Can a man build a house by himself? Can a woman impact the community on her own? You have been sitting on the periphery for a while, watching, but not connecting. I know when you have felt sorry for yourself and thought that no-one really cared.
I urge you to connect again, my friend. No more sitting on the fence. You cannot survive or grow without my people. Fellowship is not an optional extra for when you feel like it. It is time to put the past behind. I need your assistance to build my house and expand my kingdom. I am breaking the lie that church will hurt you again. I am breaking the lie that you can fulfil your mission on your own.
I am calling all hands on deck. All workers are needed to bring in the harvest. What you have in your hand is very much needed. I will stir up a fresh hunger and thirst in you, and you shall be filled. Don’t think your hands are empty. I am about to anoint every gift, talent and ability in you to reach new levels. It is time to get up, my child.
Get rooted.
Get plugged in!
Activation:
Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight where you may have disconnected with your church community. Ask him to heal any old wounds that may still affect you. Think about which friendships you should pick up in this season and who the Lord wants you to connect with.
Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV)
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 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.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (TLB)
Two can accomplish more than twice as much as one, for the results can be much better. If one falls, the other pulls him up; but if a man falls when he is alone, he’s in trouble.
