fellowshiping together!

Hi friends,

Sometime ago the Holy Spirit was teaching me about the importance of togetherness and I will like to share this with us today. I remember as a young Christian how some of my fellowship leaders tried to define fellowship. One of them said it simply meant fellows in a ship. What an analogy!

Hebrews 10:25 says;

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another; and so much more, as ye see the day approaching.

During the said period, even long after I had heard so many messages on fellowship. It didn’t mean so much as the lesson the Lord taught me that week.

For the better part of the week I was just being indifferent to almost everything. I wouldn’t say I was sad neither can I say I was happy. I was just there. When it was time for fellowship, I had a thousand reasons why I shouldn’t be there but I just forced myself to go.

My fellowship leader was the first to cheer me up when he told me how I was looking a lot younger. You can’t imagine how good I felt as myself and his wife busted out laughing.

Then it was time for testimony but I just couldn’t put myself together to testify until, the coordinator began to tell us about what had happened to another testifier in a programme he attended.

Immediately he finished his analogy, I jumped to my feet my others applauded me. You can imagine what that meant to a discouraged fellow!

Praise worship was superb despite the fact that there were no musical equipment and the  singer was not a professional but believe you me, it was uplifting.

The message was as if the preacher was reading my mind though obviously, he was not. By the time fellowship ended , I was a different me beaming with smiles all over.

The word of God which says iron sharpeneth iron is very true. I adjoin you not to ever forsaking the assembling of the brethren no matter who offends you. The road is too rough to walk alone without help.

Also endeavor to be an encourager to someone out there that might just be what is needed for the now.

God bless you and yours richly!

Your friend and fellow companion,
