“…and let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some…” Hebrews 10:24-25 (NKJV)

Having established in the first part of this article, the importance of belonging and committing to a Church and its activities, someone might say, but what if I am busy, how do I attend these services? Well, there is nothing wrong with being busy but there is something called priority. What are your priorities in life? Is God part of it? If God is a part of your priority, you would create time to always be in Church to fellowship with the rest of the brethren and be a blessing to the body of Christ. The only reason people do not have time to come to church is because they have placed many other things above coming to church. They have made church attendance less important in their lives and yet this is what is needed to build their faith, work out their salvation with fear and trembling and prepare for eternity. 

Beloved, when it comes to attending church services and participating in the activities and evangelical initiatives in the church, there is no excuse for that, except you are living in a place where attending church service is just not possible or it puts your life at risk, which is largely not the case for many people. You have got to understand that, one of the major core teachings of the Gospel is fellowship. It is the reason our Lord Jesus Christ came, to restore fellowship between man and God and make our relationship with men better. So take it seriously and do not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some…” Hebrews 10:24-25 (NKJV). Not complying with this mandate from God puts you in the wrong light and you don’t want that, do you? So the needful. Halleluiah!
