When lions are around, animals like elephants and water buffalo gather together into tight herds.
The lions do not mess with a whole line of tusks or horns backed up by tons of muscle. Instead, the lions look for an animal which is isolated from the herd. If there isn’t one, they work on getting one separated from the others. And once the animal is separated and on its own, the lions attack, often jumping on its back.
The poor animal doesn’t have much of a chance when that happens.
Likewise, if a Christian gets isolated from other Christians, he or she becomes easy prey for demons. A lone Christian is more easily tempted, and will have less help when she comes under attack.
This is one of the reasons it is so very important for Christians to be in constant fellowship with other Christians.
Going to church and attending Bible studies are not just nice social events; they are vital defences against a real and dangerous enemy.
The New Testament constantly presents Christianity as a team effort, a family affair, and a group thing.
Don’t get eaten by lions! Stay in fellowship with other Christians. Attend church and Bible studies and prayer groups. If you see a brother or sister in Christ under attack, charge in to help them with the power of Christ. Stay close to Jesus.
