Message
Partnership is the coming together of two or more people with common goal and responsibilities to achieve a result. A person cannot be a partner of himself, you need someone to form partnership with. Friends of Jesus are called to be labourers together with God, that is partnership. You join hands with God your Partner to have a warm fellowship with Him. The common goal is to end up with Him in heaven. God is the greatest partner you can ever have, He is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother and is ready to meet your needs at all times. Why not run to Him and make Him your best Partner in this journey of life.
There are many things that may want to distract you from having a full fellowship or partnership with God such as rebellion, wickedness, witchcraft, stubbornness, lying, fighting etc. You must do away with them so that God will not be angry with you. What should you do to enjoy partnership with God? It is very simple. Repent and turn away from your bad ways and the Lord will forgive you. From then you will begin to enjoy full partnership with God.
Further Reading: Acts 17:28-31
Prayer for today: I want to enjoy partnership with You, Oh Lord, help me.
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)
