★ MY SERMON NOTES 

NDIC/DMO Chapel 

Central Business District,

Abuja, Nigeria 

25th July, 2017  

* Speaker: Mr. Johnson Amadi 

* Topic: The Power in Fellowship (5)

* NOTE: We were in darkness and in bondage before God called us into the fellowship of the Light

* Today, people take fellowship and their salvation for granted because they do not know the value of what God has given them

* Fellowship is not an option - it is a command

★ Romans 15:7 → "Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God."

★ 2 Corinthians 13:12 → "Greet one another with a holy kiss."

* Because you are holy, your approach towards others must be Holy - including your conduct towards other believers 

* In a fellowship, there are diverse people with different gifts that can benefit you

* A fellowship is an avenue to carry the burdens of one another

* When you have love, there is no fear 

→ fear erodes love

★ 1 John 4:18 → "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

* God expects us to teach and encourage one another as believers 

 

★ Romans 15:14 → "I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct one another."
