Dearly beloved brethren the Bible says you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. It also says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

John 8:32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Hosea 4:6.My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Besides this, it is painful but still true, that ignorance of what you don’t know, will still impact in your life, because there is no excuse.

Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Heb 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

During the service or even when the service is not on, the angels are running errands. The angels are not tolerant. They can smite anyone not behaving rightly. Remember the case of angel Gabriel and. Zechariah, smitten with dumbness.

Luk 1:19 — Luk 1:20And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

Exo 23:20 — Exo 23:22 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

But then when you manifest reverence and godly fear in the house of the Lord. Great thing shall happen to you. This shall be your experience henceforth till Christ comes.

Isa 37:14 — Isa 37:17And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.

Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.

3. You shall still be flourishing till old age.

Psa 92:12 — Psa 92:15 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Dearly beloved brethren so henceforth, see what you must be doing.

1. Be always happy to attend all services.

Psalms 122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

2. Don’t be a visitor that goes to church occasionally or at the end of the year. Go regularly to attend all services, which makes you to be dwelling and not visiting.
