What does it mean to everyone about a cell? I mean if cells are malfunctioning, as Christians i think we are doing a worst job. Because cells are the core of love. They are where love are most concentrated; it's not just love but friendships. And cells are one of the first things that draw unsaved souls into the church. I have met friends that are totally uninterested in the love of God and totally cast their attentions elsewhere when we begin to rapture into the long story of Jesus Christ. But, when it comes to cell, they are amazed, interested, dumbfounded at how a group of say girls or boys or both come together and stand by each other. It feels like an extended family. It feels like a blanket to fall on when you are down. It feels like ten shoulders to cry on. It feels like the party you celebrate with. Apart from God and your family, its everything. That's what a cell is and why as Christians, we should do our best to get the cell going.

But TOTAL MISCONCEPTION.
If your cell is breaking apart, stop trying to keep the cell going coz its not going to work. People feel it when the cell is breaking. People feel the stop of love flowing. People feel the break of the river of the love. So if the cell is breaking or torn apart by anything conflicts, rip it. And when i mention conflicts, i mean conflicts internally and externally. No point in putting on a brave front and act like a saint and continue to hold up the cell. No point at all. At the end pof the day it's nothing.

MISCONCEPTION #2
If you think girls are the most mature and the most possible to salvage a cell, think twice. Look around the churches. The cells breaking apart are the girls' cell. Especially in my perception. BEcasue girls enjoy talking. Girls enjoy pouring out their secrets and their problems. Girls need ears. And once girls talk, they talk non-stop becasue everything is linked. But ironically, it is this talking and chatting and as we called it, divine sharing that makes 2 girls grow closer together. The closest friends are those who know each other's secrets and talk about it. Yet it is this divine sharing that tears people apart. It is when the divine sharing takes a ugly turn to gossip and bitching. It when the divine sharing turns to rumors going around. Attitudes to one another starts and it happens so quickly and so complex that misperceptions come in and we don't know how to start. ANd the issue is so simple-- it's the divine sharing.
SO what do we do? We are afraid to share for fear of the birth of gossip and rumors. And no one wants to take a RISK.

Here;s the full stop to all arguments. God. ANything, just ask God. And that's why I thank God for God. Coz with God everything has an answer. WIth GOd, everything has a full stop.

My theory is: Share only when there's God in it. God in it does not restrict the conversation to spritual growth. God in it means, when we share we pray about it together. We put the faith in God that he will help us stop the evil deceitful tongues. With faith, all suspicions and doubt are cleared. No one will suspect anyone of anything. And with God's protection and precious blood, no tongue can sow evil roots.
We have had cells for so long and had cells for such a long time that we forget the root and the base, God. A god-centred cell or conversation is not just one that starts and ends with a prayer. It's a call where God is in the cell as well. Make God a member of the cell. Feel God's presence.
Be it any conversation not just in cell, God must be there. So as I said, share only when God is in it. Otherwise keep quiet about it.

FOr those poor souls out there that do not know what a cell is, a cell is a group of sisters and brothers in Christ that get together to share God's word and share their troubles and then we pray. The fellowship and love in a cell is astounding and you will be able to feel it. Just imagine joining a club where people love you and care about you. And the membership is complimentary.
