ORGANS AND MANAGEMENT OF OUR WORSHIP

The management of Christian worship is necessity and demands urgent attention if the church shall surve, grow and expand. The worship can not be sweet and successful with out proper management and proper arrangement.

(i) WHAT IS MANAGEMENT PF WORSHIP?

The management of Christian worship is to put things inorder and to fix things according to their functions and according to their times. It is fixing spiritual things for spiritual purpose, material things for material purpose, physical thing for physical purposes, monetary issues for monetary purpose and human issues to personal purpose. It is fixing proper time for the functioning of things in the church and during the worship of the saints. The under listed worship programmes shall be put inorder at their proper times and in their proper places.  We love progress and success in our worship.

(ii)WORSHIP AND PRAYERS

Every thing in church worship must start with prayers, either collectively, individually or led by some one on behalf of the fellowship. There should be an opening prayers and closing prayers in every gathering of the church, whither for worship, meeting, visitation or outing. Prayer should be the first and the last programme in the church worship on earth.


(iii)CHORUSES AND PRAISES

Choruses and praises are inevitable parts of the Christian worship. Choruses and praises should be assigned to the talented or gifted spiritual members of the fellowship. Tithes and offerings are conducted during fervent choruses and inspired praises in the church and a responding prayers by the clergy shall follow after the choruses and praises and after tithing and offerings. Choruses and praises are the continuous sacrifices of our hearts to God, which our God in turn inspires and motives our spirits to be closer to Him and to say “YES” to His order. 

(iv)ANNOUNCEMENTS DURING WORSHIP

There must be announcements on the weekly programmes, things needed to come, issues to know, good news, wedding, child dedication, death, meetings, things to do or things to avoid including reading of letters or welcoming new visitors, newly wedded, newly returned or announcement on government orders. Announcement is an important issue in Christian gathering. Announcement shall be made with polite voice, mild spirit by a gentle, mature and spiritual believer appointed by the pastor or minister in-charge.

(v)WORSHIP AND TIME MANAGEMENT

Apart from the preacher’s sermon (message) all other programmes during Christian worship must be designated with specific times and the fellowship must have specific time to start and specific time to close on each of its programme in the church? Time consumption kills interest diminishes the church, disorganizes the heart, weakens the emotions and drains the joy of the fellowship resulting to the dwindling of the entire church programmes.


(vi)PREACHING’S AND TEACHING

The preaching’s and teachings must cover all areas of the scriptures, bringing life, joy and hope to the worshippers. People must be blessed in each of the Christian worships they are involved. The sermons and Bible expositions must cover all areas of mans needs including salvation, sanctification, spirituality, faith, healing, deliverance, stewardship, miracles, prosperity, eternity, righteousness, family living, education, soul winning, giving and steady motivation to live for and to love JESUS. One sided sermon kills and drains interest, confuses worshippers resulting to dwarfish growth of the members.

(vii)MANAGEMENT OF MINISTRIES

The management of Christian ministries is an important aspect of Christian worship. This means knowing what are lacking, what are needed and how to put things inorder within the ministries. It is important to know when prayer is needed, when evangelism is needed, when praises are needed, when deliverance is needed, the types of teachings or sermons needed in particular times and the types of personnel needed to solve one problem or the other. When there are problems in the church, the solution should be sought, the issues to solve the problems and the personnel to solve the problems should be seriously be sought inorder to bring lasting solution.

(viii)ALTAR MANAGEMENT AND ALTAR WORKERS

Altar workers are very important church workers in the face of Christian worship. Altar workers are the helpers of the pastor at the altar. Their lives shall be characterized with spirituality, piety, sincerity, holiness, prayerfulness, dutifulness diligence, obedience, love and always in friendship with

JESUS and the Holy Ghost. They are the earliest to come to the church and last to leave the church. They shall work according to the orders and directives of the pastor. Altar management involves using the altar workers to achieve the needed desire of the altar. To manage the altar means to equip the altar workers and engage them in what they are called to do.


(ix)MUSIC GROUP

The music group of the church is an important department of the Christian worship. This is the group that produces praises, songs and melodies to the church. The chorister is a practical example of the music department of the church. The Christian worship is incomplete without praises, songs, melodies and heart touching voices like those of King David and Asaph in our Bible. Enough time should be given to the songs and praises during the worship of the believers either on Sunday or any other day of the Christian gathering. Believers should rejoice in the presence of the Lord during praises and worships.

