STOP THAT FELLOWSHIP

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)


DATE: MONDAY, 11TH JULY, 2022 


TOPIC: STOP THAT FELLOWSHIP


TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:11-12 


11.  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose [them.]

12.  For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.


MESSAGE: 

The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary defines fellowship as an organised group of people who share an interest, aim or belief. In the two verses in our text, Apostle Paul was emphatic in telling the Ephesian Church not to fellowship with unfruitful works of darkness. This was not the first time he would be addressing people on this matter. He also mentioned it to the Church at Corinth in his second letter that they should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers and their works (2Cor. 6:14-18). Beloved, every Child of God is known by what he or she does or associates with (Matt. 7:17). 


Amos 3:3 says “Can two walk together unless they are agreed?” How will you say you are a child of God and you still keep company with cultists, rapists, bandits, fornicators, idolaters, backbiters, and the likes. Your life is not supposed to glorify the devil; it should but be a source of praise to the Shepherd of your soul. You have no reason to associate with wrong people. No situation should be considered strong enough to drive you into fellowship with Satan through wrong relationship. Sinners are bound to entice you but you should not consent. Keeping bad company will make you forfeit the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Allow Jesus Christ rule your life entirely even in your choice of friends. God bless you.


PRAYER: 

Lord, help me not to associate myself with any work of darkness in Jesus’ name. Amen.


Have a blessed new week in Jesus name!

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh
