Do not be like those who fall for the Christian fellowship trap. They are under the impression
and teaching that you must have fellowship otherwise you are not a true Christian. The
problem is when people think they must have fellowship and seek fellowship they end up
getting with the wrong people. They start listening to man and not to God and satan
uses those around them to distract them to cause them to stumble. To take their eyes
off Jesus Christ. You see we do not need fellowship to enter the kingdom. We need fellowship WITH
JESUS CHRIST. That is who we need fellowship with. If you do not have fellowship with Jesus
Christ and you die, your name will not be found written in the lambs book of life. He
only writes names in that book, of those who abide in him, they have fellowship with him
and he has fellowship with them. When we have fellowship with Jesus, his blood cleanses
us from all sin because we are walking in oneness and unity with Jesus Christ. But the
problem with many Christians today, is that they seek fellowship, but those of whom they
seek fellowship with, are living in sin and they condone sin and so they fellowship with
those who are workers of darkness and this fellowship destroys the faith of many. It
is written not to associate with those who profess Christ but live in sin. So when you
go along to your church and there is all these people interested in the latest sport news,
then you know that there is no fellowship there for you unless you want to break the
rules and start having fellowship with darkness. The road of a disciples is a lonely road.
You are not going to meet many people who put Jesus first and who are only interested
in what Jesus wants them to do. You are going to meet them here and there and then you will
have fellowship, but you will not find much fellowship because for instance the early
disciples like Paul and Peter spent a lot of time alone or with one or two other brothers.
They got the gospel from Christ from fellowship WITH Christ. Paul spent a lot of time alone
in the desert getting to know Jesus. A lot of the time he suffered alone, and the died
alone. Paul wrote not to forsake gathering with those of the true faith, that is true,
but the problem is with this day and age is that people don't want to have fellowship
with Jesus. They seek fellowship with man and that is why they start getting disappointed
because they start listening to man and then man lets them down and they start to blame
God because of man's failure and they end up in the darkness, because they allowed themselves
to be ruined by all this fellowship. What fellowship do you have today? There is only
one fellowship that counts and that is getting your relationship sorted out and straightened
out with Lord Jesus Christ. If you don't get that fellowship straightened out, you will
not be able to benefit anyone who is in need of Jesus. And when you do walk with the Lord,
he will help you to provide the right kind of fellowship that leads people to be disciples
of Jesus. Not just fellowships of friends where you just waste time and start sinning
with your words and start being foolish in the world. That is the unfortunate situation
in many churches. Seek the right fellowship before it is too late. Jesus bless you...
