Fellowship at the Celebration House
1 Corinthians 14:26
Well, my brothers and sisters, let's summarize what I am saying. When
you meet, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some
special revelation God has given, one will speak in an unknown language,
while another will interpret what is said. But everything that is done
must be useful to all and build them up in the Lord. (NLT)
The word “meet" is derived from the word “synergy.” Christian gatherings
are not supposed to have a speaker/audience structure. Christians are to
meet to synergize as peers. “When you meet, synergize.” allowing the
uniqueness of each person and his gift(s) to manifest in a crescendo of
living instruments.
For this to take place, the body must arrive with a certain amount of
expectation. People should come ready and prepared to participate.
Things happen when God’s people come together. Paul writes, “A spiritual
gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church." (1
Corinthians 12:7).” Paul explains that each person’s gift is given
to benefit the others, so unless there was a coming together, a meeting,
and a synergizing, some person(s) might not receive their benefit(s).
This scripture conveys the idea that God never intended a single person,
or even a few “elite,” to have control or dominance over any meeting. It
is the interaction of all available parts that creates synergy/unity.
In fellowship at The Celebration House, there is no stage, no “front” of
the room, no pulpit, no person in control. All of us have prepared for
the meeting in private study, worship, and prayer. We all sit together
as a group with our children present. We worship the Lord together and
wait upon Him. The Holy Spirit moves among us as a flowing river,
touching each of us with a different aspect/gift of His common theme. We
share spiritual insight, testimonies, what God has been doing in our
lives, prayer requests, and healing needs. We encourage each other and
we hold each other accountable. And our children are just as much a part
as the adults.
