In this clip, we explore the true meaning of fellowship and its power to bring forgiveness, light, and truth. We look into the original Greek word of fellowship, which is Koinonia, and examine its unique significance in God's original plan. We discover how Satan interfered with this divine plan by his own fellowship in Eden and how God checkmated him through the second Adam, Jesus. You will learn how love is the key instrument in achieving fellowship with God, Jesus, and with one another and how doing that brings light, truth and forgiveness.

Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Mat 20:25-28.

Humility is a virtue to get to the top the bible says God looks at the proud afar off but bows down to the humble. Promotion comes from God, not man.

Rulers and leaders are supposed to be chosen by the people based on their service to the people especially in their immediate community. Those appointed into political leadership supposed to be those who grew from down up through grassroot politicking. That is the way to greatness. Those who start from the top would rule and have dominion over the people because they never grew into it from the down up.

The second category of people are those who are great.

While the first set of people exercise dominion, this set exercise authority.

Who are the people Jesus referred to as “those who are great?

These referred to people with positions and financial power. Jesus said this type of people “exercise authority upon their subjects.

Finding Peace is not a function of money or things. 

Many have these things but are still looking for peace albeit in all the wrong places. 

True peace is inner peace. People don't know where to get this peace despite all the possess. 

Some truly have peace in the world but do not have peace with God. What sense is in having peace for 100 years on earth and not having peace for eternity? All the things that gives us peace now will one day go and we will be left with chaos. Peace with God is the ultimate as it not only gives us peace here on earth but also in the after life. 

The best peace we can have is having peace with God and that can only happen through Jesus. 

Jesus said, "My peace I leave with you not as the world gives." (Joh 14:27). 

True peace is the peace that transcends your own understanding and the understanding of any man or anything. 

Finding peace is not being afraid of tomorrow. It is not not being afraid of death and afterlife. 

However, Paul tells us in the book of Romans two ways we can have this peace.  

"Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God" (Rom 5:1)

1.  Through Justification. This is through what Jesus did for us on the cross. We are pronounced "not guilty" because He took our place and died for the sins He did not commit. We are now justified by the faith we have in that finished works of Christ on Calvary. We can rejoice in that and that will bring peace into our hearts. Not only peace in the world, but also peace with God. We can live the rest of our lives in peace knowing that we are not condemned. He does not condemn us but rather just justified us (Rom 8:1). Even when we commit sin, we have peace that if we confess our sins, "... he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1Jn 1:9).

2. Hope of eternity. Many don't know where they are going when they die. But because we have been justified here on earth, we will be glorified in heaven. That brings peace into out hearts knowing that we know where we are going when we die. Isn't that simply peaceful! That's why the Bible calls it a hope of eternity. Paul says in 2Cor 5:1: "For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens" This means even if we pass through difficult time here on earth, finding peace on earth and our hope of eternity should keep us alive. 

Little wonder 1Cor 15:19 says, "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." Our hope is in heaven, therefore our affection should be there. 

In the last line of verse two of our text, Paul asked us to rejoice in the hope of this glory.

Our finding peace is because of these tow things Paul highlighted 

- Because we are justified through Jesus's works on Calvary, we have peace on earth and 

- Because we have a hope of eternity when we die through Jesus' works in heaven to prepare a place for us.

Start rejoicing. Start to confess peace. Confess peace in your life, home, family, and so on. Confess peace over your children regardless of what the enemy is doing. Confess peace over your marriage despite the tide. He has given you peace on earth and peace after you die. 

Rejoice, again, I say, rejoice. Always! Shalom!

“And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre” (Luke24:2).

The stone is rolled away, the seal is broken, the soldiers are scattered.

Sometimes we are in such a situation that looks like we're dead and buried. Jesus was there once. He was actually killed and buried in a tomb with a big stone and seal over the entrance, and several soldiers deployed to make sure he did not resurrect as he predicted, but he resurrected anyway despite all the obstacles.

The tomb was a secured underground place not easily accessible. It was air-tight and cordoned off to ward off anyone without a need and animals. But the very early of the third day that Jesus was buried, the disciples came to the tomb to prepare the body for eternal journey home.  They were wondered who was going to roll the stone away but to their amazement, they encountered a few miracles:

1. The stone was rolled away already, and the tomb was empty.

2. They saw angels who asked them why they were looking for the living among the dead, and that Jesus was no longer in the tomb but had resurrected as he prophesied.

I don't know how secure your prison is. I don't know the power or force that has put you in the tomb to rot and be forgotten, but one thing I know is there is a greater power that can roll away the stone, break the seal, and scatter the soldiers assigned to keep you in the tomb.

Maybe you are buried in debt, sickness, shame, rejection, or failure. Jesus went through worst, and he triumphed. Because he did, you can, too.

The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is alive today! It is called, “The resurrection power.” If anything is dead at all, it is the ugly situation and circumstances in your life, not you. Stop looking for the living among the dead. Stop seeing those things as living. They are dead and you live.

If God could bring a life back from the dead, he can bring you back no matter how dead you are or how long you’ve been in the tomb. Look at your situation in the face and tell them that the finger that rolled away the stone that that was used to make sure Jesus did not resurrect and yet he resurrected anyway is working in me right now.

Whatever power, authority, or system that is trying to keep you in prison has encountered a superior authority that is changing things right now.

· Every Stone that has been rolled to cover the entrance to your miracle is rolled away in Jesus’ name.

· Every seal that has been carefully and deliberately put on the entrance to God's miracle in your life is broken in Jesus’ name.

· Every soldier that has been assigned to make sure you do not rise from the tomb are scattered in the name of Jesus.

This is your confession from now on: The stone is rolled away, the seal is broken, the soldiers are scattered.

Confess it and you will possess it, in Jesus’ name.
