  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

‘’Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our maker. For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand’’ – Psalms 95 vs. 6-7


There is NO congregation of God’s people who has made living and true worship a priority that will become desolate and ruined. Physical decay can be easily noticed on its victim and the implication is to cut off the decayed part, provided the unaffected area is still useful. But the most dangerous is spiritual decay which is not easily noticed until absolute desolation takes place. This menace runs gradually until total collapse occurs and this is such that is happening in our congregational setting because we are insensitive to the lost glory that we do experience at the beginning. But the good news is that Jesus Christ can make any decayed thing NEW again.


…………..’’For He is Our God’’


He can do all things IF and only IF all focus and attention is directed towards Him again. It is an undeniable fact that great move of God in the midst of His people and even non-living things can be experienced when effective and anointed worship and praise is given unto Him without any doubt of His acts. (Acts 16 vs25 – 34).


……………’’And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand’’


Any congregation that will commit to effectively worshiping Him, will never lack direction of the Almighty God and that means such a congregation will fulfill purpose and continue to be renewed.
This is a generation that will never believe without signs and wonders and this has to take place even in our congregations with no other power than that of God.
Pastors and ministers, you don’t have to struggle on the pulpit or with your assignment IF you can see to establishing a ‘’solid in Christ’’ and functioning worship team in your congregation coupled with you not bowing down to any other god but Jesus Christ. The God that sees all heart content and is worthy to be praised will save, deliver, heal, empower, keep, bless, guide, promote and ultimately increase His church IF He can only be worshiped and praised!
