Better Together!

…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 10:25)
Better Together
When we come together as a body of believers united in faith, there’s something that happens that you cannot get on your own. We draw strength from one another. As your praise gets mixed with others’ praise, power is released, healing is released, joy is released. Every time we come together, you’re being refreshed, restored, and reenergized. It’s like your batteries are being recharged. What the week took out of you, God is putting back in you.

It’s good to worship on your own. It’s important to pray by yourself. But something happens corporately that doesn’t happen individually. That’s why David says, “Let us magnify the Lord together.” When we come together to magnify God, it’s like the intensity is turned up. Your faith mixed with everybody else’s faith creates something powerful. Give God the first part of your week and take a few hours to assemble together and connect with other believers. When we come together in faith, an ordinary building becomes a house of God.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that the church is Your idea and for making it a place where I can unite my faith with others and draw strength from others. Thank You that when we gather to worship, I am refreshed, restored, and reenergized for the week ahead. Help me to be connected with other believers. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
