The reality of fellowship with Christ Jesus!

“Not My will but Yours be done.” Luke 22:42

The definition of fellowship is a friendly association, especially with people who share one’s interests. It implies a sense of companionship. In the context of God, fellowship refers to your relationship with Jesus.

Jesus wants to be your best friend, speak to you, and give you an abundant life but His ways are different. He does not think or act like you.

We tend to interpret fellowship with Jesus as worshipping Him through praise and prayer with an objective to get His help to meet all our needs. This is a very superficial view of fellowship with Jesus.

Fellowship is much more than your private time with Jesus in the morning or before you go to sleep at night. 

Jesus wants you to look at fellowship with Him from a different point of view. 

Fellowship is identifying with the life of Jesus. You walk in the footsteps of Jesus realizing you have been baptized into the death and resurrected life of Jesus.

As a believer, you have been crucified with Christ and will enter into the sufferings of the Cross. This is unavoidable and is the significance of fellowship with Jesus. 

Jesus will brings adversities, pain, and suffering into your life to get you into fellowship with Him. He wants you to give up the right to yourself and your independent lifestyle.

Your dreams and aspirations have to take a backseat to the purposes of Jesus.

Jesus is unpredictable and at times controversial. He defies human logic and will take you on a roller coaster ride with no end in sight. 

Jesus wants you to be anchored into the reality of the Living Christ and reach the point where nothing matters in your life except living in oneness with your Creator. 

Fellowship with Jesus comes with a broken heart, living by faith believing in His promises, and submitting to His authority.

The goal of fellowship is to reach this destination with God; “Jesus can do with me as He pleases. My life belongs to Him.”
