Teacher: Pastor Joseph Ola

Preached on 9 November 2023

Tenets 10 & 11:

• 10. The possibility of falling from Grace. (Rom 11:20-22; Col. 1:21-23; Heb 6:4-6; 10:26-29; 38-39: 2 Pet. 2:20-22).
• 11. The Obligatory nature of Tithes and Offerings. (Gen. 14;20; 28:22; Prov. 3:9-10; Mai. 3:10; I Cor. 16:2; 2 Cor. 9:6-7; Heb 7:1-10).

Rules of Conduct

1. Never come to the House of Cod without praying before coming (Matt 6:6, 7; Eph 6:18).
2. Be in your seat at the commencement of the service. You will thus be a good example to those that are late and neglectful (Gen 22:5; Psa. 108:2; Prov. 8:17).
3. Bring your children with you to the House of God, relatives, servants also have souls. It is your duty and privilege to take care of them (Gen 18:19; Ex. 20:10; Matt. 11:4; John 1:41, 45; Act. 10:24).
4. Make the pastor your personal friend. His sympathy, support and counsel are needed by you, constantly pray for him (Joel 2:17; Mal. 2:7; Rom 15:30; 2Cor. 1:11; Eph. 6:19; 1 Thess. 2; 7; Heb 13:17).
5. Make the church your spiritual home (Psa. 133:1; Acts 2:46, 47).
6. When conserving on heart, never speak disrespect or criticisingly of God’s servant, or the ministrations. In the presence of your children if you sow to the wind, you may expect to reap the whirl wind (Pro. 22:8; Hos. 8:7; Gal. 6:7).
7. Take your Bible with you to the House of the Lord (Psa. 1:2; 119:16, 72; Rom. 15:4; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17).
8. Enter reverently: pray fervently; listen attentively; give praise from a grateful heart, and worship God in the beauty of his Holiness (Psa. 118:27-29; Eccles. 5:1; Rom. 12:11; James 1:19).

“Enter his gate with thanksgiving, and into His court with praise; be thanks unto Him and bless His Name” (Psa 100:4)
