10,000 hours for mastery of a complex skill or material
September the Lord will bless us with
(Give a Preview of September Assemblies)
30 days
720 hours
43200 minutes
If you attend every assembly of BCoC you will spend
180 mins in 4 Sun Schools 45ea
360 mins in 4 Sun morn assemblies 90ea
180 mins in 3 Sun Eve assemblies 60ea
225 mins in 5 Wed Bible classes 45ea
945 mins total assemblies for September
That means you will spend 2% of your allotment of blessed time in the assembly of the Church.
If attending the assembly were a skill, you would need 10,000 hours or 600,000 mins to be a master of it.
That means it would take you
634+ months or 52+ years
There is good and bad news where this time is concerned. I’ve only been a Christian since October of 1987, barely 24 years not even half way to mastery of the Assemblies of The Church. That’s perhaps bad news. We need to realize however that this method up into this point is largely physical.
Good news is, there are ways to achieve mastery, given to us in God’s Word that super charges the benefits of our physical efforts. Just like we have that which is natural (worldly; fleshly; physical…). We also have that which is supernatural which comes from God. That is supernatural are those things that are of the Spirit.
Scripture teaches that if we do not do the things we learn from God’s Word, we will forget those things.
James 1:23 (ESV): 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.
So some of the super natural things we need to be doing are:
Walking in the truth we learn from scripture, here are 7 things to consider
Pray for wisdom and God’s guidance
Faithfully attend the assembly with purpose and intention
Forgive those in your life as the Lord teaches
Love your enemies and those who oppose you
Extend Grace to others instead of judgement
Add to your Faith as scripture prescribes
Teach others
These efforts cause supernatural growth, because these are the things of God and are not bound by physical/ natural rules.
