REMEMBER THAT THE LORD HIMSELF IS IN THE MIDST.-
Matt. 18:20
20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)
.
That "A greater than Jonas is here."
Matt. 12:41
41
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. (Matthew 12:41)
.
That "A greater than Solomon is here."
Matt. 12:42
42
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. (Matthew 12:42)
.
REMEMBER THAT THE LORD BEING IN THE MIDST
, we must be careful not to allow anything to interfere with His leading whom He will to take any part He sees proper, and that no brother has a place of pre-eminence above another, however gifted he may be, and that only as the Lord's presence is realized and His proper place given Him, will our worship be acceptable to God.
REMEMBER THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS PRESENT
to Lead out our hearts in praise and thanksgiving to God and occupy us with the beauties and perfections of Christ and His finished work and that any unjudged sin quenches His liberty and prevents our enjoying the presence of Christ as we should.
That any brother taking any part in the meeting such as giving out a hymn, offering a word of praise or thanksgiving, administering the Lord's supper or giving a word of exhortation, etc., should be "in the Spirit" and act as the mouthpiece of the whole assembly. (1 Cor. 12.)
REMEMBER
that we do not come together to hear a brother. preach (though there is liberty for any brother, or as many as three-
1 Cor. 14:29
29
Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. (1 Corinthians 14:29)
-if led of the Lord, to give a word of edification, etc.,) or to pray, but to remember the Lord Jesus Christ in His death and to show His death till He comes. (
1 Cor. 11:23-26
23
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come. (1 Corinthians 11:23‑26)
.)
REMEMBER NEVER
to be absent from any meeting where the Lord is "in the midst," unless it is absolutely
NECESSARY
and you can offer your reason to the Lord. (
Heb. 10:25
25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. (Hebrews 10:25)
.)
REMEMBER
that coming in late is disrespect to the Lord Jesus Christ
WHO IS IN THE MIDST
, distracts the minds of all in the meeting from occupation with Christ and destroys one's own personal communion.
REMEMBER
the time the meeting is to begin and
NEVER
be late. (
Luke 22:14
14
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. (Luke 22:14)
.)
