THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT

Written by Peter Mukwena. Posted in Living Concepts

THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT IS ALIVE AND WELL

In this Living Concept episode Overseer MUKWENA ministers on a sermon entitled, THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT IS ALIVE AND WELL.

It starts with the song NDIYE JESU y Fungisai Mashavave Zvakavapano and Tarira Nguva by SHUVAI Wutawunashe and also features, The Church Triumpant by Bill Gaither and company.

The Overseer reads the BIBLE from: Matthew 6:18 and Acts 2:47, 9:31, 16:5

Ministry of the word goes as follows:

Societies are generally declining in integrity, safety and security as vice, violence and crime increases in developed and developing nations.

What is the hope for the world?

It is the church, which can bring Jesus' gospel of salvation, deliverance, forgiveness and reconciliation.

See your church as the hope of your society and world at large.

Jesus said, "I will build My church and the gates of Hades will not overpower it." in (Matthew 6:18).

Your church is God's church, it is Jesus church as he said.

The church is His vessel to reach the world, and we believe it should be one of the most effective, exciting, and healthy organizations on the planet, no matter how battered it may be.

In Acts, throughout the birth and the expansion of the church, we see such Godly passion in leadership, as exemplified by Apostle Peter and Paul. The members had readiness to preach the gospel and had powerful unity among all those involved. They were empowered by the Holy Spirit in effectiveness to reach more people for Christ.

You and I are the ongoing story of the Church.

We must continue to go "to the ends of the earth", even if it means for you it is to preach next door.

Be passionate about your church and be committed to its health and growth.

Your church is Jesus' church still it ought to be said of it, "Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied." (Acts 9:31 KJV).

As you read God’s Word, be reminded and encouraged by the power and momentum of God’s Church.

Pray for and settle for nothing less than healthy churches according to Acts 16:5,
"So were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily."

Pray for each of your church leaders and members by name that they will continue to be an invincible from for the kingdom of God.

Believe God that the church will be like the early church which lived, "Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." (Acts 2:47 KJV).

episode ends with the song The Church Triumhpant (lyrics below)

THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT IS ALIVE AND WELL. (Lyrics).
By Bill Gaither and friends.m

Chorus:
Let the Church be the Church, let the people rejoice.
Oh, we've settled the question,
We've made our choice.
Let the anthems ring out, Songs of victory swell
For the Church triumphant is alive and well.

Verse:
This ship's been through battles before
Storms and tempests and rocks on the shore
Tho' the hull may be battered,
Inside it's safe and dry
It will carry its cargo to the port in the sky.

Chorus:
Let the Church be the Church, let the people rejoice.
Oh, we've settled the question,
We've made our choice.
Let the anthems ring out, Songs of victory swell
For the Church triumphant is alive and well.
Is alive, is alive, is alive. For the Church triumphant is alive and well.
