Our fellowship With Him
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).
Fellowship means oneness. It’s a coming
together; a union. And in the context of our
opening text, it means being in the same class with
God. We’ve been brought into an inseparable oneness
with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. No
wonder Peter calls us “comrades of the God-kind”;
partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4).
The same life that flows in the vine (Jesus), flows
in the branches (the church), because we’re one with
Him. This is a marvelous thing about our Christianity;
our oneness with the Lord. It’s the reason Jesus came.
The Bible says, “God is faithful, by whom ye were
called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our
Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:9).
How could you be broke, poor, or live an ordinary
life, when you’re in fellowship with God? Part of
what that means is that you’re a joint-heir with Christ!
Everything that belongs to Jesus Christ belongs to you,
in the same way that it belongs to Him. That’s the grace
of Jesus Christ. He’s brought you into oneness with
Himself. The world belongs to you. Live and walk in
this consciousness.
Nothing can work against you. Romans 8:28 says,
“And we know that all things work together for good
to them that love God….” It doesn’t matter how dark
and gloomy things get, you’re a victor in Christ Jesus,
because you’re in league—in partnership—with the
Monarch of the universe. Anywhere you are in the
world, God knows, God cares, God is concerned,
and He’s mindful of you to do you good. This
consciousness will change your perception of the
world, and of yourself.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the privilege of being in fellowship
with you, with Jesus and with the Holy Spirit; my life is made!
The world belongs to me! I’m unlimited; all things are mine
in Christ. I express the life and character of the Spirit to my
world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
