The Fellowship That Changes Everything

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen (2 Corinthians 13:14).

Our opening scripture above is a powerful benediction. It reveals a divine order: the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. The grace comes from the Lord Jesus. The love is from the Father. But the enjoyment, the living experience of all that God has made available to you, comes through your fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

You may talk about grace and celebrate the love of God. But it’s through the Holy Spirit that these become living realities in your life. He’s the One who brings them into your daily experience and makes them tangible. When you come to know the Holy Spirit, everything changes. There’s a beauty that comes into your life. There’s a colour, a glory, a richness in your walk in righteousness. He empowers you from within.

This Holy Spirit is in you and with you always and forever, not for a season. The Lord Jesus said, “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever” (John 14:16). He’s your teacher. The Bible says, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost… he shall teach you all things…” (John 14:26). He opens your understanding to the Scriptures that you may know and walk in the calling and blessings of God for your life.

1 Corinthians 2:12 says, “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.” He anoints your understanding and grants you insight into divine truths and mysteries of the Kingdom. Through Him, your life takes on a higher dimension. You see beyond the natural, you function with clarity, purpose and certainty.

When you know the Holy Spirit, life becomes limitless. You carry an inward assurance of success, not based on circumstances, but on the One who lives in you. Keep building your fellowship with the Spirit. Walk with Him. Talk with Him. Let Him guide you every day and in all things, and you’ll always walk in glory.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit and the privilege of fellowship with Him. I walk in conscious communion with Him every day, and my life is beautified, guided and empowered by His presence. I live above limitations, expressing your glory in all that I do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
John 16:13 KJV
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

2 Corinthians 13:14 AMPC
The grace (favor and spiritual blessing) of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the presence and fellowship (the communion and sharing together, and participation) in the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen (so be it).

1 Corinthians 2:12 NIV
What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.

There’s Something About You

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you (Romans 8:11).

Christianity is not a religion; it’s Christ in you (Colossians 1:27). It’s the outworking of the God-life in a human person. The Christian is one who has received and manifests the organic and existential attributes of divinity. That’s what makes you different. You didn’t come into religion when you received Christ. You came into reality.

The Bible says, “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life…” (1 John 5:11-12). This life is the transcendent life. Consider the human body. Even in its present, fallen state, it has the ability to reproduce cells, to repair and restore itself. That is human life, yet that life is corrupted due to the fall of Adam.

If that corrupted life can still function at that level, then think about the life of God in you that’s incorruptible, indestructible and divine! The Bible says, “…being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Peter 1:23).

This is what you have now, a life that carries within it the ability to produce and effect changes. The Lord Jesus said, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” (Acts 1:8). That power is the dynamic ability to cause changes. It’s at work in you even now; it’s in your system.

It helps you understand when the Scripture says if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He will vitalize your mortal body (Romans 8:11). He gives life to your physical body. 2 Corinthians 4:7-11 tells us something remarkable; it says, “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed....”

You’re indestructible. You’re a victor forever. You can never be disadvantaged. You have the ability to produce and reproduce success. You carry that power, the genes of excellence within you. It’s for the same reason that the Bible says whatsoever you do, shall prosper (Psalm 1:3).

You must realise and walk in the consciousness of this reality. There’s something about you: something divine and powerful; something that sets you apart from the ordinary. The Bible says, “...greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). Let this be the mindset that defines your life every day.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for your life in me, and I’m conscious of its power and work in my spirit, and the ministry of the Holy Ghost in my entire being. The divine life vitalizes my body and produces changes in every area of my life. I walk in dominion, strength and victory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
2 Corinthians 4:7-11 NIV
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. [8] We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; [9] persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. [10] We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. [11] For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.

1 John 5:11-12 NIV
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

1 Corinthians 6:19 NIV
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
