00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the Power of Christ Daily. 12th of November 2015 titled what is True Fellowship Part 2. What is True Fellowship Part 2.

00:02 Brothers and sisters, before we go further, yesterday in the Tamil section of the Power of Christ Daily there’s a brother who’s admitted to icu. His name is Peter. We are praying that he will recover.

00:32 They couldn’t operate on him for his heart attacking angioplasty. Couldn’t operate because there’s only water in the lungs or something. So the lung has to be strengthened and cleared.

00:42 Whatever it is, we don’t even have to focus on the issues. We have our heart in Christ for the brother that he will live and declare the name of Jesus Christ and spread the Gospel, the good news and become fishers of men. Fisher of men.

00:58 Brothers and sisters, have this brother in your spirit. Think about him that he will recover and he will by mercy of Christ. Only Christ can give life.

01:09 Only Christ mercy of Christ. We ask for mercy for him and we ask him for Jesus to heal him completely and to be out and to become a Christian, to glorify Jesus name and also to live a life that is pleasing to Christ. In Jesus name I pray.

01:26 Amen. Brothers and sisters, today the true fellowship. What is True Fellowship Part 2.

01:32 You see, yesterday we have read so many things and it’s clear. First we must love God, love Jesus Christ and must do what he wants us to do. You must understand that when we are correcting people and all, we are not self righteous.

01:49 We cannot be righteous by ourselves. We can only be righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus.

01:56 Righteousness is on us because there will always be some fault or other in us. We may not even know. We definitely won’t know.

02:02 Some of the rubbish we did. We won’t know. We won’t remember.

02:04 But our righteousness in Christ, that means we are willing to do what Jesus tells us to do. And then his righteousness comes upon us because we want to follow Him. We are willing to follow him, willing to obey Him.

02:15 We are willing to submit to His Word. We must please him first. So we want to be doing the right thing that he wants us to do.

02:27 So even when we correct people, when we minister, I must remember that I cannot be self righteous. I must only do what he tells me to do in His Word. And we must obey His Word.

02:40 We must must be pleasing to him but willing to obey his word and do the right thing. And of course I must take out the log in my own eye and all that I must follow everything about me first, because I must present myself as a chaste virgin. My soul
must be presented as a chaste virgin unto Christ.

02:58 So, brothers and sisters, today, Colossians 1:18 Continuing on to true fellowship. 1:18 Colossians in I’m reading from the Amplified he is also the head. Jesus Christ is the head, the life source and leader of the body.

03:15 The body of Christ. The body of Christ is him. We are the body of Christ.

03:18 All of us who are following Jesus Christ, who have surrendered our lives to him and said, we submit to his authority. He is a Lord and master. We become the body of Christ, the Church and his beginning.

03:33 And he’s the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will occupy the first place. He will stand supreme and preeminent in everything. We must every day tell ourselves, he is preeminent in everything.

03:47 In my life he is preeminent in everything. In the things I do, he is to preeminence everything in everything. This must be deep down in us.

03:57 He is preeminent even in the fellowship. He, Jesus Christ is preeminent. Now, I’ve told this yesterday.

04:03 Today I’m repeating this because this is critical. Jesus Christ must be made preeminent in everything. Everything I say do, it is Jesus Christ, because His name is above all names.

04:16 Everything is under his feet. He is in me, I am in him, and he is preeminent. He is number one.

04:23 Amen. Matthew 10:44 0 He who receives and welcomes you, receives me he who receives me, receives him who sent me. Now let’s break this down a bit.

04:26 He who receives and welcomes you, receives me, the person. That means the fellowship. Now that we receive and welcome another brother, another sister in Christ, we receive him, we welcome him or her.

04:50 Matthew 10:40 saying, by doing that, we are receiving and welcoming Jesus Christ. When we receive, he who receives and welcomes you, receives Me, and he who receives me, receives him who sent me. That means we also receive God.

05:07 We receive Jesus Christ means receive Father God. Now to receive first of all brother and sister. We receive each other.

05:13 We receive and welcome each other, brother and sister. Now when we do that, Jesus saying, you have received and welcomed Jesus Christ, and when we receive, welcome Jesus Christ. We have received and welcomed Father God.

05:27 John 1:12 but to as many as did receive and welcome him, he gave the right, the authority, the privilege to become children of God. That is, those who believe in, adhere to him, adhere to his command, trust in him, and rely on him and his name. We
rely on his name.

05:47 We Trust in His name. We trust Him. We trust Jesus Christ.

