Non-believers, Heaven’s banquet is waiting for you. If you do not want to enter just yet, I am afraid you may truly miss out on heaven’s banquet and it would be too great a loss. Simply acknowledge that you are poor, crippled, blind or lame and you are qualified, because no one is qualified, it is all by grace.
Believers, Jesus tells us: “You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor , blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.”
O Church! Do not be deceived by external looks, we must continue to seek spiritual blessings, admit our lack that we may continue to enjoy heaven’s banquet!

The Early Church had two kinds of fellowship life. In Acts 2:46, it says: “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts”
The first kind is fellowship in the temple. They worshiped and praised the Lord together, somewhat like our worship services on Sundays. The second kind of fellowship is inside the believers’ homes. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts – this is an example of small group fellowship. A healthy Christian must maintain these two kinds of fellowship life.
