Hi, my name is Hone, I've just been accepted to CC. can I ask why it is so important to belong to any tribe ?, I ask this because, is it not more important to be a brother to Christ, and a child of GOD, I understand that knowledge is rewarding, but wisdom to use that knowledge is priceless, people are easily led to focus on relevant material that spirals from our creator, but not potential to our walk of righteousness, the fact is, if we accept GOD as our father in heaven, Jesus as our saviour on earth, and have been born again through baptism, then we need only to follow Christ's example: Love and praise the one true GOD, give love, peace, and harmony to others. GODblessusall.
I'm not so sure if it's about being in the tribe anymore. If you read a little up from your comment, a sister in Christ gave me scriptures & one of the scriptures was my dream... "seek & you will find." I provided the conversation below. God talks to me through dreams sometimes, just as He does in my thoughts, through His Word, through music, TV & through others. He validates His presence, the more I am focused on Him & His will. Every relationship with our Heavenly Father is different, many member, one body, yet different gifts (functions). I believe, with all my heart, God is calling believers who have not been living for Him, out & to true repentance, so they may be used for service- Rom 12:1 "“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” - Matthew 9:37-38: Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Matthew: 22:14 - "For many are called, but few are chosen." If we see how the apostles lived & the early followers, we understand that it's not what we see in today's christianity, especially in 1st world countries. If we truly followed Christ example, we be zealous in our prayer life, fasting, preach the good news to all who would listen, give up our idols, work miracles, lay hands on the sick, casting out demons, not take care for the things of this world, but of the things of God, rebuke Pharisees & hypocrites, lifting each other up, keep Christs commandments; Truly walk after Him & seek God's face first, just as the apostles did during the day of Pentecost. In these days, we cannot be lukewarm. As for me, I believe God wants me on the battlefield & on guard. If you can't tell, something big is coming. Of course we cannot preach the kingdom out of hate, but out of love & concern for souls. The Holy Ghost is what provides the grace needed & the gifts, to get the job done. It is our job to trust God in everything; be willing & to not deny the power thereof, so that He can move from us, to others. Below is the message between our fellow sister in Christ. May the peace & love of our Savior Jesus, keep you in good spirit.

Judges 20:40 But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke,
the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.
This one was my dream. I was in a city with members I didn't know & saw smoke in a distance. About 4 of us ran to the outskirts of the city, into the desert & started running for safety. We were told that we had another half mile to go before we could jump to safety. I noticed the others were jumping on the sides of the mountain with no issues & I became scared, that's when a man named Ben came up & started showing me how to maneuver on the side of the mountain & every time I would fall backwards & lose my balance, he would be there to push me back up to keep going. When I got up, God told me to look for Benjamin in the bible. I didn't jknow that Judges 20:40 would pretty much be my dream. Thanks for sharing all the scriptures with me.