05:50 Now this is very critical. These two scriptures interlinked in understanding. So when we receive a brother, when we receive a sister, we are receiving and welcoming Jesus Christ.

06:00 When we receive Jesus Christ, we are becoming and receiving Father God. And then he says, as many as did receive and welcome Jesus Christ, he gave the right and authority, the privilege to become children of God. So we are getting the right and
privilege to become authority and privilege and the right to become children of God.

06:18 When, when we receive Jesus Christ. How do we receive Jesus Christ and welcome Jesus Christ? By receiving our brother and sister and welcoming them in Christ. Can you imagine how they are linked? So when we receive a brother and sister in Christ, we
are receiving birth and welcoming Jesus Christ.

06:37 And when we receive and welcome Jesus Christ, we are receiving and welcoming Father God. And when we do that, when we welcome Jesus Christ and receive him, we are given the power, the authority, the privilege to become children of God. Fantastic.

06:51 Fantastic. Brothers and sisters, better keep this mind. Now in Ephesians 5:1 11, Ephesians 5:1 11.

07:00 I’m reading from the Catholic edition, Ephesians 1:5 1:11. Now remember this, we talk about receiving brothers and sisters in Christ. Now just because we have a congregation and we have a fellowship, doesn’t mean everybody is in Christ.

07:16 This is critical. Don’t assume that. Therefore Ephesians 5:1 11 deals with those who are not receive Christ who are just doing what they want to do.

07:26 Therefore he says, therefore, be imitators of God as beloved children. As beloved children, be imitators of God. And we must imitate.

07:36 We must find out what the word of God is telling us to do. And we imitate that. Live in love as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us.

07:45 A fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. This is Ephesians 5:1 11, Catholic Edition 3. But fornication and impurity of any kind or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among saints.

08:02 Now we’re talking about saints. These are all of us who are children of God or followers of God, or followers of Jesus Christ are saints. Therefore, fornication, impurity of any kind of greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among
saints among the people of God.

08:20 People of God are called saints. Of course, some organization will tell you, I appoint you a saint and this and that. And there are others who say, I appoint you apostles.

08:27 There are organizations in America, they call them school of apostles and all that appointing apostles everywhere, we leave that all alone. We look at this, Father God telling us in his scripture, Jesus Christ. Scripture, the word of God is Jesus
Christ.

08:44 He says, we are saints so long as we are people of God. We are children of God. We want to imitate God.

08:48 We want to follow Jesus Christ. We accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and master. We are saints.

08:55 But so do not think the saint is only a special group. No, no. When you are following Jesus Christ, the Bible is clear that God calls you a saint.

09:06 For entirely out of place is obscene, silly and vulgar talk. So anybody having obscene, silly and vulgar talk, you know it’s entirely out of place. For a fellowship among saints, among the children of God is entirely out of place.

09:22 But instead, let there be thanksgiving. Thank Jesus Christ. Even things go wrong, we give thanks.

09:28 Why all things will work for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose. That’s a scripture. So we give thanks knowing fully well that scripture, even things going wrong, Our Father, our Jesus Christ, the husband of my
soul, will make it work out for my good.

09:44 Now, if you believe that word of God, then you are able to give thanks. Otherwise you are unable to give thanks. Now, for instance, this one.

09:52 I used to talk as a sailor, you know, before I was born again, before Jesus caught hold of me, I was talking every sentence. There’ll be few vulgar four letter words. That was called a stalker sailor.

10:05 But as soon as Jesus got a hold of me and Jesus set me free, I didn’t realize that vulgar left. And the next day, a couple of days later, one staff is telling, boss, you’re not speaking bad words anymore. I said, yeah.

10:25 Then go and check the scripture. It’s clear. Jesus Christ takes control of our tongue.

10:30 The Holy Spirit takes control of our tongue for his purpose. It went suddenly? No, I shocked myself. I thank God for that.

10:36 Now be sure that of this five, be sure of this. That no fornicator or impure person or anyone who’s greedy, that is an idolater. Anybody greedy and couches God called them an idolater.

10:49 Same as idolater. Idolizing these things. Idolizing.

10:52 Want, want, want. I want idolizing themselves as any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Anyone who is doing this, there’s no inheritance.

11:01 Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on those who are disobedient. So those people are doing these things even in the congregation.

11:13 The elders must deal with it. You better inform the elders. Now you are informed the elders.

11:18 You are not carrying tales. You are not busy body. This Is command.

11:21 We will come to the command little later. Down the few more verses. Now remember this.

