The Gift Of Accountabilty

Week 4 Day 2

God has shown us that us many times that we can do nothing without him. Some of us have wanted to do so much for Christ that we make a plan that we feel make the body of Christ work better. That we can change lives as Christ did. Though we pray about it many times we may go forth with the plan, never really taking the time to hear or get direction from God to execute the plan according to his plan. Then we face a crushing defeat when it does not work out. Which shows us that we can do nothing without Christ. Also that we should never do anything without direct leadership and without the proper framework.

God Works Through Others

Often through that fellowship others speak a God anointed word to you that helps you see a problem clearly or make the right decisions. Christian friends can help hold you accountable for times when we get off course. The can remind you what the word says. The Father works through others in the church to accomplish His will in your life.

Christ’s love can flow through you to them. You can help them be all Christ’s wants them to be. Fellowship reminds you of the importance of your relationships with others.
