ASKED AND ANSWERED

Greetings -

I read an e-mail this a.m. sent to me from a Christian brother.  He asked a question about my blog www.eaglelionflame.blogspot.com. His question was relative to the small number of "Followers, "...how come only 7 and 8 are there?"  I thought perhaps others have the same question so I decided to post my response to him here (his name will NOT be used).  My reply will be posted on both blogs.  

Ref: Question about number of "Followers" on blog, "...how come only 7 and 8 are there?"

Sandra's response:

The Lord knows and He rules that...  


There are people who probably read the blog and do NOT comment.


I have learned that it is better to have a few "Followers" who are faithful than many who are not (remember in our Lord's Word, He talks about having a remnant).


Also, Genesis 18:32
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.


Matthew 12:11
And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.


Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.


There are Christians who have services in their homes with small groups that are on fire for our Lord. The typical model for house churches, I believe, is no more than 15 members. Also, there have been pastors who started out in their homes with few members and have grown to large and even mega-church sizes. Certainly, some mega churches do great ministry in love for our Lord. Mega-churches are NOT my style. I prefer small more intimate church settings. GOD has a specific place for all of His sheep.


Relative to my blog, when I first created it in March of this year, there was a concern about followers. The Lord ministered to me about that. For real, it is HIS blog. "Whosoever will" will join it. The Lord did tell me to have it open for anyone who desires to view/comment. Some people have blogs that only allow who is invited. www.eaglelionflame.blogspot.com and www.lioneaglesoar.blogspot.com are public because GOD can move on anyone to read it and GOD knows what happens from there.


I am grateful for the bloggers who join with me to celebrate our Lord. We are few in number but we love our Lord. It is a pleasure to fellowship with such people.


Note: I noticed that you signed on as a "Follower," but rarely comment on the blog....


Another note: Others may have the same question that you expressed...so I will post my response on both blogs in case others are curious, as well.


I will remove your name before posting...


Thank you,


Love in His service,
Sandra

Last notes: (not in my e-mailed response to the brother who asked the question):

Big does NOT necessarily mean better.  The major aim is to glorify GOD whatever the numbers. 

The only comments that the Lord told me to forbid on the subject blogs are comments that promote businesses, products, and services.  Marketing and promoting sales is NOT acceptable on www.eaglelionflame.blogspot.com or www.lioneaglesoar.blogspot.com.  The only focus is loving, obeying and trusting GOD in spirit and in truth  for He seeks such to worship him. 

John 4:23
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