11:26 You are telling this for two things your humbleness must know. If I tell this, maybe the brother or sister will change and get an inheritance in the kingdom of God. In the kingdom of Christ.

11:35 Because they are doing this, they have no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ. With that intention only. Otherwise of course you can be self righteous.

11:44 So please, let’s not have the self righteousness. You pray until love for this brother and sister say they’re captives. For me it’s easier because I was such a terrible person.

11:54 Vulgar, violent, drunkard, adulterer, fornicator, unclean. Everything is unclean of me that time. So I can think as a captive.

12:04 So I better go and deal with this. I can deal with them in that compassion. Why I was totally more messed up than these people.

12:12 But God is saying in the fellowship, none of this must exist. Now there is a do let go and deceive. Empty words.

12:20 Oh, it’s okay, no problem. God said they’ll interpret this way, that way and say it’s all okay. Don’t listen to all that.

12:26 You go and tell the elders. And it’s for them to do. They don’t want to do.

12:29 Nothing you can do. Then you have to decide what is Jesus Christ telling you? Is this a proper fellowship or not? Therefore, do not be associated with them. 7.

12:40 The wrath of God comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be associated with them. Move away.

12:46 They don’t listen. Brothers and sisters, don’t fight, don’t quarrel, move away from them. But elders and pastors will end up with double condemnation if we do not address this in our own fellowship.

13:00 And this little leaven will spoil the whole bread, whole loaf. So you allow this means step by step, everybody in the congregation will be talking like this. Because bad company will corrupt good character.

13:12 The Spirit will move. So elders and brothers and sisters who are disciples, who are servants and also pastors. Because double condemnation.

13:20 We do not address this and the congregation will fail and they will not get the inheritance in the Kingdom of God, kingdom of Christ. So we will be held accountable. 9.

13:30 For the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. Try to find out what is pleasing to the lord Jesus Christ. 11.

13:39 Take no part in the fruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. That’s a command. So you’re not going and doing your own thing.

13:47 Jesus Christ, the word of God is telling you, giving you a command. If this is going on in this congregation. You have to expose them.

13:54 Brothers and sisters, pastors particularly. You have to expose them. You have to tell them, tell them.

13:59 They don’t listen. Then you have to expose them so others don’t get caught in this. Now, in the Amplified, that was a Catholic edition.

14:06 Amplified edition says this. Do not participate in the worthless and unproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage and godly character. Now, can you imagine God is telling us you are
exposing them.

14:23 It’s not busy body business. You’re not doing this out of spite. But make sure your heart, intention, our intention, must be right.

14:31 So you’re exposing them. Not because you want to carry tails. Oh, I. You know what I’ll do? I’ll let the brother down.

14:37 I’m telling tales. No, no, it’s a command from the husband of your soul. You’ll expose them.

14:42 This you do by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage and godly character. Now, if you don’t want to do this, then you are breaking the word of God, breaking the law of God, so nothing anybody can do. So remember, if those who are doing
this, they are not saints, they don’t want to follow Jesus Christ.

15:03 If they fell into this. Suddenly you see a brother suddenly talk bad words, he came out of it, forgive him, understand him, because he’s been converted. But if they all the time practicing this.

15:12 Here we are talking about people practicing these things, practicing. Those who are practicing this, God already said in John, they’re born of the devil. They’re born of the devil, and so they are not sheep.

15:27 Feed my sheep. Jesus says, if you love me, feed my sheep. We have to feed the sheep with the word of God, not with our own likes and dislikes.

15:35 Feed them with the word of God. They don’t follow. Take them to the elders or the pastors, whoever, and tell them this.

15:43 And they don’t want to do this their business. Now you have done your part. Now you have to decide.

15:48 You institute fellowship in your own home. If you’re a single mother, if you’re a widow, institute fellowship in your own home for your own children and start teaching these things. If you’re a husband, a father, please do this in your own home,
have your fellowship.

16:04 Your family is your first fellowship. If you have no body, you are alone or you fellowship with others. First, let’s just start there somewhere and begin to understand.

16:15 Our God is a serious God. He loves us, but he will not tolerate all this nonsense, pretending to love and do as we wish, because he suffered so much, to give us the power. The name of Jesus Christ will cast out every evil spirit, fornication, all
that.

16:32 In the name of Jesus Christ, we command our heart and mind. And then we plead the blood of Jesus on ourselves. With the blood of Jesus Christ, we can live this life as saints, as people of God.

16:42 Brothers and sisters, today is a wonderful day. Think over this and begin to do, because that’s what the husband of your soul wants you to do. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray.

16:53 Amen.
