Are you part of a fellowship?

There are various meanings to the word fellowship. Among them are: “Community of interest, activity, feeling, or experience. A company of equals or friends. Companionship. Company.”  There is also a greek word for fellowship, Koinonia, which means: “Christian fellowship,” literally “communion,” from koinos, which means: common. In true fellowship, there is no elitism. There is a sense of mutual benefit. In some cases it is like a family. In Fellowship, there is the sharing of ideas, resources, love, care, mutual benefit among other things. When we become part of a local church, we become part of a fellowship, where we worship God together, bless each other, learn together, minister together and serve community together. But the most important part of our fellowship is with God Himself. Psalms 138:6 (AMP) “Though the Lord is exalted, He regards the lowly [and invites them into His fellowship]; But the proud and haughty He knows from a distance.” God is inviting you to fellowship and spend time with Him daily. Jesus taught us to pray daily to the Heavenly Father. This is not new. Enoch fellowshipped with God: Genesis 5:22 (AMP) “Enoch walked [in habitual fellowship] with God three hundred years after the birth of Methuselah and had other sons and daughters.” Enoch pleased God. Paul taught the church in Ephesus that in Christ, we are in fellowship with one another and are being built up together so that God can dwell in us and among us. Ephesians 2:22 “In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” Understand therefore, being part of His Body is more that just going to church; you are part of the Church, His Body, the Ekklesia, the called out ones. You are in fellowship with God and with His Body. There is no greater fellowship than that!
