Welcome back to another session on Kitchen's Fellowship. This time we had a good time together. It was just a simple dinner with some sharing and praying together. The soup was great and porky. Haha.
Anyway, we look into something important today. It is about the Beatitudes from Matthew 5:3, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven".
There are seven ways to determine if you are poor in spirit.
1. You will be weaned from self.
2. You will focus on Christ.
When you are poor in spirit, the wonder of Christ captivates you.
3. You will never complain.
You will accept God's sovereign control over your circumstances.
4. You will see good in others.
5. You will spend time in prayer.
It is a characteristics of a beggar to beg. We are to deny ourselves and come into His presence seeking to be filled.
6. You will take Christ on His terms.
7. You will praise and thank God.
You will be be filled with praise and wonders of God's grace.
Well, keep on praying for one another. The power of fellowship is unbelievable when we come togther seeking God, breaking bread and giving thanks to Him.

it truly is different and refreshing to be in the company of the family in Christ, the breaking of bread, the giving thanks and the prayer for one another.
The sharing of our lives meant that we are only human in the hands of God. It brings out the brotherhood and encouragement of one another. i encourage those who can, to join in and share a meal. You can even start your own, but join us first..lol..
It can be a small group(preferably) and with simple meals but (to quote them) EXPLOSIVE FELLOWSHIP. It is not the food, it is the heart and fellowship that truly matters. It is the support for one another, lacking in this world.These are times when sharing a meal with the right people could truly change u.
