DAY TO DAY LIVING - COMMANDMENT NO. 4

COMMANDMENT 4 - FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHERS

When I’ve been separated from other spiritual encouragers, I also found I was spending less quality time with the Lord. I was having difficulty focusing on Him. I was having difficulty hearing that "still, small voice" that is His. By not being around the people that caused me to get into conversations about the Lord I was spending more time in worldly pursuits and thoughts. I didn't pull away from God, but His and my relationship was not the best. I was slowly, but surely, floating in the other direction.

Hebrews 3:13: "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness."

It is important that we encourage other Christians. It is important that we spend time talking about God and the things He's done and going to do with other Christians. It is with the help of other spiritual people that we grow faster in our own spiritual walk! God shows each of us things that we are supposed to share with others. We are supposed to be teaching each other the things He teaches us.

Hebrews 10:25 says, "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

This is important. Seek out the fellowship with other spirit-filled Christians. Spend time edifying each other in the Lord. It is well worth it!!
