Fellowship One with Another



So you believe? What now? You need fellowship, I need fellowship.One of the main things the early church did after receiving truth was fellowship, Acts 2:42.

"And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers." Acts 2:42

We need to gather with believers of like precious faith, and worship the One true God whom we know manifested in the flesh as Jesus Christ. That scripture first reads they continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrine, so we know that fellowship should first be based on whether those we are fellowshipping are continuing in the apostle's doctrine. Breaking of bread was then on the list which so reminds me of a certain Sabbath service we attended at a Jewish Synagogue.They took the bread and blessed it, and then shared it one with another. When they gave some to me for our family of course it was half a loaf since we are many. We were happy though, that they asked us to share bread. Last of all that Scripture says prayers. We need to continue to pray not only alone, but together and hold each other up in prayer. Each night when we are at our home base our family gathers together after Bible study, and my husband leads us in prayer. One of our children often asks,"Dad, what do I pray?" The answer my husband gives is always to pray as the Lord's Spirit would have you to pray. Sometimes, we don't feel we have a direction and in that instance we can always follow the command of Jesus and pray according to Scripture, and begin to bless the name of God. I hope today that I can encourage someone and be a light and lead them in prayer and truth to the one who holds us all in fellowship one with another, Jesus Christ.
1 John 1:7 "but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son cleanseth us from all sin.


Have a great day in Jesus!
