The Word
TUESDAY MANNA 25 MARCH ‘25

“FELLOWSHIP IS ESSENTIAL TO THE BODY OF CHRIST!”
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.
Fellowship is essential to the life of the body of Christ. God in the Scripture calls us to fellowship. Apostle John declared in his writing that he wants us to have “FELLOWSHIP”.
People who fellowship are individuals who share something in common. Our fellowship must not be an opportunity for gossip, slander, criticise, judge or condemning others but a time to build one another up in Christ Jesus.
When we are out of fellowship with God, our life amounts to nothing and is meaningless. The future becomes bleak, blank and unpredictable. In times of trouble, there will be no one to help and support us. No one can walk alone in the hopeless desert of this world.
Therefore, to refuse the call of fellowship, is to walk in darkness and abandon ourselves to solitude and isolation. Any attempt to avoid fellowship with God deepens the enmity between us and God, separating us from Him here and thereafter.
To be a lone ranger is to walk a lonely path devoid of God’s favour, grace and support.
Without fellowship, our congregation becomes famished, dry, barren and unfulfilled. God’s warm presence disappears conspicuously.
Saints of the living God, make some time for fellowship with other saints and God too. Strike a godly balance now. Do not be too absorbed with yourself.
EDIFY AND NURTURE ONE ANOTHER FOR GOD’S GLORY IN JESUS’ NAME!
Everybody shout a resounding, “AMEN HALLELUJAH!”
Shalom and good morning.
