HOW TO KOINONIA WITH THE SPIRIT
2 Corinthians 13:14 says 'The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,the love of God and the communion of the Holy Ghost,be with you all'
The word communion there is koinonia, which means fellowship. Our first general purpose is to fellowship with God,and it's the Holy Spirit that makes this fellowship possible. He brings to you the presence of God the Father and God the Son. Hallelujah!!!
When you're in fellowship with someone,that person pours into you and you also pour into that person. Thus,you need to be careful who you fellowship with. You shouldn't fellowship with everybody. Not everybody should be your close friend.
One of the ways you can fellowship with God is through prayer,and this means any kind of prayer. Our God is a talking God,He's not dumb. As you talk to Him,He's talking right back to you.
Another way is through fasting. Fasting means that you're putting your flesh under. Primarily, fasting means staying away from food. By extension, it goes beyond that,it may mean fasting from your hobbies,your favourites,those things that you like to do. Whatever the fasting is,the aim is to put your flesh under so that your spirit can gain the mastery to subdue the flesh, so that your spirit can rise.
Worship is another way through which you can fellowship with God. You can sing to Him. Singing is a form of worship,but it is not all there is to worship. For more on worship,get the message titled - A New Order of Worship - by Apostle Victor Peters.
The last one is through the Word. Every time you carry your Bible to study, you're fellowshipping with Him. Primarily, God talks to us through His Word.
God does not want you to be in fellowship with Him once in a while, but all the time. Maintain a constant fellowship with Him. What a life it will be for you when you fellowship with Him all the time, twenty four hours of the day, seven days of the week, it's the best place to be beloved. Make up your mind that your fellowship with Him this month will be deeper.
SAY: I enjoy a deeper and sweeter fellowship with the Holy Spirit everyday, in Jesus name.
