I. One day spent in your Temple

One day is important not to be ignored, that's the LORD's day we're talking about, that's the day of the LORD, majority of us will consider it as Sunday as God's day, He's expecting us to be in His house every Sunday. God will not understand you if you're elsewhere other than His house on Sunday, it's His time for Himself and us to be gathering around Him. It's our quality time with Him, don't neglect it. We have already our time, 6 days isn't enough for you? Come on now, church, learn this truth. God has set aside one day for Himself to be with us, and why can't we spend time for Him, it's just one day, out of 6 days we toil, work and spend time for ourselves, give God a break, you MUST be in church every Sunday.

Heb 10:25 Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing. Instead, let us encourage one another all the more, since you see that the Day of the Lord is coming nearer.

II. 1000 Days Elsewhere Is Nothing Compared To 1 Day In God's Temple

1000 days is almost 3 years, more or less. This is even nothing when we're in the LORD, it's His presence that makes us whole, makes us Perfect in progression, don't neglect being with the LORD rather than elsewhere.

III. Being A Guard At The Lord'S Gate Is Better

Guarding, marshalling, being a security or an usher in the Lord's gate is far more better job than any other work, as long as you're inside God's house and temple, nothing could go wrong. It's the perfect place for us every Sunday, or not even Sunday for your ministry involvement. Each ministry you are involved in might require a different schedule, but go on with it, commit with it, you have to do extra day in the LOrd's house, it's perfectly alright just to work for the Lord, don't mind the hard work, it's much better a 1000 day elsewhere, commit with it, support it will your life and pocket. You need extra blessings to impart the same blessings to others as well, you can't give what you don't have. First, have everything in yourself so you can impart, if you don't have much of the Lord, how can you impart much? Ministry involves hard work, hard workers get it all, prosperity, success, and your dream of being with the Lord, there's no short cuts, no easy way in the house of the Lord.
