Satan Loves Detached Believers

-
"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness."(Hebrews 3:13 NIV) 

A church family will help keep you from backsliding.  None of us are immune to temptation. Given the right situation, you and I are capable of any sin. God knows this, so he has assigned us as individuals the responsibility of keeping each other on track. 

The Bible says, “Encourage one another daily … so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness” (Hebrews 3:13 NIV). “ 

Mind your own business” is not a Christian phrase!  We are called and commanded to be involved in each other’s lives. If you know someone who is wavering spiritually right now, it is your responsibility to go after him and bring him back into the fellowship.  James tells us, “If you know people who have wandered off from God’s truth, don’t write them off. Go after them. Get them back” (James 5:19 MSG).  

A local church also provides the spiritual protection of godly leaders. God gives the shepherd leader the responsibility to guard, protect, defend, and care for the spiritual welfare of his flock (see Acts 20:28-29; 1 Peter 5:1-4; Hebrews 13:7).  

Satan loves detached believers, unplugged from the life of the Body, isolated from God’s family, and unaccountable to spiritual leaders, because he knows they are defenseless and powerless against his tactics. Don’t let him get a foothold in your life! Stay connected to your church family. Praise the Lord, God bless

" John 10:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10  The thief does not come except to steal,  and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life,  and that they may have  it  more abundantly."       When we talk about the abundance of blessings, most people assume that because talking about it is closely related to the problem of sheer material, but fundamentally the Lord speaks of the abundance of blessing, not only of material things, but also talk about the abundance of blessings in a perfect way.

"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang takut kepada Tuhannya di saat mereka tidak tampak di hadapan yang lainnya, mereka akan memperoleh ampunan dan pahala yang besar. Dan rahasiakanlah perkataanmu atau lahirkanlah; sesungguhnya Dia Maha Mengetahui segala isi hati. Apakah Allah Yang menciptakan itu tidak mengetahui (yang kamu lahirkan atau rahasiakan); dan Dia Maha Halus lagi Maha Mengetahui? Dialah Yang menjadikan bumi itu mudah bagi kamu, maka berjalanlah di segala penjurunya dan makanlah sebahagian dari rezki-Nya. Dan hanya kepada-Nya-lah kamu (kembali setelah) dibangkitkan ." (QS. Al Mulk: 12-15) “Takutlah akan Allah dan muliakanlah Dia, karena telah tiba saat penghakiman-Nya, dan sembahlah Dia yang telah menjadikan langit dan bumi dan laut dan semua mata air” (Wahyu 14:7)
