ENCOURAGEMENT

Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching (Hebrews 10:25 NIV).

God is redefining what it means to be a Christian today. Therefore, there is a commitment to teach biblical principles on kingdom living. Biblical truths are taught and practiced and traditional religious mind- sets are being broken. A major part of this emancipation is the emphasis on apostolic reformation of set ideologies and mentalities that have entrapped and conditioned our behavior for so long.
We live in a very individualistic society. So it sounds strange to be told that as the Day of Judgment draws near our greatest need would be to meet together on a regular basis. This text challenges us to forsake our self-reliance and solitude, and move towards others to bless and be blessed by them. Real Christian encouragement is a rear commodity these days, so God wants every one of us to be an encouragement, not a stumbling block.
The word en-courage means to “put courage into” or comfort. My prayer and desire is that the internal order of the operating system of our lives would be to “put courage into” and help those who are coming along. The greatest need in the life of every human being is to feel loved and appreciated. Let us remember to encourage and support one another the way God has used others to encourage and support us during different seasons in our Christian adventure. It works!!
