A Real Fellowship

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all (2 Corinthians   13:14 NIV). 

Until the Holy Spirit becomes real in your life, your life will be ordinary. It’s the Holy Spirit that brings you into fellowship with God, and sanctifies you.

Live in real fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Talk to Him, and listen to Him. Interact with Him. Imagine that a particular family just moved into   your neighbourhood, and they live next door to you. If you want to make friends with any member of that family, you’d make the efforts to meet that person and make an acquaintance. You’d introduce yourself to them, and you’d want to get an opportunity to regularly have a conversation with them. Now, when you make these efforts to get acquainted with them, you’re recognizing them. You’re introducing yourself to them because you think they’re worth the attention. 

In the same way, the Holy Spirit has to be recognized. Interestingly, the word translated “spirit” in the Greek, as well as the Hebrew, is the same   word for “wind” or “breath.” But this doesn’t mean the Holy Spirit is wind; He’s a person, and He lives in you. You’re in Him and He’s in you, so you don’t have to go next door to look for Him before you can fellowship with Him. He knows your thoughts, but you’re going to have to talk to Him because thoughts are empowered when vocalized. So, talk to the Holy Spirit and receive from him as well. 

When you begin to enjoy this glorious, wonderful, fellowship with the Holy Spirit, you’ll realize that, indeed, He’s the greatest friend anyone could ever have, and the best teacher there is! He’d teach you about your ministry, business, your finances, your family, your health, etc. He’ll teach you everything, even to the minutest detail of your life. And guiding you with His power, He ensures you’re always on top; never disadvantaged; forever victorious! Hallelujah! 

Confession

Precious Holy Spirit, I’m so blessed for the awesome opportunity to be in fellowship with you, to be led and guided by you in the path of life. I love you so much; there’s none like you—an ever-present help in time of need! How awesome you are!
