Fellowship: The Flow of Life

Fellowship is the flow of the divine life from God the Father in Christ the Son as the Holy Spirit into all the believers. This fellowship from God passing through the apostles and then to the believers is my portion too. In this fellowship, there is the vertical aspect with God and the horizontal aspect with the believers and is an interwoven fellowship causing the mingling of God and man and the blending of man and man issuing in the growth in life for the building up of the Body of Christ. This fellowship is a circulation in the Body of Christ making the Body alive and revived. It is in this fellowship that all the believers have been called to, including me.

The past few weeks, due to lockdown, we have not been able to meet physically for a one-on-one fellowship. But as we delved into the truth concerning fellowship the Lord opened the door for one-on-one fellowship last week. First, I could fellowship with a brother at his home concerning his family situation and prayed together. We had a brotherly fellowship rending help to one another. The following day, a brother came over to pursue a message on the life-study of Colossians, after which we had an hour-long fellowship. Then the next day, another brother casually came over and we had a time of fellowship on the matter of the truth concerning the bread breaking meeting and the ground of oneness. And last Saturday, a brother's family came and we had practical fellowship, basically helping the family out in their practical needs. 

As the Lord's speaking was on the intrinsic fellowship, He also brought us to practically experience His speaking. According to the truth we learned, we also got to experience it right away in the same week our pursuing was also on the same topic.  His hands followed His speaking right away. What a blessed experience of fellowship in the Body!

In fellowship, the Lord clarified many ambiguous feelings and thoughts in our lives.  Even today, as I had fellowship with the brothers and sisters from Nagaland, the Lord showed us the way we should go on. We prayed and planned for a literature visit to Nagaland, targetting all the Christian leaders in various Christian groups, theologians of various Bible colleges, and seeking believers, to introduce and distribute the ministry literature especially the Holy Bible Recovery Version.  Along with this burden, in fellowship, the Lord also made it clear that the brothers can start planning for the practical need of the Lord's move in  Nagaland. Like setting up a bank account and two brothers responsible for taking care of the burdened saints' offering. In prayer and fellowship, all these practical items were brought forth. I believe this is the leading of the Lord for His move in Nagaland.

May the Lord preserve me in the flow of the divine life all the days of my life, in sweet fellowship in the Body.
