A group of invading Japanese cavalry was billeted in a Chinese village. On their arrival, they discovered a mud church bearing the notice, "This is a Jesus Chapel." Eight of the cavalrymen proved to be Christians, and they fairly hugged the old Chinese pastor, explaining how glad they were to find a Christian home in the place. During the time they were in the village, they attended worship, praying and singing hymns with their Christian brethren. When they left, they gave every house where they had stayed the equivalent of two dollars, as well as a large bag of oats.
Acts 20:9 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.
In our journey on this side of heaven, we might go places. But it's important that you and I do connect into a fellowship wherever we are. People who stay away from fellowships are scared of accountability and for some, it's responsibility. While Paul was in Troas, he made sure that the Church was in order. Order here basically means they were willing to meet each other and grow in the Lord. This is ultimate for any Christian because this is God's plan. The design of a family to understand each other and help each other. You will only understand it when you connect to God and to God's people as well. So make use of every opportunity and meet them.
