I have never seen a man who could do real work except under the stimulus of encouragement and enthusiasm and the approval of the people for whom he is working.
Charles M. Schwab (1862-1939, American industrialist, businessman)
Romans 15:30-32
Now I implore you, brothers, through the Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to agonize together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf: that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea, that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, and that, by God’s will, I may come to you with joy and be refreshed together with you. (HCSB)
There is something so special about being together with the body of Christ. We shouldn’t miss that here in Paul’s letters to the church in Rome. Paul has asked for prayers for a completion of his mission to the Jerusalem church, and now he is asking that as he leaves there and approaches them in Rome that they would begin refreshing prayer.
Paul knows the power of the assembled body of Jesus Christ and he knows that when the church is together it is an awesome force. He is asking for the church to pray for his heart to be filled with the Joy of the Glory of the Lord, so that when he reaches them there, they will together be strengthened and refreshed in the Assembled Church, The Body of Christ.
Watching preachers on TV is ok, but the real power and strength comes when Christians are assembled together. Too many people sit at home on Sunday and miss this power, simply because they are spiritually lazy. They sadly have no time for God, until their lives fall apart, and they are in need. Let us agree to take hold of every opportunity that we have to receive the power of the Assembled Body of Christ…God’s Blessings.
