What The Bible Say About The Living Church

The Living Church

But one day, she meets a man called Jesus who is the pastor of the Jerusalem Church. In that church, they don’t serve natural water: they serve living water. When you drink living water, you never thirst again. As a result, people in the Jerusalem Church are not seeking to be rich, to be married, to have children, or to get jobs. In that church, people are simply seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
In the Jerusalem Church, some are rich and some are poor. Some are married and some are not. Some have jobs and some have none. But it does not make a difference because the haves uphold the have-nots: “As it is written, ‘He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.’” (2 Corinthians 8:15).
As a result, with Jesus as their pastor, they lacked nothing. Everyone was his brother’s keeper. There were no frustrated members. All were full of the joy of the Lord. Even when some of them died in a bus accident, they did not lose their joy. Even when El-Gaddai demolished the Abuja branch of the church, they counted it all joy. Even when some religious fanatics attacked some of their members and destroyed their property, they rejoiced and were exceedingly glad. They joyfully accepted the hands of providence knowing they had a better and more enduring inheritance in heaven. (Hebrews 10:34).
When the people in the Jerusalem church have prayer meetings, they don’t ask for bread or for fish. They ask for the Holy Spirit. When they fast, it is not because they are looking for jobs, money, wives or husbands, but because they are looking for God. At their prayer meetings, they don’t spend time fighting demons and all manner of household enemies. When they have prayer meetings, their emphasis is on worshiping God and fellow-shipping with him.
When the Samaritan woman heard about Jesus’ Jerusalem Church, she decided to stop going to Mount Gerizim. In fact, she went about preaching to others about this new living church. Within days, many in Samaria were persuaded.
