THE BENEFITS OF STAYING IN FELLOWSHIP
“Not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25 (MSG)
There is a blessing you can never receive by staying alone. The scripture tells us that we should not forsake the assemblies of ourselves together, as the manner of some is. When we gather as a church, there is a dimension of blessing that flows among us that can never flow when you are alone. That is why fellowship among us is very important. We may have one or two who are misbehaving; it still does not change the fact that we must fellowship because it is part of our amour. The Scripture declares: “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour” (Ecclesiastes 4:9 KJV).
When the enemy understands that you are not alone, you have brothers and sisters interceding on your behalf, he will back off from you. It is a blessing to have brethren who connect in the realm of the spirit on your behalf to destroy the yoke of darkness. When you belong to the family of God, you belong to a major family that the devil cannot destroy. Jesus said: “…build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18 KJV).
As you go about your assignment, never be afraid. The powers of heaven will fight for you! They will speak for you and silence the voice of your enemies. You are not alone! He has assured us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. The God that you and I serve will honour His Word in your life. He will exceed your imagination. He will open doors for you and make your miracles speak for you. Get ready for an overflow!
Are you believing God for a miracle? Then get ready. God will exceed your expectations! No satanic force will rob you of your joy. Your joy is coming, and it will affect your business, your job, your marriage, finance, academics, health etc. Nothing will stop it!
