Repent ye therefore, and be
converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing
shall come from the presence of the Lord (Acts 3:19)

It’s such a
blessing when believers come together in unity to worship the Lord. The Lord’s
presence in such an environment is uplifting and transforming; you’ll never
remain the same afterwards. Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here…..” (Matthew 17:4). He enjoyed
the Lord’s presence so much that he didn’t want to leave. This experience
transformed him forever. In fact, he referred to it many years later in his
letter to the churches (2 Peter 1:16-18).

The Bible
says, “The hills melted like wax at the
presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth”  (Psalm 97:5). The power of God will become
more real to you and all your problems will melt and fade away. Put differently;
God becomes bigger than everything else.

The psalmist
described the anointing of the Holy Spirit as “…..the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountain
of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore”
(Psalm 133:3). The presence of God will transform you forever. In that presence
is the answer and solution to your nagging concerns and doubts. In that
presence, you’ll see a new picture of yourself the way God sees you in His
Word. So you see, you can’t trade that presence for anything in this world. This
is why you cannot afford to miss your church services or meetings.

God isn’t so
concerned about the number of the people gathering. The Lord Jesus said, “For where two or three are gathered
together in my name, there am I in the midst of them”  (Matthew 18:20).

PRAYER

DEAR FATHER, I THANK
YOU FOR THE HONOUR AND PRIVILEGE OF FELLOWSHIPPING WITH YOUR SPIRIT AND WITH
OTHER BELIEVERS: THANK YOU FOR BINDING OUR HEARTS TOGETHER IN YOUR LOVE AND
TRANSFORMING OUR LIVES WITH THE GLORY OF YOUR PRESENCE. I YIELD MY HEART TO YOU
AND I RECEIVE EVERY BLESSING WHICH YOU’VE PREPARED FOR ME IN YOUR PRESENCE, IN
JESUS CHRIST NAME, AMEN!
