GO WHERE YOUR HEART LEADS YOU

[Pastor Dave]

As I write these facts I am not running any church or domination down. I am just writing facts as I see it, read about it, believe in it or hear about it. God is our judge and He will Judge everyone when the time comes.

I can’t go, I am catholic, I can’t go my parents will not let me, we are baptise, We can’t go there we are church of England. I can’t go to a house church as I already go to a proper church. These are some of the mails I have received in the past and now again over the last week or so, about going to a house church meeting.

WHAT IS STOPPING YOU?

I thought and what I read in the Bible, God gave us a free will. I can’t means you are not allowed to; I choose not to, is a different meaning altogether.

What is stopping you? What you need to ask your self, forget about what church you go to, forget about what denomination you belong to. ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?, DO YOU FOLLOW WHAT IT TEACHES YOU IN THE BIBLE?, DO YOU FOLLOW JESUS? I very much hope you have answered YES to all three.

Now I ask, do you know what religion Jesus was? The answer as most of us know is NONE, He was and still is head of the whole Church. “CHRISTIAN.” The first ever Christians was the Disciples of Jesus. Christian means “A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST Acts 11: 26. You may be born a Catholic, a Jew or some other religion but you can Choose to be a Christian if you wish, and let God guide you in your walk with Him. Religion WILL NOT get you into heaven, ONLY confessing your sins and following what the Bible teaches us will get us there.

HOUSE CHURCH IS A PROPER CHURCH

Did Jesus go into big buildings called Church? NO there was no such thing at this time nor was there for another 300 years after Jesus went to be with His Father.

It is written, that the earliest Christians met in houses. The book of Acts regularly describes Christian assemblies taking place in peoples' homes (Acts 2:42; 5:42; 20:20). Church meetings are recorded in the homes of John's mother (Acts 12:12), Lydia (Acts 16:40), Aquilla and Priscilla (Rom. 16:3-5; 1 Cor. 16:19), Gaius (Rom. 16:23), Nympha (Col. 4:15), and Philemon (Philem. 2).

Jesus and His disciples went from house to house, in the hills, up the mountains or wherever there were people it did not matter what they were or where they came from. And if He was here today in person you would find Him going to peoples houses even if they were Jews, Catholics, baptise or whatever, black, white, dirty, clean, lepers, bad, good, or whatever He will mix with them and fellowship together.

We believe that the reason none of the apostles ever built a church building is because such a thing would have been considered outside of God’s will.

Building these special buildings may even have been considered a direct violation of Christ’s commandment to not lay up treasures on the earth. Jesus teaching was showing us not to waste money on things that was entirely unnecessary. House churches require virtually no money at all to operate.

Pastor, are you saying that it is wrong to go to a Church, as we know it today? NO, NO, If you are living as a Christian you can go and worship God where ever you want to, as long as you are getting the right teaching. But there is nothing in the world stopping you from visiting a house church any time you want as well, and I can tell you that in most of these house churches you will feel Jesus there among you.

I did mention about the RIGHT teachings. And I am NOT picking on Catholics here it is just showing you as I see it where I live.
Where I live, it is mostly Catholics that surround us here. Most don’t even have a Bible as they have been brought up believing that they do not need a Bible and that the place for the Bible is the church. Many have been told a Bible is only for the Preacher at Church.

Not all but a very lot of the men do as little work as they can, smoke, drink, gamble and many even fornicate; yet if they walk or ride past a catholic church, they do the sign of the cross on their body. And most think they are Christians. They have had no or the wrong teaching. And this is passed down from generation to generation and they will not change unless they can hear the true word of God and take it into their hearts.

Again I am not running born again Christians down here, far from it because I am born again. Before I came here to the Philippines in this remote part, where I now live, many white people came here and started a born again Church and gave money to help it get started. After the write teachers had gone, many Catholics came and the new pastors at this church started to get these people to tithe 10%. But instead of using some of the money to help feed the poor children and widows around here, they started buying themselves, motor bikes, cars and building nice houses for them- selves. Now most of the people have gone back to the Catholic Church as they did not like what they saw. They went back and just gave what they wanted to, even if the poor was not getting any help at least they did not have to give up their 10% to line the pockets of these pastors. AGAIN WRONG TEACHING.

Now it is even harder to bring these people back. The white teacher’s no longer come they have given up. The only white people here now apart from me and one or two others are Mormons and we know they have the wrong teachings.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, we have such a lot of work to do before we go home to our everlasting Father. Encourage people into your home to fellowship, eat and pray. This is what Jesus done; this is what thousands are now doing Praise God. More souls are being saved this way today than any other way.

Even in India all my churches are House churches and many Hindu’s come to these houses just at first to get a free meal, but praise God many hundreds are now Christian’s. It cost very little to run a house Church and any income can be used to help God’s poor people, what He shows us right through His book, the Bible.

My Brothers and sisters in Christ, go where your heart takes you, but please make sure you are getting the right teaching, make sure your church is giving to help the poor and to help evangelise the un-reached and the lost.

I will finish with this: I will teach from the Holy Bible, I will follow what Jesus have shown us, I do not hold back my tongue to get churches to help us with our mission work, if they choose not to so be it. As I say always, at the end, God is our Judge. I let God guide me; I learn and teach from His Holy Word.

All I want is for you to do the same. Let God guide you and learn from His Holy Word from Genesis Chapter 1 verse 1 to Revelation chapter 22 verse 21. Amen

[Pastor Moses Justin Nirmal Kumar]

My Brothers and sisters in Christ, go where your heart takes you, but please make sure you are getting the right teaching, make sure your church is giving to help the poor and to help evangelise the un-reached and the lost. the right teaching yes people are open to go any church they like provided not in the place where they are teaching only about money and money. Some of the bad elements project themself as the True pastors. They want to make money by the true faith of people in Jesus. Some 300 years back some missionaries landed in our Kanyakumari Dist and people who accepted Jesus as their Saviour are blessed people and they trying to followthe missionaries and now they are visiting unreached area and preaching gospel. Starting a small gathering in huts and bring people to God. I have requested a pastor to start a church in my house he refused that house church cannot suit him, At that time he was running a church in the place of a hindu temple land. When he was asked to vacate he came running to me and put of the shed in my house top floor and running the church for 5 years. Seeing this a pastor approached me and asked get him the nextdoor house to run a church. I told him that as many churches has to come so I helped him. Then the trouble started the pastor running the church in my house threatened the next door church. When I supported the otherman he got angry and vacated my premises. Their aim is self motive and hence to the poor uncared people of the society I started this Mosjos mission church from my 15years old original line of helping the sick through Mosjos healthcare Research foundation & charitable trust. By that I became a pastor. Now the next door pastor is conducting fasting and prayer to remove Mosjos mission church which has ninemore branches. I thank God for He is wonderful. Our motive and sincere aim is to evangelise the un-reached and the lost and not money. God has given me strength and courage and He has blessed me and my family. I am a happy man. I sincerely and humbly thank you for giving a good message to the people who are against house churches. Will it work? we have to wait and see but we will work on the line of our Living God and Saviour Lord Jesus Christ. Always at His dedicated feet Pastor. Moses Justin NirmalKumar
