Jesus did not come to build churches on this earth. Neither did He command His disciples to build churches. Jesus came to save the lost, He came to take the sins of the world away, to make man free from sin, to reconcile us with God, to make you and me free from sin, to make us children of God who can live in utter holiness. Whenever Jesus healed somebody He said:”Go sin no more so that something more serious does not happen to you.” Our problem is sin.
The church system is a wicked man made system. The fellowship of the believers is when those who love Jesus, who follow Him, when they come together, when they meet up, wherever it might be, in a house or on the street. That is the fellowship of the believers because they have got something to talk about, they love Jesus. There is nothing wrong with meeting in a building, calling that a house of prayer, getting together to pray.
The first believers met in houses, they met wherever they came across each other, they didn't build churches, they didn't build tabernacles. We ourselves are the tabernacle of Christ. Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us, He does not live in buildings built with hands. He is spirit, He lives in those who follow Him, He abides in them by His Spirit. The Holy Spirit unites with our spirit and guides us into the will of God – it is a spiritual connection. It is not about physical things, buildings and assets on this earth.
A Christian is not called to “come to church.” A disciple is an ordinary man, a normal man doing an ordinary job but he is living a godly life and his ear belongs to Jesus. He lives to please Jesus. Firstly he live righteously, holy and in close relationship with Jesus. He prays and he listens to the Holy Spirit that God puts inside of Him, in his heart. He lives to please Jesus, he prays and he testifies, he brings other people to Jesus. Its not about a church. That is a wicked parasite system made by people who want to make themselves a living by exploiting other people. Jesus never did that, His apostles worked. Paul worked with his own hands. He did not call us to be parasites. He called us to work. If a man does not work he cannot eat and if Jesus calls you to preach He will look after you but you don't need a church system. We have got to make disciples of Jesus, people who worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
The Samaritan woman asked Jesus where they should worship, in Jerusalem or where? He said, “not here, not in Jerusalem but the time is coming that the true worshipers will worship God in Spirit and in truth,” EVERYWHERE, wherever they are! Why? Because they have the Spirit of God inside of them, they are led by the Spirit of God. Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God and they follow Jesus wherever He goes. Where Jesus is there they will also be, because Jesus is in them. He is not in a church, wherever they come together it is the fellowship of the saints! Not in some building, that is the world's system that is satan's system, that is not God's system. Don't be deceived! You and I are the temple of the Holy Spirit, we are holy and Jesus lives in us and Jesus must be seen in us. And as Jesus walked this earth and manifested the will of God, so we must also be manifesting the will of God. Jesus must be seen in us, not in a church.
May Jesus bless you.
