Sweet Fellowship in Christ Jesus


A fellowship is a group of people who have similar interests. To fellowship, you need to join others to express your faith and be blessed by their presence and contributions.

Ecc 4:10 -12 
10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no-one to help him up. 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
 In this study we will examine verses from the bible to bring to the fore the advantages of Christian fellowship. We will make some time to touch on fellowships we should avoid. Let us remember that where we fellowship, how we fellowship when we meet together is what will make it loving, attractive and long lasting.

Read the scriptures below and discuss what Christian fellowship is all about.
1. Heb 10
 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

2. Prov 27:
17 As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.18 He who tends a fig-tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honoured. 19 As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man.

The 3 Levels Of Spiritual Warfare

The 3 Levels of Spiritual Warfare
2 Corinthians 2:11; Ephesians 1:19-22
REVIEW
There are various offensive weapons we have as Christians. We discover how acts like praise and Worship, prayer, the blood of Jesus can be a very powerful effective tool for every Christian.
INTRODUCTION
In our lesson today we are going to consider the various levels of warfare where we can apply the weapons we studied about in our last lesson.
THE 3 LEVELS OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE
1.   THE HEAVENLIES: There are basically three heavens namely the sky/ firmaments, the second heavens and the third heavens. Satan and some of his heavenly demons reside in the seconds heavens where as God resides in the third heaven. Whenever God sends answers to prayer request to his children from his abode in the third heavens, Satan and his cohorts in the second heavens can fight against it. We therefore have a duty to continue praying and taking charge of the authorities in the heavens. Daniel 10:10-21, Ephesians 2:2
Discussion.
Based on Daniel`s example, how would you ensure that the forces of the air do not hinder answers to your prayers?
2.   THE BELIEVERS MIND: Our mind is the place where most of our personal battles go on. The bible teaches us to be hopeful, steadfast, diligent etc in our walk with God; all these virtues are birthed and nurtured in the mind.

Supernatural Offering

When we talk about an offering, money is inclusive but not the main object. We can offer ourselves sacrificially in many ways. Living a life pleasing to the Lord, giving God our time, living an
