As We Gather

 

The assembly of the congregation gradually began to gather.

But to whom are we gathered unto?

Young, old, men and women were entering the gathering place.

These ones congregated at different times.

We are too quick to forget unto Whom we are gathered.

Our consciousness of gathering seems to be for ourselves.

The congregation were dressed in various fashionable dresses.

These dresses are so self proclaiming.

Our old ones disregarded and/or be-littled the young ones.

Youths were puffed up by knowledge and  'revelation.' 

Although, we are gathered, yet we are divided.

Not in the physical but in the spirit.

Members of One body refuse to acknowledge the relevance of other members.

We all neglected that we are gathered unto Mount Zion.

And unto the city of the living God. 

The heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.

To the general assembly and church of the firstborn.

Which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all.

And to the spirits of just men made perfect.

Envoy, strife, pride and SELF is evident.

The One Whom we should have gathered unto is greatly displeased.

Unity seems unattainable.

Fellowship of the Spirit is not that feasible.

But we ought to come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God,

Unto a perfect man, 

Unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

We highly esteem, appreciate and strongly desire our presence recognition.

Meanwhile, the Head of the church isn't recognised nor revered.

Whereas God is no respecter of persons.

We overly long to pamper and manifest carnality even in the very presence of our Maker, Father and Master.

Rather than ministering to the Lord, we ended up entertaining ourselves.

Instead of God's rich glory, so many high tech flashy lights in our gatherings.

Doctrinal teachings largely centers on our Lord Jesus Christ and subtilly instil flesh therein.

Henceforth, when we are gathered, we gather as many members of one body.

We gather as we acknowledge one another as lively stones.

Built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood.

To offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Let's congregate unto Him spotless and blameless.

Then, we will gather as we ought to and fully receive the necessary and adequate supply from our Head.

Shalom.
