IT IS ABOUT FELLOWSHIP

-

Revelation 3:20

“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.

Relationship is a two way affair, it becomes a burden or domineering when it comes one way.

When we make our relationship with God a one way affair we wonder why we don't have complete happiness even when our desires are met.

It is not about the needs or the wants it is about fellowship . . . Jesus said:

Matthew 6: 8, 32
"Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
"For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

Jesus makes all the difference, He is the one who reveals the Father to us and in this our joy is full. Not because of the things, but because of Him. When we get this right, then our joy may be full.

John 15:11
"These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

John 16:24
"Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

It is about fellowship!

1Corinthians 1:9
God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

1John 1:3
that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

Really nothing in this world can satisfy, we will keep seeking for more and more. What really we desire is full joy NOT earthly possessions, pleasures and achievements, they cannot give us that. What it gives is only temporary we will thirst again.

John 4:13-14
Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,
"but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."

The worries and troubles of this life could make our mind wonder away, only to think of needs, wants and solutions.

Some ministers have also derailed making those that follow them miss the way. They even teach the error that "these things" are "the importance", so people don't seek or have fellowship with the Lord anymore but seek "all these things".

I do not understand what it is with man and domineering? They did be careful for it is dangerous to try to take God's place.

Let us remember as we fellowship with other believers that we fellowship with the Father, in the name of the Son through His Spirit for then will our joy be full.

I see us enjoying our relationship with God this last quarter of the year.

He calls us blessed.

Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
