“GOD’S GRACE ENABLES STRONG FELLOWSHIP”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“What we have seen and heard, we are proclaiming to you so that you too may have fellowship with us. Our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Yeshua the Messiah.” (1 John 1:3)
What we have seen and ourselves heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. This fellowship that we have, which is a distinguishing mark of Christians, is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ, the Messiah, and the Anointed One.
The natural man likes spending all his time in pursuit of personal, social, material or business gains.
When he was converted and received a call to minister, Paul the apostle spoke Philippians 3:7-8: Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege, the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
I am progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him of perceiving, recognizing, and understanding Him more fully and clearly.
For His sake, I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish, refuse, dregs, in order that I may win and gain Christ the Anointed One.
Yet all of the accomplishments that I once took credit for, I’ve now forsaken them and I regard it all as nothing compared to the delight of experiencing Jesus Christ as my Lord!
Whatever tries to come between God and us should be discarded as dung.
Whatever decreases our prayer time and our intimate communion with God should be disposed of.
Fellowship glorifies God. It makes Him happy. God desires and commends it, He brings His blessings upon us when we fellowship in love.
Fellowship strengthens and binds the members of the body of Christ together.
The joy of the Lord becomes our strength.
Fellowship brings joy to brethren, and it also restores backsliders and brings those back home who have strayed afar.
Fellowship attracts unbelievers to Christ.
When they watch our relationship with one another, the display of unfeigned love, they will cherish our company.
Fellowship multiplies the grace of God in our lives, and great is our reward when we maintain true fellowship.
MAY WE HAVE TRUE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD AND HIS PEOPLE IN JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME, AMEN!
Somebody shout, “SO HELP ME LORD JESUS!”
Shalom and good morning.
