Happy Sunday nairalanders
I just want to share this experience, if anyone have had this experience before..

Am a good Christian and endeavors to meet up with any church programs and always punctual to church..and with God who strengthens me I endeavors to met up with all my unit contributions and including regular paying of tithe.
Over the years..like every year our bishop always declares what the picture of the year is going to look like. Like 2019 the year of properties..2020 year of fruitfulness..2021 year
Of conquering..2022 the year of blessings and making money..over these years of this declarations we often sow a huge seed to prepare our blessings forthcoming..
But all to no avail..rather things keep getting worst as the years goes by, it weighed me down this February and I put a break from going to church because this year started being worse and that was not what I was promised, even in the recent years..
Why didn't our bishop alarmed us about this things that are going to happen in other for us to prepare rather than beautifying it.(my questions then) but recently I have resumed going to church again. But my question still stays that way.. let me watch out for this year's declaration and I pray I won't end like other years..
So my question is have you been in this same situation that I have been and how did you overcome it

Yes brother. I have been tired of going to church but all that has changed now. I will beg you to please not question God and do all His commandments. Please don't give up going to church. If you are in warri attend Jesus Christ Temple Ministry.

But none of God's commandments requires you to attend any of your churches. Matter of fact, God warns you against imbibing the doctrines and traditions of men which is pretty much what your pastors and mogs bellow at you from their pulpits. So, I am pretty sure the compass you have there does not point anywhere at God but instead at your pastors and mogs, the men whose commandments you actually obey instead.

Forsake not the fellowship of thy brethren. Serve God cause you love Him and not because of your pastor.

The holy assembly/gathering/fellowships referred to by the writer of the letter to the Hebrew believers are the special meetings commanded by God in His Old Law of Moses to take place on specific festival days in the Land of Canaan. Leviticus 23 vs 6 - 8 describes one such Holy assembly during which God commands the people to gather for a special meeting. Those assemblies were strictly for Israelites and were held on specific festival days as commanded by God.

Your churches were not even commanded by God nor do they exist as part of God's Old Law and Constitution in the Nation of Israel. So why do you confuse what goes on in them with the the Holy assemblies/gatherings commanded by God?

God said those who love Him are those who keep His commandments. You rather keep the commandments of your pastors so what has any of that to do with loving God?
