Bible Reading: Palm 122:1-6.
Memory verse: I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. Psalm 122:1.
Ever since I was born, I have not seen people arrive late to the airport when they are travelling. In fact, when the plane is taking off at 11:00pm, the person will be at the airport by 7:00pm. Wow! That’s how much people value travelling overseas.
But on a Sunday morning when Church has long begun that’s when you see people with ‘swag’ gliding like pregnant women to Church. They know they are late, but because they have a new Armani suit on and the latest Michael Kors bag, they want everyone to see it.
Church starts at 7:00am, but people will come at 9:00am, why? They think praise and worship is for the uncivilized. Just take the test to call them on Monday at 5:30am, you’ll realise they are awake including those in boarding schools.
Know this today, anytime you go to Church one minute late, you mayn’t have attended Church at all. There are angels responsible for the distribution of blessings at every segment of the service.
Key point: Punctuality to the house of God shows you truly have regard for your creator.
Prayer Points:
- My Father, I repent of gross disrespect for you the may times I have ever came late to Church.
- Holy Spirit, my senior friend, nudge me to always regard the fellowship of God’s people, in Jesus name.
