Meeting The King !!!

There are two important things to do when meeting with The King. (there are a couple more but I am going to concentrate on these two) The first is, always be there on time. The second is, always bring an offering or gift. Let's talk about the first one. In this world, in every monarchy, anytime the king sets up a time for an announcement, a ruling, or anytime you were given to see the king, you were to be there on time. If you were not there on time than you lost your opportunity to see the king, and no one knew when you would have another chance to see the king. When we go to church we are going to see The King of kings and Lord of lords. So than why do we leave late and get there late. We should be leaving early, and getting there early so we can see The King, not get there and interupting His ministers as they are giving the message sent to them by The King. "Oh God understands because of this and that." Yes God is an understanding God. He understands that we have jobs and so on and so forth but the fact of the matter is, is that we have control over when we work. If you know that you have service at a specific time, than why are you working before service. Many people I have met do that and they miss out on a blessing everytime. Yes there are many who have no control over the time in which I can understand but you still have control on it. Or if you know that you have a service at a specific time and you live far away from the church building why are you leaving 10minutes before the service starts and getting there at the very end of the service. You know that traffic is hectic. Leave early and get there on time if not early. It is very disrespectful to God when you disrupt the service because you made the conscious choice of leaving late. There are no excuses. God wants to give you a full blessing not half a blessing and when you do not get there on time you disrespect Him and lose out on a blessing. I am tired of the so called "Puerto Rican" or "Black People" time. If the service starts at 3pm than it starts at 3pm not 3:30pm, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, so on and so forth. You disrespect our King when you do this. Let's break this stereotype and be there when we are suppose to be there. In addition when you have a time to see the king it doesn't matter if it rained, snowed, or whatever you went to see the king when you were told. So than why do many of us decide that just because it is raining that we do not have to make the sacrifice to see our King. He made the biggest sacrifice for us by sending Christ to die for our sins. Why can't we make a small sacrifice and go see Him whether it is raining, snowing etc. . . . . . . . . . . . Second, when people always went to see the king they brought an offering. Whether it was a chicken for his pot, flowers for his garden, etc. When we see our King why do many of us not bring an offering. Now yes the bible covers everything on tithing and offering, and yes God understands that many of us financially aren't able to bring an offering. While tithing is biblical and in the scripture, God understands that many of us financially aren't able to bring an offering. But there are many ways we can bring an offering to God. Many of us who arent blessed financially are blessed with food. Bring canned goods, and foods to fill up the stores. With that offering many who do not have can be blessed with a meal. They can even be your brothers and sisters that are in the church congregation. Many are blessed with clothing that they do not wear anymore. Bring it in because there could be a brother or sister that is in need of clothing and they can be blessed. The bible says that God will feed the hungry and clothe the naked. We are a big part of that. Many are blessed with plenty of time during the week. They can bring God an offering of their time to help spread the gospel by doing the works of God. We all have our place as the body of Christ. I think it is about time we all started doing our part. There shouldn't be any PEW-Warmers. We should all be doing our part.
