Hope to have u guys back for our next sat's dinner party @ expo, gonnna be FUN!
CG meeting was great on friday, we prayed for our friends and members after that i shared a short msg about Fellowship. Alot of times we take fellowhip for granted and quote busyness, tiredness as an excuse but it's important for us to remember the biblical principle behind fellowship.
1 John 1:7 says that "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[a] sin."
In other words, if we are not walking in the light( in righteousness before God) and in fellowship, the blood of Jesus will not cleanse us. Therefore, we have to make a choice to be committed to fellowship.
Our fellowship should be centered around 3 areas
1. The Apostles’ doctrine = Teaching of God’s Word. (CG meetings)
2. Breaking of bread = Enjoying each other’s company. (Having meals, doing activities tog)
3. Prayer = Praying together.
In this fast-paced and stressful society that we live in, it's inveitable that we feel emotionally and physically drained from time to time and feel like keeping our spare time to ourselves or loved ones. Yet, i realised that it's those times that i decide to go beyond my emotions and make time for fellowship with fellow christians or attend cg meetings that i really feel refreshed and strengthened. Even though i may not share about what i'm going through yet being in the presence of fellowship, God will somehow encourage me and lift me up emotionally.
Someone once told me that "we must make time for what is important to us". Fellowship can either be a chore we dread or a lifestyle we enjoy, the choice is really up to us. Nevertheless, i truly believe that as we make a decision to do that which pleases God our lives will be blessed! =)
