Brotherly Fellowship

When brothers requested for fellowship, I always gave time to fellowship with them even as I looked to the Lord for the flow of life and the shining of light that through the fellowship everyone would be cherished and also nourished with the word of God.  In all our meetings, be it a big gathering or a small group meeting, always open to the Lord and to one another to receive life supply and also to be ever ready to supply life to one another. Our meetings are special and cannot be equated with worldly meetings. As the Bible says, everything must be done for the building up.

What then, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up. 1 Cor. 14:26

Last Lord's day, I went with a brother to attend a Lord's day meeting conducted by another brother who is not in the church life yet. Since he invited and also requested to share the word of God, I ministered the word on the importance of being the children of God and the meaning of the Christian life.  That was our fellowship to the entire congregation. 

Yesterday, three brothers who just graduated from their full-time training came for fellowship over lunch. I simply encouraged them to look to the Lord for every matter as they have decided to join the third-year training for further training and practical learning in serving the saints. The Lord burdened me to fellowship with them on seeking God's will in every matter of their life and service and shared some testimonies of how the Lord has been faithful to meet all our needs. As they were so encouraged, I pray that they all will become useful vessels to the Lord and become pillars to bear the Lord's testimony wherever they are, one day. In the evening a brother also came, and I encouraged him to be in fellowship with the saints as he will be going abroad. The Lord has prepared all these young brothers to bear His testimony. 

Unless otherwise there is a valid reason for not fellowshipping with the brothers, in some exceptional cases, I will always make myself ready for fellowship and prayer. For the same reason of maintaining the fellowship in the Body, a brother and I started going through the morning revival portion day by day. 

May the Lord continue to work in them, train them, and make them all pillars to be His testimony!
