LATENESS TO CHURCH...!!!
Ever since I was born, I have not seen many people arrive late to the airport when they are traveling. In fact, when the plane is taking off at 11:00pm, the person will be at the airport by 7:00pm, wow!
That's how much people value travelling overseas!!
Same when they have to go to court they will be at that Court not less than 30 minutes before the appointed time.
Same when they have appointment with mere men called VIP who have promised to give them money or valuable things, they will be there much more earlier.
But on a SUNDAY when Workers Meeting has long begun, that's when you see men and women with 'swag' gliding like a wounded tortoise to CHURCH
They know they are late yet it does not bother them.
ANOINTING SERVICE starts at 7:00am but people will come at whatsover time that pleases them sometimes even when the sermon is over. why? They think all they need is just to pray and mark attendance with pastor or friends who always bother them.
Just take the test to call them on Monday at 5:30 or 6:00 am , you'll realise they are already on their way to work and some will be there already.
Know this today, anytime you go to CHURCH one minute late, you have NOT attended CHURCH at all.
If ALMIGHTY GOD is saying 'where
two or three are gathered, I'm in their midst', you think He comes late? The time you give is the time He keeps.
What does it mean to arrive late to CHURCH?
- Disrespect to GOD
- Disregard to the CHURCH and the PASTOR
- Interruption of PRAYER
- TOTAL dishonour to ALMIGHTY GOD
