THE IMPORTANCE OF FELLOWSHIP

JULY 26th – CAPSULE 26

TOPIC: THE IMPORTANCE OF FELLOWSHIP

BIBLE TEXT: Psalm 133:1 KJV - Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Fellowship is a spiritual communion shared with a divine being. How glorious it is when we gather in the name of the LORD. As believers, we must always come together in unity to worship the Lord our God. After the ascension of Christ, the apostles brought about the teachings of love and unison amongst the church.

Acts 2:46-47 KJV - And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, [47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

This is the way of the church introduced by the Holy Spirit, that we should not forget the gathering of the brethren. Hebrews 10 vs 25a – Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves… It is pleasant and good to worship together. Jesus said in Matthew 18:20 KJV - For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

The psalmist describes this action as a precious ointment, as the dew of Hermon, like the dew from the mountains of Zion, the throne of God. That our Joy may be full, Christ gave us His Spirit to fellowship and commune with forever.

Fellowship brings love into our hearts and helps to lift up one another when times are sour. Through fellowship we live in the will of God.

Prayer: O LORD, please teach me to fellowship with the brethren, with all my heart in Jesus name.

Insight: Forget not the gathering and fellowship of the righteous.

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him. Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice. (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you. (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall. (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth. (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...
