God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the
fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord
(1 Corinthians 1:9).
There’s no love without fellowship; fellowship is the fruit of
love. Abraham was called the “friend of God” (James 2:23) because he enjoyed a close
fellowship with the Lord.
Now, God has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus
Christ, which means you’re called into oneness, partnership, and union with the
Lord Jesus. You have to be in constant
communication with the Master. Study His Word to hear from Him; listen in your
spirit for His voice, for He has said, “My
sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27). As you fellowship with Him in prayer, His perfect
will is unveiled to you; His counsel and guidance for your life are made clear
to you. The Holy
Spirit is the One that helps you in your fellowship with Jesus,
but your heart must be willing. Fellowship is something you do consciously in
response to the Master’s love.
If you really love Jesus, you should be willing to spend time
with Him every day. Remember, He’s the Word made flesh, so you spend time with
Him when you spend time studying and meditating on the Word. Your fellowship with the Lord is unique to
you. He doesn’t have, has never had, and will never have a copy of you, and
that’s why He cherishes your fellowship and love. You’re His partner and
friend, in a way no one else in the world can be. Make Jesus your greatest friend, and walk
with Him everyday. Your times of personal Bible study, prayer, worship, and
praise should be sacred moments; don’t take them lightly. The more you relate
with Him through His Word and the Spirit, the more His character and
personality are revealed in and through you.
Dear Father, what joy it is to know that I can relate
with you in love, and enjoy the fellowship of the God-kind! By the power of the
Holy Spirit, I enjoy a deeper and richer fellowship with Jesus every day, and
through that fellowship, not only is Christ formed in me, His character is
revealed through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
