Rccg open Heavens 3rd August 2017 Message

Come ye apart” is a call for a holy convocation or a coming together of the saints in a solemn assembly.

In the Bible, such a meeting was often called to enable the people of God separate themselves unto God.

Such special days were devoted to spiritual activities such as praise, worship, celebration, Scripture reading, fasting, prayers and offering of sacrifices.

In today’s Bible reading, the Lord Jesus Christ called for a holy convocation or solemn assembly with His disciples.

The disciples had just returned from their very first missionary tour.

Although they had many victories and testimonies of healing and casting out of demons, they were also very tired, confused (from seeing strangers casting out demons in the Name of Jesus), and full of several questions they wanted to ask the Master.

On getting back to Jesus, they immediately bombarded Him with their reports, but Jesus would not engage them in the presence of the multitude.

Instead, He called them apart for a solemn assembly. He said to them, “Come ye apart and rest a while”.

Within the atmosphere of peace and quiet, the disciples were able to tell Jesus all about their labour, victories, challenges and ask their questions unhindered.

The Lord Jesus in turn was able to properly instruct them, answer all their questions, clear their doubts and minister to them appropriately.

How ever, it should be noted that the call for a solemn assembly was intentionally made to exclude the multitude.

It was strictly designed for the hardworking disciples, who were exhausted, to come away and rest for some time.

RCCG Open Heavens Devotional

A solemn assembly is therefore a time to recharge our spiritual battery, a time of deep reflection and a time to meditate on the word of God.It is meant to be a time of total rest from daily physical work in order to be in the presence of the Lord.

It is a time of separation unto God for spiritual worship, fasting and prayers, with high expectations of divine visitation. It is a time of very serious business with God that leaves no room for pettiness, gossip,indiscipline or any form of carnality.

That is why the solemn assembly in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) is strictly meant for mature ministers and workers of the Church. “Come ye apart” is an open invitation by God to His favoured children as a means of setting them apart for divine blessings.

It could be a call to an individual, as was the case with Moses in Exodus 34:2-3, or a call to a group of people, as was the case with Jacob and his family in Genesis 35:1-7. May you receive your own special invitation today in Jesus Name.
