Unity

Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

- Romans 15:5-6, NKJV

The Bible tells us that a unified Church is an enabled and empowered Church joined through the love of Christ and moved through the Holy Spirit. Know that while individual prayer, faith, and love can remove problems from situations and circumstances, there is strength in the power of unity that stems from God’s people standing in unison to intercede for the world’s behalf. This unity is of the utmost importance in that it is the antithesis of carnality (self/individuality) and the fulfillment of Christ’s obedience/sacrifice (selflessness). Understand that a unified and praying Church is submissive to the will of God and aligned with His Word and His Spirit; as a result, there is nothing this body, aligned in Christ, can’t do. However, the immediacy of “now” and the allure of darkness often precludes unity among the body…leaving the world’s patients void of the very strength and peace promised to them by God. This is a year of alignment to God’s will and spiritual unity within the body of Christ; subsequently, we must heed the call to push aside “self” and “selfish” ways that God’s light may be spread through the power of an enabled and empowered Church. Through such unity, God will reveal Himself to His people through deliverance, healing, and restoration - And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:17-18, NKJV). Today be the seed of change the world so desperately seeks and bear God’s fruits that hurting and impoverished world might once again be filled by God’s Word and moved by His Spirit - Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, and pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, and you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations” (Joel 2:18-19, NKJV).

BE BLESSED!
