Stay Planted in the House of God: A Spiritual Guide Book

By Bishop Lovell Chandler Sr.

The day of Christ’s return is at hand. It is so vital that we be planted in the house of God at the return of Christ for His church. We can not be hopping from church to church, ministry to ministry, exercising a “Kangaroo Spirit” never being rooted or grounded in Christ and The Word. We must not allow past or present hurts, disappointments, rejections, lack of fellowship and other things to pull us out of The House of God causing us to be lost. In the parable found in Luke 15(KJV) all three were lost: the sheep, the coin & the son. All needed to be found, just as the sheep were lost in the field, the coin was lost in the house and the son was lost in the world. We can also be lost in the field, house & world. We must stay planted in the house of God and become mature saints, producing fruit for the Master’s use. This will cause others to enter into the House of God, develop a personal relationship with Him, the Holy Spirit and His son Jesus Christ. This will allow the church to be edified and God to be glorified. We pray that this spiritual guide book will be a blessing and comfort to all that read it. We pray that it will encourage many in the body of Christ to mature, produce the fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22- 23(KJV) and that others will be ready for the return of Christ, for He is coming in an hour we think not.

DEDICATION

I dedicate this book to my loving wife, Letricia Chandler and our nine children, along with my sister, Janice F. Broadwater for all the time and patience spent encouraging me to continue writing this book on behalf of the body of Christ.

FOREWORD

I’ll never forget the death of the greatest, most alive man I ever knew. I went to see my father’s body at the funeral home the day before the service was to take place. I just wanted to be alone with him one last time. We spent so many hours and days together when I was young, fishing, playing catch or working on cars together. My pain was un-suppressible and leaked out of my eyes. Most of it, however, got caught in my chest and I wondered what would happen as I approached the box he was laid out in. I walked up and looked down at my father and the pain seemed to dissipate and another kind of pain came, more like a sense of deep regret.

As I looked down at his body, it wasn’t the fun times that raced through my mind, the ballgames, the hunting trips, no it was a different, somehow larger sense of loss. Not just my loss but also the world’s loss. He was such a loving man and
