The Church Altar

Every revival meeting should have its place where folks can meet God.We call this the "Altar." And when they had prayed the place was shaken (Acts 4:31). I visited a church the other week where it was very informal, chatty and friendly. Before the service folks walked around the sanctuary with cups of tea, soft drinks, chatting to each other and making folks fell at home! a friendly service, no God! I contrast this with my experience with the Pentecostals in Texas, before service we knelt down at the altar and prayed. after the message we went to the altar and prayed. we went out of the meeting refreshed and changed! The altar has always been the place of transformation and change. 1. The Altar is The place where we "pray through." The place where we pray until the burden is gone and the load is lifted. 2. The Altar is the place where brother strengthens brother .. and sister strengthens sister. Of course discretion is needed as to who you should pray

Good Company

When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place  by himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities. And when Jesus went out he saw a great multitude; and he He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.... He took up the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven, He blessed and broke it and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. So they all ate and were filled.(Matthew 14:13,19). In the Hebrew friendship means "responsibility" which means that a friend is not one who just enjoys the good times with you but one who supplies in the time of need when your pockets are empty. Friendship is responsibility. Good company will see the need of the other and supply till they are full. You have to have friends who are "full" of something, full of ideas, full of compassion, full of the word, full of God. Don't make a friend of an empty head make
