PROTECTION OF SCATTERED MEMBERS: Blessed Assembly, Jesus’ Design
We end this week with devotionals centered around the theme PROTECTION OF SCATTERED MEMBERS. Enjoy what our team has developed for your spiritual edification and challenge!
SCRIPTURE: “ And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25
Certainly, church attendance does not save anyone, and there are reasons why some people are incapable of attending in-person worship services (e.g., work schedule, physical infirmities, recurrent viruses, etc.); but inasmuch as our Lord Himself modeled adherence to gathering with like-minded souls to worship the Father, can able-bodied people honestly justify the habitual forsaking of corporate worship?
The church, it has been said, indeed functions BEST when we gather together, exercising our spiritual gifts, encouraging one another, and bearing one another’s burdens. (Romans 12:4-6; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; Galatians 6:2) Two are better than one, because together they can work more effectively,” says Ecclesiastes 4:9.
Let us not forsake the assembly of ourselves together, as is the habit of some, but we Christ followers are urged to “encourage one another, and all the more, as you see the day drawing near [Hebrews 10:25].” God’s people were not created to be “Lone Ranger” types but to encourage one another, to thrive and grow into all that Christ saved us to be for His glory! Let’s examine our own heart in this matter and determine to walk in the light as Christ is in the Light (1 John 1:7)!
PRAYER: Dear Abba, remind Your kingdom people of Your command found in Hebrews 10:25.
Let us neither deceive nor “cheat” ourselves out of being blessed to BE a blessing by forsaking
the assembling of ourselves together in corporate worship. Thank You in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Amen my sister!ðŸ™
Amen! Andre Crouch sung a song, "Take Me Back" Take me back dear Lord to the place where I first believed. Sometimes that scattered saint just have to be taken back to thise first days in Christ. Oh how we loved and were obedient to Him then. Thanks Sis. Denise.
Amen and thank you Sis. Denise. We all need encouragement ðŸ™ðŸ¼ðŸ’žðŸ™ðŸ¼

Amen, Sister Diggs.
Blessed Assembly; Jesus' Design. Such brought of Mercy, blessed to align:
Come ye believing, Life made to swell- Refreshed, ye believing; Make haste ye to tell.
Bless all this season, Jesus we pray. And quicken through grace our will to obey.
Time waits for no one. This we well know. So Blessed Assembly, awaken and sow.
This is our story. This is our song. Praising our Saviour all the day long.
This is our story. This is our song. Praising our Jesus all the day long!
