READ RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. CALL TO DIVINE FELLOWSHIP - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME. WEDNESDAY, JULY 6TH 2016
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)*
The
highest and most important purpose of Christ in the plan of redemption or
salvation is the call to fellowship. The reason Jesus died for our sins is
because fellowship with God wasn’t possible, until man was saved from sin and
its consequences. So, salvation from sin was a means to a higher purpose, which
is fellowship.
Fellowship
is a call to oneness; it includes participation, partnership, association,
communication, contribution, communion, and intimacy. Can you imagine that God
calls us into such a fellowship, where everything He owns belongs to us, as
much as it does Him? Is that a possibility? Emphatically yes!
That’s
what Christianity is about; we’re in fellowship with the Father, and with His
Son, Jesus Christ. This is the most sublime of all the blessings in
Christianity—our inextricable oneness with the Lord. The prayer of Jesus in
John 17:20-21, where He said, “…That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art
in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us...” is fulfilled in us
today. We’ve become one with divinity. We’re in Him, and He’s in us.
Through
the Spirit, you’ve been immersed into Christ, literally joined with Him as one
divine creation. You ought to enjoy that fellowship every day; it’s not
something you go into and come out of, for you’re in Him, and He’s in you. 2
Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creation….” Colossians 1:27 says, “…Christ in you, the hope of glory.” So, just
like Jesus, you’re in Him, and He’s in you.
No
wonder He says greater is He that’s in you than he that’s in the world (1 John
4:4). The consciousness of this truth will change your life forever, and give
you a unique mind-set, where you walk in victory and dominion in everything and
everywhere. Hallelujah!
*PRAYER*
*Dear
Father, I thank you for the awesome privilege of being in union with you, and
the bliss of fellowship with your Spirit. I’m lifted and transported by the
Holy Ghost into the glorious and higher realms of life, where I only see and
relate with the realities of your Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen*
