OUR FELLOWSHIP WITH DIVINITY;
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. (1 John 1:3)
How powerful this is: Our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son, Jesus Christ! This is the greatest thing about Christianity-our fellowship with divinity. Christ’s purpose was to produce associates of the God-Kind; a special class of being with the life and nature of God, thus making it possible for us to fellowship with Him.
1 Corinthians 1:9 says, “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” As a result of this divine fellowship, anything that belongs to the Father belongs to us. Oh, the blessedness of our oneness with the Lord! It’s deeper than association; it’s greater than being in a covenant! He sees Himself in us. He’s never satisfied until we’re satisfied; our joy is His joy, and vice versa. No wonder, the Apostle Paul, writing to Timothy said,” be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 2:1). We’re to take advantage of His grace in our fellowship with Him.
You need to know that God truly loves you, so much so, that He made you one with Himself. Anything that concerns you, concerns Him. You don’t function aside or apart from Him. Become conscious of this. It’s the reason you should never be perturbed about anything in life. Think about it: how could you be in lack when you’re in league with the Monarch of the universe? We’re sons of God; heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ! Glory to His Name forever!
Take full advantage of His love in your life and enjoy the blessed fellowship that He’s brought you into. walk with Him, talk with Him and live fully in Him. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
Precious Father, I rejoice evermore for your life and nature in my spirit, which makes it possible for me to fellowship with you, the Most High God! This is the highest honor and greatest privilege ever conferred. I’m so grateful that you made me inseparable one with you, to truly live for you and fulfill your will and purpose for my life, to your glory and praise, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
