Walking In God’s Will 2

After Sharon graduated from the university and got a very good job, she became so busy that she no longer had much time for her fellowship with the Lord and with the brethren. She didn’t know that this was draining her spiritually until she traveled with her family to the village for Christmas and found that she was now being afflicted in her dreams. Something that used to happen to her when she was a little girl before she accepted the Lordship of Christ Jesus.When she got back to the city, she determined that she was not going to continue to run after everything else but God. She started waiting on the Lord in prayer and fasting. She started having long prayers with her friends over the phone daily, she now became more serious about finding a church that upholds the truth of God’s Word because the church she was attending in the city was just a ‘feel-good’ church with very little spiritual substance of life. Most of her colleagues who were workers in that church were fornicators and she knew this.

Many believers backside when they change environment because they are not diligent to maintain their spiritual disciplines that may now not fit into their new environment. Believers who would continue to grow are those who value their Christian fellowship and fight to maintain it.
Today, we are in an age of information technology–let’s take advantage of it. Because of conference calls, it is easy to maintain fellowship and prayer meetings with your brethren (of the same spirit) even if you are now far away from each other.

Go into today remembering that your company matters a lot. That’s why God has commanded us not to neglect the fellowship of our brethren. Much life and power is generated when believers who love the Lord and each other gather together under His authority.

Prayer: Father Lord, please help me not to neglect the fellowship of my brethren. Strengthen me with might in the inner man by your spirit, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
