Whether you have been serving Jesus for decades, or if you find yourself new to the faith you can help strengthen the church as a whole. Over the years I have realized there are some common threads that runs through vibrant, healthy, growing churches. And, I believe if the individual believer can implement these five pillars they will strengthen themselves...thus strengthening the local church...which strengthens the body of Christ.
There are Five Pillars of Strength every beliver should practice, and every local should offer to those involved. Teach these principles and watch what happens!
PILLAR I: Prayer! Prayer is where we tap into the power of God. Act 2 the disciples gathered in the Upper Room...the power of God falls...thousands come to Christ! Prayer brings power!
PILLAR II: Worship! Worship is the time we most often encounter Gods presence. Scripture declares that God lives in the praises of His people. Worship helps develop intimacy with God.
PILLAR III: Word! Faith is built as we learn the Word of God! Get in the Word on a regular basis.
PILLAR IV: Fellowship! We need each other! I have found that healthy churches create opportunities to develop healthy Christian relationships.
PILLAR V: Involvement! God has given each of us a gift that we may utilize to serve within the body of Christ. Every believer should be involved in some aspect of the ministy of the local church.
Take time to rest
