Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing,even life for evermore. Psalm 133:1-3 ![U5duGyPSesHXZbWwTced5zArGwHrQkE_1680x8400.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTfmJvBX1N1eLukfbGqpSqXiRy8evB1LMoaHHJwG7WHpd/U5duGyPSesHXZbWwTced5zArGwHrQkE_1680x8400.jpg) Sometimes people ask: "if I have the Holy Ghost and a Bible, why must I necessarily go to church or various fellowships?" Even though it is extremely important for every believer to have a personal time with God always, it does not condemn the truth that believers must also meet in groups. Our own Master Jesus made it a custom/ritual/habit to go to the synagogue/chapel to fellowship with others at various meeting times(luke 4:16). In Hebrews 10:25 also, we are admonished not to forsake the gathering of the saints. Apart from wanting to be like Jesus and following the admonitions of the Bible, a third reason why we should always yearn to be with other believers is we receive a special anointing and refreshening from the Lord. That is what the ointment and dew in our text stand for respectively. Whereas the anointing stirs us up to do more for God, the refreshening calms our hearts and relieves us of any worries. LIFE APPLICATION Make it a habit to always be present at various church gatherings like prayer meetings, cell/class meetings and other fellowship meetings so that you receive that special blessing from God. PRAYER Thank you Lord for your wonderful word. Grant me grace to abide by it.
