REINFORCING THE WALL OF THE STEEMCHURCH THROUGH STEEMCHURCH FELLOWSHIP(SCF). my first suggestion toward the development of the steemchurch.

in #steemchurch6 years ago

greeting to everyone @steemchurch, here is another suggestion I've been thinking about lately and I will be glad to see an amazing response from our great leader @sirknight.

1 Peter 2:9-10The Apostle Peter writes, “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”

You see, the Church is not an altar, not a sanctuary, not a fellowship hall. We are the Church. We are the Church at work. We are the Church at play. We are the Church at rest. We are God’s chosen means to reach the lost with the good news of Jesus Christ… and each one of us has an important role to play.

In Acts 2:42 we read that one of the four things the early church devoted itself to was “fellowship.” Fellowship was a very important part of their reason for meeting together. It was one of their objectives. 

But what is Christian  fellowship?

Christian fellowship is the mutually beneficial relationship between Christians, who can’t have the identical relationship with those outside the faith.

The mystery and privilege that is Christian fellowship is that it exists because God has enabled it by His grace. Those who believe the gospel are united in the Spirit through Christ to the Father, and that unity is the basis of fellowship.

we are called into fellowship with God, with Christ, and with the Holy Spirit. And of course there is the blessed fellowship that saints enjoy with one another.

When the Lord prayed that all of his disciples might be “one,” he implied the warm fellowship that should prevail among them. Happily, the disciples “continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship ”. Indeed, the “multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul” (Acts 4:32).

Christian fellowship is critical! Being in the company of people who think like you do is very important to your growth and survival as a Christian.

When You Commit to and Embrace Fellowship with God’s people:

1.You demonstrate a sincere love for Jesus.

2.You receive the encouragement of harmony.Rom. 15:5

3.You experience mutual acceptance among radically different people. Rom. 15:7

4.You use your newfound freedom for the loving service of others. 

5.You receive God-given opportunities to develop patience. 

6.You become aware of God-given opportunities to grow in kindness and forgiving others. 

7.You receive mutual encouragement and growth that comes from corporate worship before God.

It’s time to reinforce  the Church. It’s time to become the sent missionary people we were always created to be. To speak of the good news to among brethren, not just on steemit alone,  to the world outside here. 

By this the crusade for freedom will be more actualised.  It is crusade it supposed to be loud and clear and sound not just within the steemchurch community but to those in bondage. 

Fellowship with those we know and do not know will bring back that intimacy with Christ.

 Suggested ways to accomplished this project.

The steemchurch has a several ways/channels in which the steemchurch fellowship (SCF) can be done such as:  sc-n, sc-g , the steemchurch website, the discord channel, telegram and whatsapp groups. Another suggestion is meeting for fellowships withing states,  campus fellowship initative in various colleges and universities.

Thanks for your time.

Special thanks to @sirknight, @dwayne16 @jaff8 @abiye @druids and the likes. Thanks to all parishioners who have been feeding the member of the steemchurch with the blessings and benefits of Christ. God bless you all

This is a welcome suggestion, as i believe it will bring about positive impact to even non-steemians, drawing them even more closer to God.

That's a good initiative. I would suggest you take the first step and start one in your neighbourhood. But that not withstanding, SteemChurch is meant to be on a blockchain while influencing those offline.

Thanks for your contribution to SteemChurch, we are glad to have you here.

You can do well to check other posts on the SteemChurch tag.

You're making a whole lot of sense here, you see the thing is, we are the church, the parishioners and the apostles alike, and not the building or the structure that we imagine.
We as members of this great community share @sirknight's amazing vision and that's reaching the world with STEEM.
In order to do this we have to bring people under the terbanacle of God, teaching and tutoring them like Paul the apostle instructed the people of Corinth as well, In other words preaching God's undiluted words from doorstep to doorstep, as part of our primary purpose as Christians and believers.
Your suggestion is totally beautiful really, I do however appreciate your creativity and talent towards birthing this.

This is a good suggesstion and one of the ways of bringing people closer under the umbrella of #steemchurch. Through this, relationships will be built and the love of God will keep increasing within His people.
May God continue to uphold His church as we keep fellowshiping with each other.

You really thought it well by coming up with this.
We achieve more when we fellowship with each other. We build cordial relationship when we fellowship with each others.
There is always power in union and it will definitely help to reach out to more people and establish the love of Christ within us. "Forsake not the fellowship of each other"

Wow, what a wonderful idea of yours, indeed this beautiful idea will go a long way of touching the lifes of steemians in a positive ways.
God bles you for this.
Thanks for sharing.

Another great way of having a communion with one another. Nice one @ladywayne1. This would surely bring the parishioners together and promote the word as well.

Definitely in line with the vision.

This is a great initiative
We are the church that God has established to reach out to people and to walk in one accord in order to fulfill the mission of preaching the gospel and reaching out to people.
#SCF will really go a long way in bringing people together outside blockchain.
