GodReflection: Power Words
Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; – Psalms 95:6
Religious folks reach some of the strangest conclusions.
I should stop right here and express my gratitude to God for His unfathomable grace that covers the countless times I too reach wrong conclusions.
Ok, so the above sentence is my disclaimer as I attempt to explore the power found in the relation of fellowship to worship.
An erroneous assumption floats among we who claim to give allegiance to Jesus.
Wrongly, I assumed fellowship to be within my power to extend or to revoke. Talk about a mistaken idea.
Fellowship is a state I join not a privilege I extend.
In New Testament Scripture, our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. In addition—included—is the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
I also read in the New Testament Letters that God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Here is what I think.
Only God extends fellowship. He invites me into fellowship through His son.
To be in the fellowship of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is cause for 24/7 worship.
It is to that fellowship I can be devoted. There, I rub shoulder with all of God’s invited guests. I cannot extend or deny that fellowship to anyone for it is not mine to give or to take away. It belongs to God.
Early first century Believers devoted themselves to the fellowship. They learned there wasn’t shared ground between the fellowship of God and the fellowship of Satan. Only liars make that claim.
The good news is that I encounter within the fellowship—the light of Jesus, relationship with other disciples, and the security of knowing the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies [me] from all sin.
As Scripture uses the word, I cannot establish fellowship with others on grounds of allegiance to the Bible, specific doctrines, or church designations.
My fellowship is with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
When I enter into the arena of the Holy, I find a sphere of fellowship so deep, wide, and rich, that my Bible, my doctrinal understandings, and my church, serve to enrich fellowship with the Godhead rather than to generate division between the children of God.
Therefore, it becomes my aim to be in fellowship with Father, Son, and Spirit, during my daily walk. The thought of my feeble attempt to see fellowship in the dimension of the 
Holy should drive me to 24/7 worship.
What am I missing here? Doesn’t this make fellowship depend on what God has done for me, rather than upon what I attempt to do for Him?
Stay tuned.
