READ: Psalms 122:1-2
1. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
2. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
MEMORISE: I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
Psalms 122:1
There is no doubt that technology is good. I remember the year 2020 when there was a global pandemic lockdown – Church services were not held in physical venues; for several months, we held services in my home while it were recorded and aired, as physical gatherings were not allowed. Technology was instrumental to this.
However, I, as well as many others, heaved a sigh of relief when we could gather after the pandemic because the experience is not the same. There is this power in physically gathering, that watching or connecting to the service online cannot give you.When you connect to the service from the comfort of your house, you are bound to be distracted – a call on your phone, a visit from a friend, you could even decide to do the dishes or laundry while the service is on et cetera. If you were at the venue however, there would be fewer distractions and you would not miss out on anything.

Also, the fire from the fellow worshipping or praying beside you could ignite yours and this makes the environment Spirit-filled. This feeling is something you may not experience if you are connecting to the service online. Therefore, unless it is unavoidable, ensure that you attend fellowships physically.
ACTION POINT
Your physical presence in fellowships should not be traded for anything else.
