In this episode of the Gadites USA Juniors meeting, our Pastor continued the series on the Gradations of Love, focusing on the third level: the “Love of the Brethren.” He established that while God’s love extends to all men and specifically to all saints, there is a profound depth found only in the brotherhood of those whose spirits have been quickened and made alive in Christ.We began by exploring the binary nature of the spiritual realm, distinguishing between those who are spiritually dead and those who are spiritually alive. Using a testimony from Kenneth E. Hagin, it was emphasized that “brethren” strictly refers to fellow believers because a shared spiritual life is the only basis for true brotherhood. We saw that while an unbeliever’s spirit is naturally drawn away from God, a believer’s spirit is designed to ascend toward Him.In addition, we saw the critical distinction between Relationship and Fellowship. While relationship is established automatically through spiritual rebirth, fellowship is a deliberate investment of time, proximity, and love. Through 1 John 1:1-3, we saw that the Apostle John invited fellow believers—who already had a relationship with God—into a deeper fellowship that provides access to the inner workings and secrets of the Father.Furthermore, we saw that spiritual access and revelation are not distributed equally among all believers but are measured by one’s capacity for fellowship. Using John 5:19-20, Pastor illustrated that because the Father loves the Son, He shows Him “all things.” This reveals that the depth of our intimacy with God determines the level of spiritual gifts, access, and judgment He entrusts to us.Ultimately, we learned that we must not settle for just being part of God’s family but must actively cultivate fellowship with Him. The teaching concluded by instructing the juniors that love is the foundation of this intimacy, and just as love gives, God shares His deepest resources with those who choose to walk in close proximity to Him. This sets the stage for understanding how to increase our capacity to receive the deep things of the Spirit through a life of dedicated fellowship.
