Corporate worship

On the first day of the week the disciples came together to break bread.
Acts 20:7.

Corporate worship
Do we gather together every Sunday, the Lord's Day, to keep His feast of remembrance according to His wish? If so, can our hearts be unaffected when we consider that God the Father sent His only begotten Son to earth, giving Him into death, and that the Son came voluntarily to accomplish the great work of redemption amid all the suffering connected with it?

Our hearts must surely wish to respond by praising and worshipping both Father and Son for their grace and mercy. The Holy Spirit will lead us in our worship, so that our sense of gratitude is expressed before God in a dignified manner for the love shown by the Father and the Son.

Sometimes it is the Father's eternal counsel that occupies our thoughts. We are impressed by His wisdom in finding the way to fulfil His intention in the sacrificial death of His Son in spite of the sin of mankind.

On other occasions we have the Lord Jesus Himself more in view. We consider His incarnation, His humiliation, His devotion to God and His sufferings and death. In wonderment we contemplate the work of the cross for the glory of God and the salvation of our souls. Such worship as honours God can only occur through the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Today's reading: Genesis 22:13-24 Â· Psalms 5:7-12

FASTING IS NECESSARY

To relate with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy. You must also exercise a living faith, pray and fast. Some people will tell you that because had finished the work of salvation, there is no need to fast. To them, fasting is completely needless and is some form of self-inflicted punishment.

Jacob sojourned with Laban and laboured for him for several years. At first, his host was cheating him at every opportunity, and the years of his hard labour were almost in vain.

The name you bear is very important because it serves as your identity and your future may be connected to it. The name a person bears is sometimes indicative of the experiences he or she will encounter in life. Take for instance Moses: this name means "drawn out of water"
