FELLOWSHIP

From the beginning of time God has ordained man (mankind) to be in perfect harmony with each other, by a simple, yet powerful gift that he has given to the body of Christ, a beautiful way of living in unison. This magnificent gift is indeed a reflection of God our heavenly Father. This gift brings all men together for the glory of the almighty God in heaven, and it is to be a demonstration to the world. This beautiful gift for all men is love of God. The love of God can only be shared and felt by fellowship with the brethren towards each other and then to the world. This remarkable gift from God is how we, the body of Christ, initially came into God's presence for our salvation and eternity with God.

Fellowship with each other is the foundation of Christianity; without it our walk with the Lord, Jesus Christ, is in vain. We, the body of Christ, must never overlook the brethren or the saints because of their different denominations or races. We are one in Jesus Christ by the baptizing of His Holy Spirit; therefore, let us all take heed of this sure thing, that less is greater concerning the kingdom of God. We must absolutely never turn our backs on the brethren that need help for the kingdom of God. We must always extend a hand of fellowship with one another,  the church, especially the brethren who are preaching and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world, in the saving of souls.

There is no greater love than to lay down your life, putting aside, sacrificing for the brethren concerning the work of the kingdom of God. Our heavenly Father has bestowed and poured his love in us, shed abroad in our hearts not for ourselves but for each other and then the world. We must not walk in complacency, believing that God has only called us or our demonstration for spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. God has called all men to repentance by his love to himself; therefore, let us all shake off and repent of jealousy, hatred, and competition towards each other and put on and be clothed with the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

We are not to be as Cain, who slew Abel, his own brethren, and slew him because Abel’s offering was better than his. God our Father in heaven does not want this for his church. We are to love each other and to have fellowship with the Holy Spirit; in doing so, he will guide us every time. The truth, beloved, is that Jesus Christ is Lord and the Messiah. We his servants are to preach and teach this gospel to the world, so let us continue to walk in the love of God and towards each other. Let us earnestly have fellowship with one another by extending each other with the right hand of fellowship, regardless of our denominations and races, for we are one in Christ Jesus through the Holy Spirit. AMEN. 

Glory to God,

“And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me (JOHN 17: 19-21) 

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 JOHN 1: 5-7)

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” (GALATIANS 2:9).

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” (PSALM 133:1).
