“To Forsake or Not to Forsake the Assembly | Fellowship”
Not everybody who is impressed with God will convert, they will say wow!!! in certain situations and then keep on living their own lives as if nothing happened.
Matthew 24:42-43
Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into
Those who have relationship with Christ will know when He comes, the ones who satan has blinded to not read The Word & to be ignorant will not know when the thief comes and he will break into their house and they won’t be ready.
I am physically exhausted but spiritually AWAKE. My eyes are opened to the reality of the oppressed and the sorrows of abandonment. Yet in both of these circumstances that I witnessed in Cambodia, where darkness is natural and expected, hopelessness was not rampant. These people who had material and physical lack had more than most of us westerners do. We may have less poverty but they have less SPIRITUAL POVERTY. They recognised that even in these situations of being unwanted that they were sought after. They recognised that even in the midst of trials such as HIV and the reality of being an orphan that they were loved by the highest power in complete fullness. They recognised that building up spiritual apathy was unthinkable yet I, taking this all in, realised that I had the mantle of apathy over my shoulders. You see, we here in the first word have become comfortable behind our closed doors and hardened hearts. Yet the people I met over the last few weeks were all in to both challenge the injustice and spread the light of God. I have decided to swap my garment of apathy for one of empathy and action towards the impoverished and suffering as though I knew they were out there in the millions, it took me a two week trip to realise their reality. Yet their reality is one of HOPE which a lot of us in the western world take for granted and don’t fully understand. They were orphans yet they had a joy beyond measure. They were sick and hungry yet they held true to the bread of life. They were abandoned yet they were pursued. They were poor yet they were rich. I’m taking up the challenge to help lift the blanket of apathy off our first world shoulders and grasp the hope that is offered to us all. Will you join me? ✨ “And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be the poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.” - Luke 6v20.
