Seek Each Other's Interest

Theme for the Week: SOLIDARITY IN CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

Topic: Seek Each Other's Interest

Reading: Philippians 2:2-5

Philippians 2:3-4 (NIV)

³Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

⁴not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Christian fellowship is incomplete without seeking the interest of each others. When we look out for other's interest, we are seen as a unified body.

Seeking each other's interest is a way of proving that we have greater love (see John 15:13). Unlike the heathens love which is selfish, always seeking to gain something more, the Christian love expects nothing more than the fellowship.

One way to fulfill Jesus' prayer in John 17:20-21 that we be one is to seek each other's interest. Let us embrace this call and make the joy of Christ complete.

Stay blessed! Shalom.

Let's Pray

Almighty God, be praised forever. Lord, may the interest of other brethren be my interest, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Mutual Fellowship

Theme for the Week: SOLIDARITY IN CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

Topic: Mutual Fellowship

Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15

1 Thessalonians 5:14 (NIV)

And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone

Fellowship refers to a company of people that share the same interest. It is a feeling of friendship, relatedness or connection between people.

Fellowship must be mutual. It must be collective and reciprocal. You cannot live in isolation and expect to have fellowship with others.

Dear friend, as we fellowship with one another, let us look for the weakness in each other, and supplement them while we can; for we are one body with one Lord.

Stay blessed!

Let's Pray

Heavenly Father, be glorified. Lord, strengthen our hearts for a mutual fellowship with each other in Christ. Amen.

A Picture of Harmonious Living

Theme for the Week: SOLIDARITY OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

Topic: A Picture of Harmonious Living

Reading: Psalms 133

Psalms 133:1 (KJV)

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

The blessedness of harmonious living cannot be underrated. It is really good and pleasant to behold such an atmosphere of unity.

With one mind, one heart, and one interest do people live in unity. And the beauty of it is that there is no selfishness or envying, thus there is a collective interest at heart for progress and development.

Like the precious oil on the head of Aaron is holy, so also is a harmonious living. As God's one people, let us embrace this goodness and pleasantness in dwelling in unity.

Shalom!

Let's Pray:

Almighty God, to You be all glory and honor. O Lord, may we behold the goodness and pleasantness in dwelling in unity, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Benefit of Fellowship

Theme for the Week: SOLIDARITY IN CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

Topic: Benefit of Fellowship

Reading: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NIV)

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

There is much benefit in fellowship. As today's passage rightly puts it; two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor (Eccl. 4:9).

Perhaps you may be someone who has much strength, and thus do not care whether another pushes you or not. 

However, should you have another to help you with just a little hand, you would realize the strength you can save for other things of great benefits.

In unity lies strength. If the whole body of Christ can stand in fellowship with one another, we can change societies and even nations against all odds. Selah.

Let's Pray:

Gracious God, I praise You. Father, may my fellowship with other believers strengthens the body of Christ. Amen.
