RE-DISCOVER FELLOWSHIP

Psalm 84:10
For a day in thy courts Is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Most believers today have fallen into the habit of approaching prayer as a mere transaction, bringing a list of requests without any genuine desire to fellowship or truly know the Lord. Imagine having a child who only seeks you out when they need something, with no interest in building a relationship or understanding who you are. This is how it feels when believers come before God with their petitions but have no desire to spend time in His presence.

Fellowship is God’s design for achieving oneness with Him. Through intimate communion, we gain a deeper understanding of His character, align our hearts with His will, and receive life-changing direction. Without this connection, we risk living out of alignment with His purpose for our lives, limiting our relationship to mere requests rather than a loving partnership with Him.

As you step out today, make up your mind to prioritize time in God’s presence, focusing on knowing Him rather than just seeking His hand. As you nurture this relationship, you’ll experience a more fulfilling spiritual journey and a closer walk with the Lord.
