Today, I was going through the stories of some of the people I follow on Instagram. Today, being Sunday, one of them was a video of worship at a church somewhere. I was blessed by it because I had fallen sick a few days ago and couldn’t attend church today. And as I was watching that story, I felt God was talking to me about something. I think it’s relevant and I think I should share it with you guys as well.
When we talk of church, we always use the phrase ‘the presence of God’. We always talk of how we enjoy it. And I think God was trying to give me a new perspective on how his presence works sometimes.
We all have the presence of God around us. I mean, he lives in us, right? But when believers come together, the presence of God shows how bigger it is than us. When we lift our arms in surrender and we glorify his name, we realise how greater God actually is. It is definitely easy for us to shrink God to who we are as the days go flying by from Monday to Saturday. Sunday becomes the day that God moves us by showing us how big he is. Now, we all are called to strive to know him more. But glorifying God and worshipping him, will give you great insight on how greater he is than you thought.
There is also something else that happens. When we come together under God as nations and families and churches, we are bound together in a very beautiful way. I believe that it reprograms us to help each other and to know how to help each other. It gives us a perspective greater than ours, to help us to help people.
I don’t have any bible verses to put down here to prove this. But I really think it’s something worth discussing about.
Also, I would like to thank you, reader for being here and going through this. I hope God has blessed you in some way. I’m really grateful for all of you. Some of you even reminded me of this blog and encouraged me during my long hiatus and I really appreciate that.
Hoping the best for all of you! God bless!
Refreshing, isn’t it? I am glad you brought out the truth of how strong the bond is between those in the family if God. It is so true, so real. God’s grip. – Alan

Yes, Alan. Church is a lot more than the Sunday sermon. It’s where we let God (who is love) join all of us

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Acts 2:1-4
Great things happen when we gather in His name.
