Open And Attend The Churches Everywhere And Receive These Blessings
1) The Blessing Promised By Psalm 84:10
Psalm 84:10 says For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. In other words one day in church is better than a thousand days in the sinful world. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. In other words I'd rather be an usher in the back of a church opening the door for people to enter the church than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield. The Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly; O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
2) The Blessing Promised By Matthew 16:18
Jesus told Peter at Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter and upon this Rock (note that the Rock is Jesus) I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. In other words the church is a safe haven from the storms of life and the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church and its members. According to this blessed promise, no Governor or Mayor will be able to close the church because the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Saints everywhere keep attending church because Jesus said at Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. In other words if we show up to church, Jesus will show up. Note that people are not gathering together when they isolate themselves and watch church services on the internet in their homes. But when we live by faith and not fear and attend church, Jesus will show up and bless us. According to Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. In other words run to the church where Jesus dwells and be safe from the storms of this life.
What a blessing that President Trump has said that churches everywhere are essential businesses and need to be opened everywhere in America immediately. I pray in Jesus name that Governors and Mayors of all the states in America obey President Trump's request and allow people in their states to attend church and freely worship our Lord Jesus. Jesus bless you President Trump for protecting christians' first amendment rights to attend church and freely worship the Lord Jesus.
A Blessed Quote For The Memories
Church Should Be Your Excuse For Missing Everything Else
3) The Blessing Promised By Psalm 84:1-4
Psalm 84:1 begins by saying How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts. In other words how beloved and amiable is the church. Christians ought to love attending church to receive peace, healing, and protection from coronavirus. It's so refreshing to see people in a church building instead of in cars at a drive in service or on a computer screen viewing a church service alone at home.
Ways To Show You Love The Amiable Church
A) Be Present At Church
B) Be Pleasant At Church
We can show that we love the church by being present at church. Hebrews 10:25 tells us Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another and so much the more as ye see the day approaching. Everyone show that you love the church by attending church services more and more because we see the day of Jesus approaching soon where all the saints will be caught up in the clouds to live in peace with Jesus forevermore. Hebrews 10:25 commands us to attend church and needs to be obeyed instead of any ungodly law by a Governor, Mayor, or any politician that forbids church attendance. Be like the apostles and proclaim We ought to obey God rather than men. Truly, church should be your excuse for missing everything else.
We can show that we love the church by being pleasant at church. Psalm 122:1 says I was glad when they said unto me Let us go into the house of the Lord. Be pleasant at church and be concerned about your brothers and sisters in the Lord. Galatians 6:10 tells us As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Notice it tells us to go above and beyond to help our brothers and sisters in the church. Instead of worrying about your problems, start being concerned about your brothers and sisters in the church. The bible says if you pray for someone else, God will heal you. James 5:16 promises Pray one for another that ye may be healed.
4) More Blessings From Psalm 84:1-4
Psalm 84:2 tells us to long and faint to attend church service. King David said My soul longeth yea even fainteth for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. In other words look forward to attend Sunday morning and evening services along with Wednesday night services at your local church. Be like King David and proclaim Psalm 27:4 One thing have I desired of the Lord that I will seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord and to enquire in His temple.
It's a blessing to be at church surrounded by brothers and sisters all focused on worshipping our Lord Jesus. The bible tells us that two is better than one because they have a good reward for their labour. For if one of them falls the other will lift them up. But woe unto you if you are alone and there is no one to help you. If two lie together they have heat, but how can one be warm alone. One prevails, two withstands, and a three fold cord is not easily broken. Remember one ant can push a crumb but ten ants can push a crumb better. We can accomplish more for Jesus when we work together with our brothers and sisters to save souls for Jesus in our local church. We need to work together as a team. TEAM means Together Everyone Accomplishes More.
Psalm 84:3 goes on to say Yea the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my king, and my God. Now let's see why King David mentioned that a sparrow and a swallow are blessed to attend church. This is because the sparrow and the swallow are filthy worthless birds that find peace and safety at church. Like the sparrow and the swallow, God allows filthy worthless sinners like you and me to find a home of peace at our local church. What a blessing that the local church receives filthy unwanted sinners that the world has rejected and welcomes them with kindness. If you feel rejected by the world, get saved today and blessed by the church by repenting, confessing Jesus to be your God, believing that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.
And notice that when the swallow finds a place of rest in the church, she makes a nest to lay her young. Christians need to be like the swallow and consider the local church to be the place to raise their children where kids can learn to praise and worship the name of our Lord Jesus. Parents need to always bring their children to church and obey King Solomon's recommendation at Proverbs 22:6 that says Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
And take time to read the promise from 1 Chronicles 29:3 about what you will receive if you determine to attend every service at your local church. The blessed scripture says Moreover because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have mine own proper good of gold and silver which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house. In other words if you determine and faithfully attend all your church services, God's Word promises that you will be blessed with money (gold and silver) for the church and also money over and above to take care of all your personal needs.
Finally, I give everyone a warning to not be like Thomas and miss a Sunday night church service where the glory of Jesus showed up. Thomas missed the Sunday night service where Jesus walked through a wall and spoke peace to the disciples. But Jesus was merciful to Thomas and appeared again to all the disciples and Thomas. At first Thomas said he wouldn't believe the resurrection of Jesus until he saw Jesus. Jesus told Thomas at John 20:29 Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are thy that have not seen, and yet have believed. Unlike Thomas be present at all your church services so you don't miss a blessing like Thomas.
I pray in Jesus name that this little bible study blesses multitudes all over this earth.
