Investing Into Your Heavenly Account 6

<p>&nbsp;Saturday 23rd January 2021&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>A beautiful Saturday to you in the name of Jesus.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>We trust God, you are beginning to practice the spiritual disciplines. We've been talking about investing in our heavenly account and we're talking about the place of discipline, we have spoken about inward discipline and outward discipline, and &nbsp;today we will be discussing the corporate discipline.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>The corporate discipline are the disciplines that bring believers closer together in fellowship with one another and to God, it helps us develop a sense of community. Our Christian faith is about family, so it's about fellowship, is about living together with one another peacefully and we have four practices under this.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>The first one is Confession.</p> <p>Why do you make confession?</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>It’s important that we ae at peace with God and with one another and confessing our wrongs both to God and to one one another is one way to do that.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>James 5:16 (NLT) 16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>From this scripture, we can see the cleansing and healing power of confession. When we confess our sins to one another, it brings peace, wholeness and healing to our life. And in the next part of the verse says the earnest prayer of a righteous man has great power. Why? When there is no sin between us and no sin with God, it is easy for prayer to get answered.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>The second one is Worship and what do we mean by worship?&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>In Acts of Apostles 2: 42-47 gives an idea of what makes up our worship. When we see what the apostles practiced in the early church, praying together, study together, communion, breaking bread
