Some Misconceptions About Church.... Should I Go Or Should I Not! by gabbijason(m): 7:05am On Jan 24, 2021
Hebrew 10:25

Not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Firstly, let's look into some misconception before we dive into the subject of our devotion today!

The Church is not a building, neither is it a place to socialise, it is not an organisation registered with the government. It is a 'living body' comprising of those who have been saved and sanctified by Christ.
The term Church was translated from the Greek "ekklesia", a compound of two segments: "ek", a preposition meaning"out of", and a verb, "kaleo", signifying "to call" - together, literally, "The called out ones" in order words; to remove from the world. We may be in the world, but we are not of this world. (John 17:16).

In our Anchor scripture today, the Apostle Paul admonishes believers to fellowship with one another. This fellowship could be in a church building, or a fellowship in your school or work place., or a meeting of two or three believers (Matthew 18:20) and in modern times, it could also be online because distance is not a barrier!

Some of the reasons while we must remain in fellowship is.

To study and hear God's word in order to increase in knowledge and grow in faith.
To worship God along with other believers and take communion.
Followsbip with other believers is a source encourage and strength and We can rekindle our fire and commitment to God by been in contact with other believers,
Its also an opportunity to serve God and minister to others using our God given gifts and talents.

From this hour, make up your mind to be bonded together in love with other believers. We are one in one body irrespective of our various denominations and diverse doctrines.

Prayer.
Heaven father, Grant me the grace to be closer to word, the grace to love spiritual things and be bonded with other believers. Grant me the desire to hunger and thirst after righteousness. Amen!

We should not forsake fellowship with brethren, that is what the Bible says

I want to change my perspective of just going to church for tithing only..

Everything tires me when in church and it is very bad..
I hardly focus and only wait to pay my offerings and tithes..
Most churches nowadays are time wasters, and worst of all dish our tiring sermons that makes you sleep..
I will still prefer a motivational speaker to preach to me cos I won't fall asleep and will be carried along

I really understand your situation bro, however, going to church is not about paying tithe..

Next put it to heart that you participating in a family meeting of God's people. And if you are not been blessed in your present denomination, run,don't waste time. Go to a place where you can find love, care, Godly nourishment which is the word, and real worship in Spirit and in truth.

Hope that helps! Now dress up, let's go!
