Fellowship in Life

The Lord is so rich, so is His Body. Each member is under the headship of Christ and each member is member one to another. The supply of the Lord is from the member(s) of His Body to the other members. A visitation  of a brother and the fellowship in life were so rich these days. The Lord knows the need of each one and therefore speaks as He deemed best. 

I, as a member, too received a lot of help in life, in living and service. What a blessing to be in the Body! Without which I would be left starved, dry and empty. Praise the Lord for the Body and I am in the Body! Fellowship from a matured brother cherished me and nourished me unspeakably in the following points:

1. Touch the Lord: 

Sounds so simple and basic yet this is extremely important for a believer to go on stably in his Christian life in a normal and proper church-life. This is as crucial as breathing "pneuma (air)" for daily survival and breathing "Pnuema (the Spirit)" for revival. The ways are simple and basic; exercising the spirit day by day, even moment by moment. When a Christian lives such a life, he will love the Lord and will be very sensitive in his conscience; and would not allow any spot in his conscience. This is also related to the maturity in the divine life. When such is the case, his living will testify of his maturity in his purity and sensitivity of conscience. As such, down to earth matters, like money matter and the likes will be handled with utmost care and clarity.

2. The Word of God:

The stability, sincerity, sensitivity and soundness of a Christian very much depends on his understanding, experience and enjoyment of the Word of God. The Word is the very God and the very Spirit Himself. Without this Word and the understanding of it, a person is in darkness; he has no hope, no guidance and no future. Such is a blind man having eyes to see yet not perceiving, ears to hear but not understanding. The daily habit of eating and digesting the Word must be inculcated in every believers and must be his constitution and being. The Word must be studied with much carefulness and diligence, and that the Lord would shine on and through the Word revealing the deep things of God, His plan and His economy. It would not only be a famous dictum of the old, "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path," but much more a life-line of a person's existence and a supply-chain of a person's abundance as blessings to others.

3. Service in the Church:

Any believer having been touched by the Lord and pursuing the Word will spontaneously live a serving life; serving man yet God. This is the universal priesthood the Lord so desired since eternity past, which somehow along the way was lost and is now being recovered from degree to degree. This service is out of the divine life, ministering the divine life and thereby building up the Body of Christ.
