★ 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."
