Heavenly Father will have all men to be saved and to come into the knowledge of truth. We are all made out of one blood all that dwells on the face of the earth: therefore we must honor all men, regardless of their education, social or financial stand or profile, not having or showing preference above any, for we are all brethren and God is not a respecter of person: there is neither Jew or Gentile, neither slave or free, neither male or female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 1Timothy 2:4. 2 Corinthians 3:17. Acts 17:26. Galatians 3:28.1 Corinthians 14:26 – 31.
That worshippers should dwell together in peace, unity of the sprit and brotherly love in all purity before the opposite sex: in honor preferring one another in humility after Christ example: that mutual respect, orderliness and quietness, tranquility and sobriety should be maintained in the presence of God throughout the period we spend together before God whose name is holy and reverend: that such nuisance attitudes of chewing gum, eating biscuits or ringing tone disturbances of an incoming telephone calls should not be in the church: that their children crying or jumping around in the adult auditorium or place of worship should not be the case because the Lord is in his holy temple, let all flesh keep silent before him. 1 Corinthians 14:40. John 4:24. Habakkuk 2:20. Romans 12:10. 1 Thessalonians 5:14. 1 Peter 5:5. Psalms 111:9.

Therefore, let none grudge nor murmur against the preaching of the undiluted word of God while they search their hearts and pray unto God for power and grace to amend their ways and doings in the light of his word for nothing can be done against the truth, but for the truth: that men should not hold the pastor for an enemy for speaking the truth in love for the salvation of those who have ears to hear, but they can leave the church and confront the pastor if they are not indeed being fed to the full by the bread of life and for any flattering speeches, if he fail to speak the things which becomes sound doctrine, to reprove, rebuke and exhort with all longsuffering, authority and scriptures. 2 Timothy 4: 2 – 3. Titus 2: 15.
That men and women should be ready with thankfulness of hearts to receive the blessed word of God in humility as the word from God without wrestling against the word of God, dispute or murmuring against the undiluted word of God because nothing can be done against the truth, but for the truth and for the perfection of the saints: warning everyman and teaching everyman with all wisdom, that we may present everyman perfect in Christ Jesus – that the hearers of the word should pray for grace and help of the Holy –Spirit to abide and to conform their lifestyles in accordance to the word of God which is the perfect mirror to stand presentable and agreeable before God who has called them unto his eternal glory in Christ Jesus through the sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:13. 2 Peter 3:16.

That no female worshipper should preach or teach or usurp authority in the gathering of the general assembly of the saints as the scriptures says; but that they should have a cover on their head with a scarf or hat at anytime they are in the presence of God to worship and pray. This is applicable at home as well as in the church as they are expected to dress and appear before God after the same manner of the holy women of God of old time did worshipped; and not in any way dress improperly, ungodly, lustful, seductive and worldly with the chest well covered, that no part of the breasts is seen outside, and with dresses or skirts long enough to cover beyond the knees to the glory of God and the thighs are not exposed while seated to avoid scandalous report and reproach of the appearances of evil in the attire of harlots of strange clothing, revealing the delicate parts of the body in sexual display of an unconscious seductive spirit, glorifying flesh and capable to lure the opposite sex into lust or make a new believer and those who are of a weak heart to fall into moral failure and into any sexual lusts and temptation to sin. Proverbs 7:10. Deuteronomy 22:5. Genesis 35:1 – 4. 1 Corinthians 11:1 – 13. 1Timothy2:9 – 10. 1 Peter 3:1 – 5. Zephaniah 1:8. Isaiah 3:16 – 28. 1 Corinthians 14:34 – 38.

That individual should honestly and sincerely judge themselves in the light of the word of God in correspondence or comparison to the life they are actually living outside the church before they participate in the Lord’s supper (the bread and wine, representing the body of Christ broken and given for our sins; and the blood of Jesus shed on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins) that none should be compel or influence in any way to participate in such holy communion established and designed by the Lord Jesus to bless them and to increase them in grace to grow in the presence and power of God: whosoever shall eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of man shall live by him; but whosoever shall eat and drink it in an un-confessed and un-forsaken sin in unrighteousness without discerning the body of the Lord shall eats and drinks damnation unto himself. John 6:53 – 57. Matthew 26:26 – 29. 1 Corinthians 11:23 – 34.
That any unbiblical approach or practices by any church worker or leader should be exposed before the church authority or elders: that the ministering of healing and deliverance to the sick or possessed, the baptism of the Holy Spirit and other blessings of redemptive victory of the cross through grace from the gifted in the church to administer those spiritual blessings should never be paid for by anyone: none should be coerce to do anything or to give any of their substance or material good in support of the house or the work of God without their willingness and conviction by the love of God as they deems necessary from their personal decision according to the blessings of God upon them and of their capacity and means to that which they have personally purposed in their heart to give as worship offerings. Everything should be done through personal conviction and guidance of the spirit of truth in individual worshipper concerning their tithes as commanded by God for the maintenance of the house of God, and for the help of the needy in the house of God, and for those who are widows indeed. Matthew 10: 5 – 8. Acts 8:18 – 20. Isaiah 14:32. 2 Corinthians 9:6 – 7. 2 Corinthians 8:12. 1Timothy 5:9 – 10: 17 – 18. 1 Corinthians 9:1 – 14. Acts 4:32 – 37. Exodus 35:29. Malachi 3:10 – 12.
That the worshipper should avoid anything which may draw the attention of other worshippers to them rather than to Christ who must increase daily in our lives and in the assemblies of the saints in light before God who has made us partakers and inheritors of his riches in glory; that nothing should be done through strife or vainglory, but that all should live and walk as Christ’s good ambassadors and ambassadress to represent and serve his interests and fulfilling his pleasures and not otherwise, being punctual in faithfulness before God to the time of gathering, being careful and diligent in all things before God to serve him in the fervency of Spirit as scriptures demands from us. John 3:30. 2 Corinthians 5:20. Romans 12:11.
That the worshiper who is yet to be delivered from the bondage and deceitfulness of the spirit of alcoholic consumption should desist, at least, from getting drunk before coming to the presence of God to worship: and the space allot or dedicate for different activities should be respected for the purposes thereof while the temple is reserved uniquely for worship, reading of the scriptures, public exhortations, teachings, preaching of the word and for the giving the testimonies of the Lord in the presence of his people: none should bring alcoholic drink to the house of God: none should smoke cigarette within the premises of the temple in sanctification and honor of God’s holy name. Proverbs 20:1. Isaiah 28:7. Proverbs 31:4 – 7. Micah2:10 –11.
