*TOPIC: FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD*
“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth” 1 John 1:6
*MESSAGE*
When we experience disagreement with a member of our family, it does not change the fact that we are still members of the same family, but our conversations can become superficial and difficult. We might even find that we become more comfortable spending time apart than together. In other words, we don’t really want to fellowship with that person anymore.
Fellowship involves dedicating time to spend with another person, or group of people, which allows us to experience growth and development in our relationships. But we don’t just need it for our human relationships, we also need to have fellowship with God. If we lose trust, start to doubt or question God’s character, suddenly our prayers can become surface level and shallow. And we begin to avoid spending time with God. Without fellowship with God, our lives will start to look different. God stops being our priority and we become more focused on other things.
The main way we can ensure that we’ll have fellowship with Jesus is by following Him each day and obeying His commands. When Peter and the disciples were fishing, the Lord told them to cast their nets on the right side of the boat. When they obeyed Him, they caught a boatload of fish. What followed was something even greater. The disciples had a time of fellowship with Jesus while sharing a meal together. So if we’re feeling out of step with Jesus today, could it be that we have stopped fellowshipping with Him or started going our own way, rather than His? If that’s so, let’s do something about it.
*ACTION POINT*
?️ Decide to spend some special moment with God today.
*SCRIPTURES*
Psalm 27:4; Psalm 23:6
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Father, thank You for lavishing Your love upon me;
2. I receive fresh grace to fellowship with Jesus everyday in Jesus name;
3. Lord, let the supplications of my heart be acceptable unto thee in Jesus name.
