Here are the lessons i picked up from today’s Bible Study that took place on Zoom on the 25th of July 2021.

During the service, our brother talked about the body of Christ been the only body and we can see references according to Apostle Paul when he was trying to explain what the body is, which is the Church and Christ is the head.
Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
The first and only church is the Church of God.

A Sister asked “if we take communion only, will God still be with us?”
From what I understood, if the communion you are talking about is the usual communion preach by most prophets, that’s not the right way to go. There is a proper type of communion according to the bible.
Matthew 18:20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
This is the type of communion that the Bible recommend and God shall be in our midst as long as our hearts are clean and we follow in the path that He has laid down for us.
What is needed for Christ to be with us is to hear His calling.
Revelation 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

A brother also asked “can a Worldly person have the gift of the Holy Spirit?
From my understanding also, a worldly person can claim to have the gifts of the Holy Spirit but he cannot prove it.
1 John 4:6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us.(A) This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth(B) and the spirit of falsehood.
It has to reflect in your way of life. The fruits of the Spirit would also be visible in your life. A worldly life does not correspond to a life that possesses the Gifts.

I also understood that not everyone can speak in tongues and we can see references in
1 Corinthians 12:28-30 And God has placed in the church(A) first of all apostles,(B) second prophets,(C) third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing,(D) of helping, of guidance,(E) and of different kinds of tongues.(F) 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues[a]?(G) Do all interpret?
Not everyone can perform all functions, there are specific functions assigned to various prophets.
Thanks for reading through and stay blesssed.
