“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and
the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.”
(2 Corinthians 13:14)
The Greek word translated “communion” above is
“koinonia,” which also means fellowship, participation, and partnership. This
means it’s possible for a man to have a personal relationship with God, the
Creator of heaven and earth. He isn’t unapproachable as the religious folks try
to make us believe. Actually, the Bible reveals that He longs for your
fellowship.
When you’re acquainted with the Lord, you’d
realize He loves you even in spite of your wrongs. In his epistle to the
churches, John said, “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).
So, why does God seeks your fellowship? It’s
because you’re His very offspring; you have His life and nature (1 John
5:11-12). Also, the reason God can fellowship with you is that you have His
life (Zoë) in you. The world doesn’t speak His language, but you do, for His
Holy Spirit lives in you. This is the reason He delights in your worship and
prayers. No wonder He said, “…before they call, I will answer; and while
they are yet speaking, I will hear” (Isaiah 65:24). So you see, prayer is
more than asking Him for things; it’s a fellowship. That’s what the Lord seeks;
your fellowship with Him.
