THE DEDICATED CHURCH
April Saturday 14th
Text: Acts 2:42-47
Key Verse: Ecclesiastes 5:1  Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

Dedication means committing something to someone. Setting apart to someone. It is a consecration. In this instance, it means consecrating the church to God. What does it mean to dedicate a church?

1. Dedicated to God in heaven and his Son Jesus Christ. Members are committed to love of God and his service. Psalm 73:25. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. That people that come here will love their God with all their might, and soul and mind. Matthew 22:37-38.
2. Dedicated to his word of truth, righteousness and holiness to preach and teach in this church. That this place will not give place to sin and iniquity. It shall serve as hospital for sinners. And the lord shall cause the sinners to come. 1 Timothy 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. The truth sets free. This place shall make people free from sin and iniquity. The truth sanctifies. This place shall be purified and it shall purify all who worship there. There shall be healing and deliverance here.
3. Dedicated to brotherly love and peace and unity. The blessings of God of diverse kinds shall be found here. Psalm 133:1-3.
4. Dedicated to soul winning and rescuing the perishing John 15:16  Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. That God will gather his lost sheep into the fold through this church (John 10:16).
5. It is dedicated to judgment and justice among brethren. To rebuke erring brethren and justify the righteous (1 Corinthians 6:1-8; Deuteronomy 1:16-17). A dedicated church is a church that's promising God that we will operate in accordance with your commands without compromise (Matthew 28:18-20).
6. Dedicate to prayer and fasting for the continuous work of God. My house is the house of prayer. (Luke 19:45-46).
7. Dedicated to collect tithes and offerings (Malachi 3:9-10).
8. Dedicated to brotherly fellowship and watchfulness in readiness for the Lord's return. Hebrews 10:25.

Thought for the day: The Lord is in His Holy Temple, reverence Him in worship and service.
Song for the day: The church is matching on, the gates of hell shall not prevail
Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 15-16; Luke 14:25-35

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
