Continuing in Fellow
When Jesus left, the
early believers could have fractured. They could have argued or disbanded. Yet
Acts 1:14 reveals something remarkable—they were “with one mind.”
Fellowship is more
than proximity; it’s spiritual unity. They weren’t just in the same room; they
shared the same heartbeat.
Unity doesn’t come
naturally. Differences in background, personality, experience, and even
spiritual maturity can threaten our fellowship. But when revival is the goal,
division must die.
The early church
remembered their shared purpose: they loved Jesus, loved one another, believed
in the Gospel, and were willing to die for it.
We live in a divided
world. Even the church is often fractured by personal preferences and
non-essential disagreements. But if we want to see revival, we must return to
the unity of the upper room—a fellowship founded on love, mission, and
humility.
Scripture:
Ephesians 4:1-6 - Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

Application:
Reach out to a fellow believer today. Encourage them, pray for them, or simply express gratitude. Examine your heart for any division or bitterness. Ask God to restore unity where it’s needed.

Prayer:
Father, unite our hearts in love and purpose. Forgive us for allowing selfishness or pride to disrupt our fellowship. Give us one mind, one spirit, and one mission—to glorify You and make Jesus known.
