Our fellowship with one another (fellowship in Greek is koinónia
Strong's 2842. κοινωνία literally means, COMMON BEING. Which IS Christ! Now this Christ, in our spirit, discerned through our heart, when we come into contact with brothers and sisters, that "heart" witness is spontaneous. So that the presence of Christ is felt instantaneously. BUT! Fellowship of the spirit must be cultivated! Grown if you will.
The witness of the holy Spirit IS spontaneous but conversation between saints is not (where the practice of denying the self is still in its infancy) The old self (i.e. old wine skin of the soul, our natural man) is still very much in charge. The old self's influence can be felt whenever we are engaging it. Under the principle of "seconds" it is always the first inclination we have to engage. But if we pause, we will "hear" from our hearts, the new self desiring to express itself. This is Christ. At first, like a new born baby, the new self may make an utterance or an attempt to speak but may not be perceived with any spiritual knowledge or understanding. So we only "get a sense" of what the inner man is attempting to express. And our tongues, may as of yet still be "untamed" and therefore handicapped at expressing Christ (in effect, salt water and sweet water being produced at the same time). And the new self (Col. 3 Amplified) is still in infancy and like a new born babe cannot intelligently express Christ in any discernible way. At best, we see this in undisciplined Christians who will, in one moment speak Christ and in the next moment curse men. This greatly hinders the Holy Spirit working through us and keeps us powerless, hobbled if you will.
But with continued "practice" we learn to "deny the old self" (this is only accomplished through wisdom that comes from above.) and "find out" what pleases the Lord.
WHY LATE CM ADENAN SO POPULAR? 1. Tyt Tun Taib, PM Najib, federal n state cabinet ministers, sultan of brunei, opposition leaders n members, civil servants, public members frm all over n thousands others of all races, creeds n religions paid their last respect to cm adenan. Why was cm adenan so popular? Why the massive outpouring of real love n respect for the man? 2. Firstly, people truly admire n respect him as a person- for his simplicity, sincerity n humility n also for his character of openess, candour n straight-forwardness. He said wht he meant n meant wht he said, nothing more n nothing less. People could trust him. N they could rely on his words. Respect came frm there. 2.as a leader, cm adenan had clearly shown tht he cared for the people, regardless of race, religion n culture. He had both empathy n sympathy for all under him, esp the poor n the struggling lot in the rural parts. Hence his focus on poverty-alleviation plans n rural devnt. These got him really endeared to the prople. 3.cm adenan truly loved swak n did everything for swak n its people. He feared nobody n took all risks in calling the federal govnt to return swak's rights n powers as contained in the malaysia agreement 1963. He got powerful petronas to give n do more for swak. Other politicians wld play easy n safe but not cm adenan. He demanded things for swak with sincerity, openess n without fear. He got guts n courage. Tht was true leadership. People everywhere truly respect n admire him for those traits. 4. Cm adenan had told n showed the world tht leadership cld be straight, clean n honest. Tht politics need not be rough n dirty. Tht govnt cld listen to the opposition n hear out their views. No leader in msia had done wht cm adenan did. Tht is why pkr people like mb selangor paid respects n so did dap. People love cm adenan for hearing out n for giving due respect to the opposition. 6. Cm adenan listened to the concerns n worries of the people n did his best in bringing out the solutions. He made moves in solving the people's pblms. He really did. he removed bridge tolls. He reduced electricity rates. He got people to pay a token rm1for a ferry crossing.he did so many things tht reduced expenses. the rising high cost of living hurt the people n cm adenan knew tht n did something.. 6.he knew the chinese had big concern for education n so he gave funds to chinese schools. The chinese were pleased for tht. He said no to the offensive word ''pendatang'' for the chinese. 7. To the peninsular extremists, bigots n trouble-makers, cm adenan had no love for them. Swakians loved him for tht. 8. Petronas played hard on cm adenan n so he used his immigration powers. This brought elation to swakians. To cm adenan, petronas made billions frm swak oil n gas n so petronas must give something more to swak. 9. Cm adenan n bn swak won 72 out of 82 dun seats in the last state elcn. This was a landslide. It showed tht bn swak cld be trusted under cm adenan. People had real confidence in the man for his leadership,character n vidion. 10. No politician in msia, i think, is as clean n as simple as cm adenan. He sought no wealth, no name n no adulation . His was a leadership totally n absolutely dedicated in serving swak n its people. This is very very rare in msian politics. I think all in msia saw n appreciated tht. Real respect n genuine admiration arose frm tht. These ten n many other reasons made cm adenan truly popular n well liked n admired. Dato peter minos.
