Fellowship with the Lord By Meditating on His Word. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works (2 Tim. 3:16-17). The first level of fellowship that you must work on this month is, the fellowship with the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit; and the first way that the Holy Spirit accomplishes this in our lives is through prayers. The second way is through meditation on the Word of God. In this special month of Fellowship, you must take out time to meditate on the Word of God daily. This is because the Holy Spirit helps us fellowship with the Father and the Son through the Word of God. The Father teaches and counsels us through His Word. There are those who say that experience is the best teacher, and some others say that life itself is the best teacher; both are not true. It may be possible for you to learn a few things from your experiences in life, but the best teacher in life is Gods Word; the instruction manual for living. Thats why the Bible says, Every Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching (2 Timothy 3:16-17 WNT). Theres no better way to be a success in life than to follow the Word of God and do what it says. There are folks who only learn through terrible experiences the things they could have learnt if they had only followed the Word of God. Such people experience crises in their business, marriage and other areas of life. But you dont need to learn that way. You dont have to lose all your investments to learn how to handle your finances properly. Neither do you need to have experienced a rocky marriage before you learn how to love your spouse. This is why in this month of Fellowship; you must fellowship with the Lord by studying and meditating on His Word. David said, thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path (Psalm 119:105). The Message Translation puts it this way: By your words I can see where Im going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path. This means that as you fellowship with the Lord by studying and meditating on His Word, the Word of God illuminates the paths of your life; it gives you direction and the `know-how to succeed in life. Through the counsel of the Word you’ll be saved from regrettable experiences. Hallelujah! You dont have to live by trial and error; stick with the Word, and everything about your life will work out beautifully well. Yielding to the Word of God and living by it will make you a wonder to others. Theyd begin to ask how come life is so easy for you! The answer is simple: the Word of God has become the pilot of your life. So, fellowship with the Lord by studying and meditating on His Word. Glory to God!