(x)DRAMMER GROUP

Despite the present DVD, VCD and other videos available today, the issues of drammer has not lost its power, meaning or its influence in Christian worship. Drammer has not lost its weight and value in Christian ministry and the gospel at large. Spiritual and mature men and women should be selected for drammer in order to act and to convert and convince sinners and to strengthen the believers. The purpose of drammer in Christian worship is to convert sinners and to equip the believers and to show case the evil activities of Satan in the society and to use that as a means to deliver the demon possessed or the oppressed. It is a practical message of its self in the church. 

(xi)MEN’S FELLOWSHIP

The men’s fellowship in the church is a group or gathering of men, especially the adult men for the specific purpose of soul winning, building the church, supporting the ministers and helping the needy when necessary. Men’s fellowship in the church shall be headed by a spiritual and benevolent Christian in the church.

The teachers of Sunday school shall be mature, spiritual, educated, trained, wise and eloquent members of the church whose aims shall be to win sinners and to build the believers in the holy faith.

(xv)CHURCH BOARDS

There are many or different boards in the church, though, denominations defer.

Church boards are decision making body which have the highest authority of their specific denomination.

The incomes of the church are the products of tithes, offerings, thanksgiving, pledges, Giving, free will supports, fund raisings, missionary supports, individual donations, specific vows or any other godly means. The church finance and all monetary incomes shall be deposited to the care if a sincere, holy, educated, righteous and well articulated treasurer approved by the church on the ground of his or her honesty. Bank deposit through the treasurer is also a divisible. The records of all incomes, disbursements, deficit, balance and receipts of expenditures are kept securely by the treasurer and account of all that were spent shall be given by the treasurer when such duty is called. The treasurer is not the sole controller of the church money. The pastor is the over all manager of the church money and every other thing in relation to the church. No cash should be spent from the church purse without the approval and the signature of the pastor.

(xviii)CHURCH EVANGELISM TEAM

The church is called to evangelize and to win souls for the Lord. The supreme task of the church is Evangelism. It is either evangelism or nothing. The church is either called evangelical or evangelistic board or nor of God. The church is not existing if it is not evangelizing. To actualize evangelism, the church shall map out evangelical team with zealous men and women headed by a hot and diligent soul winner whose works shall be to go out for evangelism, morning cry, street by street preaching, open air preaching, tract sharing, market evangelism, mobile preaching and who shall stand as active force to move the entire church for two by two evangelism, for crusades, for general church soul winning activities in the church. The church shall from time to time, map out huge amount of money for evangelism every year. The budget for evangelism shall be the highest of all and new souls won shall be the highest progress report of the church every year. The numerical increase is the greatest victory of the church. The apostles had no testimony of their jeep cars, nor testimonies of their big church houses, but testimonies of multitude joining the church, more souls repenting and all numerical additions to the church and that what we need also, therefore GO YE

The Christian prayer band is selected and called men and women whose duties are prayers. Spiritual men and women whose duties are to call upon God daily on behalf of their pastor, their church, the church ministries, families of the church, the nations, government, their church services and the growth of their church.

Following the above structures, principles and the guidelines including putting the above needed organs in our ministries which shall make our churches, ministries or fellowship to grow, survive and be more active. Pray that God should help us follow this theology of Christian worship as directed above. Step by step in JESUS name.  

OUR STAND ON PROSPERITY PREACHING WITHOUT SALVATION

While we believe that our God is the God of prosperity, God that prospers and promotes His people, God of miracles and God that heals and delivers. God’s power has no comparison, still, we believer upon all these, that salvation is the first step of God’s miracles, while obedience is the key to Gods blessing, miracles, promotions and prosperities. Deut 28;1-15, Deut 11:26-28, Ps 1;1-6, Mtt 6:33. Based on this Truth we believe that the purpose of Jesus coming to this earth, is to seek and save sinners and messages of salvation should first be preached to sinners and not prosperity Mtt 1:21, Lk 19:10. Our stand on pulpit preaching is to preach the messages of repentance, salvation, Rapture, love, holiness and sermons that can prepare the people for heaven before sermons that can help them be rich on earth with salvation. We believed that earthly riches without salvation is hellish riches which amount to regret and loss at last. We therefore reject and disregard sermons of the present modern preachers on prosperity and blessings without repentance and without salvation. JESUS atonement at the cross of Calvary cover all about man’s needs including salvation sanctification, healing, deliverance, promotion, prosperity and miracles but salvation shall be sought first in our lives before any other thing and not money first Mtt 6:33.
