FELLOWSHIPING WITH BELIEVERS

Happy New Year to my dedicated readers and followers. May you experience the greater love of God this year. May the good Lord order your steps in 2015 and may you walk with him throughout this year. Wow God has been great to us! Not everyone made it to 2015, the fact that you’re alive is enough reason to thank God. Well, hope you all had a blessed Christmas. My Christmas was great and exciting and I enjoyed celebrating the birth of the Saviour and I spent a lot of time praising God for his Son Jesus Christ.

The Word for this weekend is titled “Fellowshipping with Believers” Please read it and be transformed.

Psalms 1-3 says that, “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither whatever they do prospers.” (NIV)

From the Bible verses above we can see that a person who takes delight in the Word of God and meditates on it day in and day out will be blessed. A person like this will grow in wisdom and knowledge and will be a fruit bearer. So imagine hanging out with such a person, you will see that the more you spend time with people the more likely you are to follow their steps.

In that same way if you hang out with a sinner or someone who takes delight in sinning, the chances of you sinning is very higher. I’m not saying everyone’s perfect or everyone is free from sin, no not at all. The Bible says in Romans 3:10 that “There is no one righteous, not even one.”(NIV) The point I’m trying to get across is that no one is 100% righteous.

However, in this day of age there are some people who take delight in sinning. They eat sin for breakfast, lunch and supper. So hanging out with such person might even make you a pro. You might not only eat sin for breakfast, lunch and supper you might slide in a few snacks in between meals. 1 Corinthians 15:33 says it all. It says “Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character” (NIV) Well there you have it.

What am I driving at? Why don’t you start making friends with other believers like yourself? Fellowshipping with fellow believers will help you to grow more in your walk with God.

Proverbs 13:20 says “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.” (KJV)

So aim to walk with wise people and you’ll possess wisdom and knowledge. Make it a point at the beginning of this New Year to walk and fellowship with people who fear the Lord and I’m pretty sure you’ll never regret making this decision. I am a living testimony of this so try it and see how it goes.

Thank you for spending time to read this. God bless you and hope you enjoy the first weekend of the New Year. Have a great week ahead. Feel free to share this blog with friends and family. This could be the best New Year gift you can ever give to anyone.
