God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Fellowship is from the Greek word, “koinonia” which literally means 'to have something in common.' What comes to mind when you think of fellowship? Is it conversations with other believers, Christian parties, a “fellowship hall” – the name of the room behind the sanctuary? Fellowship in the biblical usage is the verbal exchange of encouragement between two or more believers. It’s taking about trials and how we can be encouraged. It’s talking about blessings and their source in God. It’s talking about special insights from the Word. It’s encouraging a brother or sister in Christ through divine means. Discussing the weather, sports or bodily pains is not biblical fellowship.
No words can express how much the world owes to sorrow. Most of the Psalms were born in the wilderness. Most of the Epistles were written in a prison. The greatest thoughts of the greatest thinkers have all passed through fire. The greatest poets have “learned in suffering what they taught in song.” In bonds Bunyan lived the allegory that he afterwards wrote, and we may thank Bedford Jail for the Pilgrim’s Progress. Take comfort, afflicted Christian! When God is about to make pre-eminent use of a person, He puts them in the fire.
