DCLM Higher Everyday 13 March 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Fellowship After Conversion
Topic: Fellowship After Conversion
Text: Acts 2:41-47
41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
43And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Key Verse: “And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42).
Message
All mammals nurse their young ones till they are matured enough to fend for themselves. In Christendom, new converts, no matter their ages, must continue learning the way of the Lord. When Christ gave the command, “Go ye into the world, and preach the gospel to every creature,” He also implied maturing the converts through teaching, mentoring, and guarding them against false prophets.

True salvation is manifested in commitment to the fellowship of saints and actions of faith in Christ. Fellowship empowers for growth and steadfast walk with the Lord. It is also a place where you learn about Bible doctrines, effectual fervent prayer, patience in persecution and trials, and godly social relationships. Christ’s first disciples had three and half years of training before He left them on earth. New converts should avail themselves of healthy fellowship at school and the local church for profitable learning. Become a fellowship freak! Young Timothy became a Bishop in Ephesus after much training through association with Apostle Paul who impacted him spiritually (2 Timothy 1:6). Who is your model and mentor?
Quote: Fellowship empowers for growth
Challenge: When you stop learning in Christ you wither away.
Prayer for today: Oh God, give me the passion for fellowship of believers.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
