The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen (2 Corinthians 13:14)
The word translated fellowship in our main verse is Greek word “koinonia”. It means a deep fellowship. An intense fellowship with the Holy Spirit where He transports you from one level of glory to another and puts you in a place of advantage over everything and every situation. Spiritual maturity is impossible without such fellowship.
To mature spiritually is to understand the mind of God and act accordingly. And, unless you know Him, you can’t know His mind. Knowing Him is possible only through “koinonia”. God’s desire is for you to mature into His son, to whom he delivers the inheritance and gives responsibility to impact the world. Remember, until a child matures, even though he is a King’s kid, he is nothing better than a servant because he isn’t eligible to exercise his authority and power (ref. Galatians 4:1).
God has called you for transcendent life, and that is possible through the translational power of God which you can only experience when you walk closely with Him. Discipline yourself to pray and hear from the Lord; discipline yourself to study and meditate on His Word; discipline yourself to walk on His leadings and most importantly discipline yourself to stick to His Word and direction, no matter the circumstances or situations. That’s the way to fellowship with Him, that’s the route to spiritual maturity.
Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank You for calling me to a higher life. I recognize my fellowship with the Holy Spirit today, and I give You thanks. Thank You for calling me into fellowship with You. As I spend time with You, I open myself and yield to being transported to higher levels of life. I thank You that You are taking me upward and forward. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
