* Speaker: Mr. Johnson Amadi 

* Topic: The Power in Fellowship (2)

* As a believer, you are a winner

→ To win connotes the fact that you must have contended for something

* As we gather together as believers in Jesus, there is power in our midst

* Together, we are invincible 

→ The Most High God has put a mark of victory upon us

* If you consider yourself as a believer in Jesus, you must not stay away from the gathering of other believers

★ Psalm 133:1 →''Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!"

* As believers in Jesus Christ, we are brothers and sisters (brethren) because we have the same Father

★ John 14:1 → "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also."

* One of the reasons why we must fellowship together is because we are expectant of the second return of the Lord Jesus Christ

* After the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, believers will be reunited with Him and any form of 'fellowship' (on earth) will not be to His glory any longer - and may be done under stringent conditions

* Fellowship is important because we are members of the same family

* There is strength in united fellowship

★ Deuteronomy 32:30 → ''How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Unless their Rock had sold them, And the Lord had surrendered them?"
