Church Covenant
Responding to and reflecting God’s covenant that He has made with his people through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 10:16, Jeremiah 31:31-34), we covenant with one another to be the church known as Word of Deliverance Ministry/Church, Inc. This is a binding commitment that by the grace of God, each member will faithfully uphold. As baptized believers in Jesus Christ, we realize that the purpose of God for believers is carried out through His divine plan, the Church, as reflected by local assemblies. This local assembly exists so that “the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 3:10), specifically by worshiping God, edifying the believers and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We commit to love one another (1 John 4:7) by: Building up one another (Ephesians 4:29), Encouraging one another (Hebrew 3:13), Serving one another (I Peter 4:10), Praying for one another (Ephesians 6:18), Exhorting one another (Hebrew 10:24), Rebuking and correcting one another (II Timothy 4:2), when necessary, disciplining one another (Matthew 18:15-17). Bearing with one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), Forgiving one another (Colossians 3:13), Doing nothing that would cause a brother to stumble (Romans 14:13), Maintaining unity with one another (Ephesians 4:3), Obeying God’s word (John 14:23), Meeting together regularly for fellowship and the breaking of bread (Hebrew 10:25, Acts 2:42), Contributing financially to the church (II Corinthians 8:1-5, 9-7), and the relief of the poor, (Galatians 2:10), and submitting to our leaders (Hebrew 13:17).
As a corporate body, we commit to love those outside the church (Luke 10:27-37) by evangelizing (Matthew 28:19-20). Also, we commit to love other churches (Acts 11:22-30) Resolving to be joined in fellowship with other churches in San Antonio & Abroad, in as much as we are in agreement with scripture, we as a church commit to uphold the other churches in our immediate fellowship.
In our personal lives, we commit to love God (I John 4:19) by having personal and family bible study, worship and prayer (Deuteronomy 6:4-9), Being a witness for Christ to friends, family, and acquaintances (Acts 1:8), walking righteously (Proverbs 4:23-27), being exemplary in our behavior (I Peter 2:12) and avoiding the appearance of evil (I Thessalonians 5:22).
Finally, if God removes us from this assembly, we commit to unite, in watch-care or by letter, as soon as possible with another church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant.. Amen
