KEY SCRIPTURE: Acts 1:8 KJV “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
The fellowship of the Holy Spirit is basically not an initiative from us, but that from the Holy Spirit. It is referring to the Spirit who consciously comes to us to help us. Among other meanings of the word help in the Greek language is the word ‘sunantilambano’ These are three Greek words joined together to give one word. These words are,’ sun’ which means with or together. The next word is ‘anti’, which means ‘against’. The last word is ‘lambano’, which means ‘to take a hold of’. The meaning of that word ‘Help’ is ‘to take a hold together against’. The Holy Spirit helps us by, taking a hold together with us against everything that we face. This should come as very refreshing to us.
The Holy Spirit joins together with us in winning the lost to Christ. Our key scripture shows us that when the Spirit comes upon us He fills us with power. You are now a power house because of the fellowship of the Spirit. Power in us is not a feeling, it is the knowledge and believe of the presence of the Spirit that has given us power to witness. Witnessing is not only sharing about Christ but demonstrating the power of the risen Christ. Another aspect of the help of the Holy Spirit is to manifest health in our bodies. Romans 8:11. He quickens or makes alive our mortal bodies.
The Holy Spirit’s fellowship with us takes away fear from us. He is God, who is ever present with us. What may come our way that is mightier than Him? We must firmly acknowledge He is ever present with us to help. He is not only with us, but in us to give us peace and guidance. He comes upon us to do special assignments to bless humanity. Dear child of God, you must know that the greatest and best companion you need for a happy, successful and impactful life is present with you. Give Him that honor, love and appreciation of His help in your life. The worst harm you could do to yourself is to despise His presence with you.
