Topic: Dealing With Lateness To Church
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
Proverbs 6:6-8
Sober Reflections
We have learnt a few things about lateness and its consequences especially in relation to appointments with God.
Whatever excuses we have been giving for our lateness to church, we can overcome them if we really want to do so.
To deal with lateness to church, a few points are enumerated below:
▪︎Pray for help – the Holy Spirit is always ready to help when we ask Him. John 15:26
▪︎A willing heart – it is important to determine in your heart to be early to church always, then work towards it. Isaiah 1:19
▪︎Be serious with everything about God and put Him first in all things. Ex 20:2-3
▪︎Self-discipline – Discipline yourself to ensure you are always early to church.1 Tim 4:7
▪︎Avoid procrastination – Rom 14:12
▪︎Manage your time well – be organised. Eph 5:15-17
▪︎Iron your clothes etc a day before.
▪︎Sleep early so you can wake up early
▪︎ Be committed to it – Prov 16:3
Sisters, once we make up our minds to change and please God, God will help us. The Holy Spirit will guide us to prepare ahead of time in order to be early. He will even wake us up early if we ask Him to. Whatever we need to do to please God, the Holy Spirit is there to help us.
So let’s ask Him as we make every effort to go to church early to worship God and receive from Him.
Prayer
Thank You Father God for giving me the Holy Spirit to help me in all my weaknesses.
Holy Spirit, please help me to overcome the sin of habitual lateness to church; to put God first in my everyday life to give Him glory and honour in Jesus’ Mighty Name. Amen!
