The Gathering of The Royal

Wednesday, May 8, 2024

On the 50th anniversary celebration of the United Nations, leaders from all over the world came to celebrate. It was said that there were more leaders gathered there at that time than had ever gathered anywhere in the history of man. As impressive as that must have been to the world, there's a gathering much more awesome and much more royal. In I Peter, it says, "But you are a royal priesthood". God's children are royalty and whenever they gather, it's a royal occasion. From the largest church service to the smallest fellowship of two people gathered in His Name, it's a royal occasion. If you were invited to a royal occasion, most likely you'd cancel anything you'd planned and go. Well, how much more should you treasure the gathering together of His children, the saints? It's a royal gathering. It's written, "Do not forsake the gathering", because that prayer meeting, ministry event, or worship service is a royal event. So, cherish the fellowship of the saints. Show honor and reverence to one another befitting a most royal occasion, for the children of God are more royal than royalty.
