We all can go through difficult seasons where we might even stop going to church, and we pull into isolation because we are struggling. But we also have those moments when we are reminded that God is calling us to more in this life, and we can’t ignore that call forever. God often uses other Christians and the Church to brings us through those seasons of difficultly or isolation in our lives. When we are connected to the people of God we start to walk in our God given purpose. Wealth, promotion and position can never bring the fulfilment and peace that we desire; only God’s purpose for our lives can fulfil our lives. The bible teaches us that we need to be in biblical fellowship and community with other righteous people, because this is what changes lives. We live in a world where people lack accountability to one another and have lost the value of the local church. But this belief system takes us deeper into isolation. The truth is we all need accountability and fellowship with others. And that calls for us to live with humility. The humiliation principle states that “the degree to which you are willing to humiliate yourself is the degree God’s grace is poured out or given to you. Read Luke 5:17-25. Do you have friends that would rip through a roof for you? Because sometimes we need borrowed faith in those tough seasons. How connected are you really with the body of Christ? More than any spiritual discipline, intimate Christian relationships leads to spiritual growth in people! At some point we need a biblical perspective of the value of fellowship with other Christ followers. We can’t miss the power and authority of being an active part of the Church of God. We need those who are lost in the world to be found in the house of God, and so we need Christian’s who are willing to rip open roofs to get them into the presence of God. God wants us to be a part of a community that will see us move into our wholeness!
