Fellowship

God has placed on my heart the importance of fellowship. As I dive into the Word he has been revealing to me His heart. When I think about the heart of God I come to desire it. The peace that surpasses all understanding, hope and joy flows from Him. And as the Lord sits on the throne of my heart he is refining me into a man after His own heart.

I want to be a man of God that the Lord uses to shine brightly through me to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and to the lost and hopeless.

In the Bible we see examples of people staying at one another homes learning and teaching about Jesus.

In Acts 10 Cornelius was directed to send for Simon called Peter.

Acts 10:30-33 "30Cornelius answered: "Four days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me 31and said, 'Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor. 32Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.' 33So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us."

How amazing how the Lord works in each of us. The Lord works through us to teach one another more about Him. When we come together in His name we learn so much about God's love.

Acts 10:34-35 34Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism 35but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right."

God used Cornelius to teach Peter this important Truth that God wants to reconcile all men from every nation to Himself, and that this is possible through the gift and sacrifice of Jesus Christ our savior. And in turn God used Peter to teach Cornelius about this gift.

David, a man after God's own heart, fellowshipped with Jonathan in God's name. God used each man to uplift and strengthen one another. May God use each one us to uplift and strengthen each other.

Fellowshipping; I wholeheartedly believe that when we come together in Jesus' name He will move in ways unimaginable. I pray that we as children of God will open our hearts to Him and let His will become our own. And that if he brings us together, we would do so in His name and glorify Him. Be it to the glory of God that we shall lift praises to Him forever and ever together in the Lord God Almighty the lover of our souls.

May the God of peace be with you as you fellowship this day with your brothers and sisters.

By His Amazing Grace, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
