Fellowship is one of those buzz Christian words. Churches have
fellowship halls, fellowship meetings, and times of fellowship. But what
do we mean?
The Greek word is koinonia, which translates as partnership. The origin
of the word is koinonos, which means partner, sharer, and companion. In
short, it is a shared community that involves deep, close-knit
participation among its people. The picture then is not of a surface-level,
friendly fellowship but of a radical and almost intimate unity. And this is
the consistent teaching of the New Testament. The first occurrence of
koinonia in the Bible comes in Acts 2:42. The newly baptized believers
“devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship
(koinonia), to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Luke comments that
they, “had everything in common” as they sold property to give to
anyone in need, gathered regularly in the temple courts, and ate joyfully
in their homes (Acts 2:43-47). This is far more than formal nominal
Christianity. This is the real deal. And it’s attractive because it’s so real. God has saved us to belong to his new family, and the mark of true
belonging is an active love which sacrificially serves.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

• Galatians 5:16-26 & Colossians 3:1-16
• In these text, Bro Paul depicts two contrasting
conditions-carnality and spirituality
• Carnality is the life of sin, spirituality is the life
of (holy Spirit) seed bearing
• The more we bear fruits, the quicker we
become like Christ
• And then, the more effective will the gifts of
the Spirit be in edifying the Church

12. Answer contd
“Some people have a warped idea of living the Christian life.
Seeing talented, successful Christians, they attempt to imitate
them. For them, the grass on the other side of the fence is
always greener. But when they discover that their own gifts are
different or their contributions are more modest (or even
invisible), they collapse in discouragement and overlook genuine
opportunities that are open to them. They have forgotten that
they are here to serve Christ, not themselves.”

17. C. Discerning of Spirits
• Detecting the true spirit behind the acts and
manifestations taking place around us through
the prompting and directive of the Holy Spirit

• Quite important in the last days of satanic lies
and deceit. See 1Jn 4:1, I Tim 4:1-2,Thess 2:9-12
• Needed in church to shield young believers from
falling prey of deceit. See 16:16-18, Mt 16:15-17,22-23

• Because they are supernatural utterances of the Holy
Spirit spoken through a vessel(user)
• Diverse tongues as supernatural utterance of
the Holy Spirit in an unknown tongue
• Edifies only the user if there is no
interpretation.
• Equivalent to prophecy if correctly and
carefully interpreted (I Corinthians 14:5-6)

• Inspired interpretation of the message contained
in spoken unknown tongues
• In most cases, not word-for-word interpretation,
since spoken tongues are unintelligble
– Maybe shorter/longer than the actual spoken tongue
– In rare case, might be word for word interpretation.
• Hence, it depends on the level of spiritual
sensitivity of the spirit man of the interpreter
• And His Faith!
• See I cor 14:13, Call for order: I cor 14:40

25. Interpretation contd....
• A case-study
“My little children, dont be scared. But if you are
scared, I dont blame you, because sometimes I get
scared myself“
Hagin, K.E., 1969. The Gift of Prophecy. Kenneth E. Hagin.
Is this a manifestation of the Holy Spirit?
Should we say the interpreter is not a christian?
Should we say she is not filled with the Holy Spirit?

• What is prophecy?

often God‘s inspired messsage for edifying the
church now or later

later)

28. What is Prophecy contd.....
• Note:
• Because of its importance(especially in the old
testament)
• It is highly important for the one prophesying to be
Spirit filled with sensitive spiritual ears always
• You cannot know the mind of God if you dont have the
Spirit of God
• Ref: I cor 2:9-16,Rm 8: 16, Num 11:16-17 & 24-
29, Deut 29:29,I sam 10:10, Psalms 25:14,Pro
3:32, Amos 3:7, Gen 41:38

29. GiftofProphesyingandOfficeofaProphet
Operating in the gift of prophecy does not
make one a prophect
The office of a prophect is a ministry
requires the consistent manifestation of gift of
prophecy and at least two revelation gift
See I cor 12:28, I cor 14:1, 5a
Prophet Agabus vs Phillip daughters: Acts 11:27-
29 vs Acts 21:8-14

30. InterpretationofTonguesvsProphecy
• Both are inspired utterances from the Holy Spirit
• Tongues are prophecies provided there is faith-
based interpretation: I cor 14:5
• Hence, both fulfil the purpose of edification,
unlike speaking in tongues that edífies only the
speaker if not interpreted: I cor 14:5
• Prophecy cut across all section of spiritual
activities such as preaching,witnessing, singing,
reading psalms: Eph 5: 18,19,I cor 14:26,

31. Purpose of prophecy
• In old testament, prophecy is mostly foretelling,
• Howbeit with all the elements of edifying, exhorting and
comforting
• Prophecies of the patriachs of old
• For example Jacob prophecies: Genesis 49:1
• Moses Deut 28:1-end
• Micaiah Prophecy I kings 22:7-28
• Nathan Prophecy 2 Sam 12: 1-25
• Ezekiel Prophecy : Ezekiel 36,Ezekiel 37:1-14
• But in general, the main highlight of old testament
prophecies can summed up in “Oh Isreal, return to the
Lord“

32. Purpose of prophecy
• An important tool for edifying, comforting and exhorting people. I cor
14:3
• Edifying-to build up or charge up
– See: I cor 14:26, Rev 2:9-10, 12-14
– I chronicles 12 : 17-18,How does this apply to today‘s church?
• Comforting- to sheer up or console
– See II Samuel 30:6,Psalm 42, 43
– Finding strength in the Lord in times of trouble is not what
human nature can tolerate;
– It entails allowing the Spirit of God to speak to/through you
towards encouraging you, so that you can encourage others
during thier timesof trouble
• Do you know Joseph M.Scriven, the lyricist of “What a
friend we have in Jesus“

35. C. Important to note
• Prophecy is subjected to the faith of the one
prophesying : I cor 14:32, Romans 12:6
• Faith and knowledge of the word of God are
paramount for operating in this gift
• All prophecies need to be screened with the gift of
discerning of spirit to ascertain their source.I cor
14:24-25
• Why?- Because of the danger of apostaste,
backslidden prophets

38. A. The Gift of Faith
• Faith, a mystery that is not limited in use to believers
but to non-believers as well
– We all believe in the law of motion, law of gravity,
law of sleeping and waking, law of reaping and
sowing.
– Theoretical faith vs Biblical faith
• Each one of us has been given a measure/level of
faith; Romans 12:3
• A living faith is a faith with proof!!!
• Faith grows through the hearing the word of
God,Romans 10:17

God‘s power: Romans 1:16, Acts 6:8, II

40. Now! Gift of Faith......
• Football Analogy
• Everyone who plays football is called a footballer,
• so everyone who confesses Jesus as Lord can be called
“faith-carrier“
• But as some footballers have distingusied themselves
by reason of use, so some christians have exercised
thier faith to a spuernatural level of all-possibilities.
– This level of faith is called gift of faith!!!!
