CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP
What is Fellowship? The word mean to be in companion with someone or to be familiar with, and to gather to together.
While there are many people gathering together they are not gathering in the name of God and Jesus Christ, they are gathering for the purpose of the world and to satisfy their flesh. Christian Fellowship is when those who profess that they are a Christian gather or assemble themselves in the House of God the Church, or gather somewhere else together for the purpose of giving God praise and Glorifying him and his Son Jesus Christ.
Anyone who professes to be a Christian but does not come to the Church, with the exception for illness, work or unforeseen problems on the Lord's day(mainly Sunday) that the church gather together is a Liar and hypocrite:
HEBREWS 10TH Chapter, 24 & 25 Verses, And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching (The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night).
Many people are making all kind of excuses about the Church; Church people are not right (worldly people are not right, but you are still willing to gather with them). Many are going down to the night clubs, parties and malls, sports games and entertainment shows and gathering with most people who they do not know.
Dogs run together in fellowship, cats run together in fellowship because the rats and the dogs does not like them. Cows pasture together in fellowship because they don't eat slop like the pig. Sharks and fishes cannot fellowship together because the shark want to destroy and eat the fish. College students fellowship together because they are in college together. Church people fellowship together because they are in Christ. Ants stay together in fellowship because they are ants, but when it come to many professing to be Christians they fellowship with the world and not their brothers and sister is Christ (the church).
1ST JOHN, 1ST CHAPTER, 3 - 6 Verses, That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things write we unto you, that your Joy may be full 5 This then is the message which we heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is not darkness at all 6 If we say that we have Fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth. John is saying we know him because we saw him with our eyes, touched him(Jesus) with our hands and heard his word (because we had fellowship with him)
The bible says that a tree is known by the fruit that it bears. If you fellowship with the world, there is a strong possibility that you are not God's child because you walk with those who are lost in darkness.
People say they are churched out because they still live in sin. The church is the body of Christ. If you don't like the church body then you are not in Christ. Some profess to know him, but they don't know what he require of them.
If you don't fellowship with the church, how do you know that you are one the same accord.
1ST Corinthians, 1st Chapter, 9th verse, God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. How can you have fellowship with God and Jesus when you don't fellowship with his church (coming to church).
