HISTORIQUE

Au début, ce fut un petit groupe d’intercession qui devint plus tard l’un des premiers groupes de prière charismatique autonome du Zaïre.

Le Seigneur bénit le groupe qui grandit de plus et le Saint-Esprit nous aida à le transformer en centre d’évangélisation chargé d’actionner le Réveil et l’Edification des Eglises par l’organisation des évangélisations destinées à gagner les âmes perdue et des Convention Chrétiennes à l’intention des dirigeants des assemblées des (prières) églises.

Bref, nous sommes réunis autour du Christ dans un ministère commun pour le Réveil et l’Evangélisation de l’Eglise ;
Ephésiens 4,11-16

SOURCE D’INSPIRATION

Notre source d’inspiration est la sainte Bible qui est la seule parole écrite de Dieu.
L’onction du Saint-Esprit et la manifestation des dons spirituels occupent la plus importante place dans nos cultes. Les gens ne reçoivent jamais des titre honorifiques comme ailleurs dans certaines organisations communautaire mais seule l’onction spirituelle est la source du pouvoir et de toute autorité charismatique dans nos assemblées.

BASE DOCTRINALE

  1. Nous acceptons que Jésus-Christ est Seigneur et Dieu Véritable.
  2. Le baptême au nom de Jésus par immersion est le seul qui mène au salut
  3. Nous ne lions pas les mariages mais nous célébrons les fêtes de mariage ce seul Dieu lie les conjoints.
  4. Les petits enfants ne sont pas baptises mais sont présentés au Seigneur.
  5. Entre le Seigneur et son Eglise, pour cet age, il n’y a aucun intermédiaire ou aucune station spirituelle, le sacrifice de la Croix par le sang de Christ ayant accomplit l’œuvre d’expiation pour le salut des âmes qui se convertissent.
     
 

What's a church membership? Why should I be a member?

The Bible commands, “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves.” This does not mean to obey in some vague way, simply giving lip service. You cannot obey those empowered to rule in Christ’s church if you never join. You simply cannot submit to the church’s lawfully-constituted leadership unless you become a member. You could never be excommunicated if you had never been a communicant member to begin with. In our church, whenever we observe the Lord’s Supper, the minister invites “those in good standing in any evangelical church to participate in the ordinance.” What a generous invitation to be invited right into the very presence of Christ! The Lord’s Supper is a fellowship meal only to be given to faithful saints who have properly submitted themselves to church membership, for it is required that all things be done decently and in order
(I Corinthians 14:40).

Since the church itself is held in such low regard today, little wonder church membership is not highly regarded. Many civic organizations or professional associations have much higher requirements for membership than the church. In how many local civic clubs could you remain a member in good standing while never attending or paying dues? That civic organizations should have higher standards of membership than the church of Jesus Christ is truly a shame. For no other organization has the power of the keys, the power to admit people into heaven or ban them from the presence of God.

Is church membership, then, a necessity, or is it somehow optional (“I can join if I feel like it”)? Let’s put it another way: Is obedience to Christ a necessity or an option? This question must be asked today because many people have the mistaken idea that to be a Christian all they must do is pray a simple prayer and then they will be forever saved. No particular transformation may ever be evident in their lives. They may never be able to give up any pet sins. They may never have any desire to read their Bible or attend church regularly. They may never exercise spiritual leadership in their family or have a credible Christian witness. They may never amount to anything for Christ. But that’s all right (it is thought) for there are two levels of sanctification: Christian and Super-Christian! Not all Christians must become obedient to Christ. Not all must deal with sin. Not all must read their Bible or attend church regularly. Those things are only for Super Christians, those who have attained a higher level of spirituality.

But is this what Scripture teaches? Not at all! The Apostle John wrote, “If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.... He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him” (I John 1:6, 2:4). Thus, the Scriptures know nothing of a Christian who will not give up his sin, who will not keep God’s commandments. Those who refuse to bring their lives into conformity with the will of God place themselves in mortal danger of eternal damnation.
