BROKEN FELLOWSHIP



In the factory, work was going on full speed & every machine was working & producing to its utmost limit. Suddenly a main machine came to a standstill, and the power had to be switched off, making the other machines also idle.

The work had come to a standstill. What had happened? Just this - the belt round the main pulley shaft & that particular machine had snapped, and the whole shop was thrown idle.

Fellowship with God by His Spirit is like the belt.

When it is preserved intact, the service of the Lord goes on spontaneously; but, when fellowship is broken, the work comes to a standstill until fellowship is re-established.

1 Cor 1:9 (GNT): “God is to be trusted, the God who called you to have fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.”

“Most Christians do not have fellowship with God; they have fellowship with each other about God.” -  Paris Reidhead.
