it comes to religion, you people want to do the minimum, but if it's about money now, you will beg to join any available 'department' àbí?
Not wanting to be committed in a department is a sure sign that you aren't a seriously committed Christian.
Check your salvation. Whenever people get truly and thoroughly saved, serving in even more than one department becomes what they jump at without being coerced or forced.
Shalom.

It is not a Must to join a work group but it is Good to work for GOD. It pays to Serve GOD.

What is Most Important is that you don't substitute your work for GOD with your Work with GOD.

Your Work with GOD ( your Relationship with GOD) is more Important than your Work for GOD.

If your Work in the Church is affecting your Work with GOD, you better pull out from that.
are u supposed to serve God in church or just anywhere?. Ur behavior or life pattern as a whole is service. Some people are idiots and very wicked outside but they are committed to church work. That one is not service to God, it is eye service. Service to God is service to humanity, we are not doing it for any gains, God rewards anyway He likes. Mind u, some of ur good works , it is ur children that will reap them. So it is not a must to work in church, ur life must be so straight forward that men will see ur light and glorify God.

Just make sure you meditate on the word, day and night. Find People to share the word with. The holy spirit would guide you into all truth.

Be safe out there.

One thing I hate about Nigerian churches is, instead of encouraging ppl to do things, they will rather tell u to do that thing or face hell, if that was how Jesus did his thing from onset nobody will be a Christian today!

Let spirit of God, love, genuineness of heart, willingness, lead,.....

Not the gra gra that if u don't do so so so, u re wasting away...

I'm still wondering if those oyinbo and our fellow Nigerian pastor study from same bible sha

Joining a department in the church is good but not a must. The most important thing is your relationship with your God. Read and understand your Bible, don’t let any pastor fool you.

Well it's not a must but it's commendable when you think that:

Someone clean the chair you sat on

Someone is in charge of music that you danced to

The lighting and sounds were made to your comfort by someone.


Why don't you join where you can be useful to others. These are non monetary ways we can give what we have and be blessed in return

You made a half point.
As a Christian, you must not look down on anyone, no matter what.
Don't Judge.
Your statement made me realize that more Christians will end up in Hell,and more harlots,drug addicts,thieves, adulterers,etc in Heaven.

Tithe u complain, join any Dept wahala.

Yet you want to go thre on every program day to seat on clean chair, dance on clean and tiled floor�? good music instrument etc.


If others are avoiding responsibilities in house of God, who will make it be a nice place to worshiping ? Also on the day of your any ceremony that you would call church, if others are avoiding as you think, who will conduct service for you on ur D- day

Even with all the sins you and I are committing, you are still looking down at people in the House of God when you know yourself that you are not clean just as myself?

Well, you can only look down at those shorter than you, you will have to raise your head to look at those taller than you in height and in Spirit, you bloody hypocrite.

Can you truly call yourself a member of a family if you do not take up a responsibility within that family? If that were the case, would other members of your family not call you irresponsible and treat you with disdain?

While I don't subscribe to looking down at anyone or forcing people to serve in church, the fact is that you need to show some responsibility. Be a part of the work; ask how you can be of help; contribute your quota because with all hands on deck, the work becomes lighter on everyone.

You don't loose out of God's blessings when you're not in any department but it's important you find a unit/department to join in your place of worship..
How do you feel just coming every Sunday warm the bench and go home?

Be noticed, participate and also get connected to the right persons..
Got my present job as a result of being a worker in the Church.

That is bullshit... It is not a must, Don't let pastors guilt trip into joining bany department.
Let it be out of your own free will and make sure that even if you join , the church activities don't affect your personal and professional life.
The reason why I'm saying this is that the church will most likely not pay you for any services you give because according to them, "you're doing it for God".

So whether you wanna join or not is definitely up to you.


This is very important... Let's stop the lies of telling people that if they are not in a church department, they are not serving God.

While church departments make service more effective and real, they must not take the place of a true relationship with one's maker.

There are people who hide under serving in church departments to live riotous lives outside church activities believing that their work in church is enough penance.

As for those who prioritize their Church work over their careers especially when under employment... I just pity them! Even God just dey shake Him head at them!

If you really belong to a family of God - the Church. There are structures established for your growth and development. Department is just one of them. The Bible says the body makes increase by that which every joint supplies. Belonging to a department and functioning there is a service. When you go to service, you go there to serve. So, being active In a service unit in your local assembly accelerates your Christian growth. It makes you relevant in God's plan and purpose God bless you.

Yes it a must if God wants you to join one. Also, you cannot touch other effectively if you are not a church worker.

The Bible says ; give and it shall be given to you. When you give yourself to God's service, favors shall be given to you. Obtaining God's favor is not always, but our service will open doors for favors.

Testimonies of Jobs, business, marriages, contracts has come to many because of their service.
