Unity

UNITY is a situation in which a group of people work together for a particular purpose.

 

In John 17.11b Jesus prayed for His disciples asking for UNITY: "...Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name - the name you gave me - so that they may BE ONE as we are one." Jesus also prayed for all believers, asking again for UNITY in verse 21: "That all of them may BE ONE, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me."

 

- There's power in UNION. Nobody can do anything alone. Successful companies, organizations, work in groups, teams, partnership.

 

- Jesus Himself chose 12 disciples and trained, equipped, taught, prepared  and worked with them.

 

- Eccl. 4.12 says "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." - UNION is powerful!!!

 

- Proverbs 18.1 says "A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgment."

 

- BE ONE: as Ephesians 4.3-6, 13 says "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all...until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."

 

As we have ONE God, we are ONE church, members of ONE body,  let's ask the Lord to give us ONE mind, ONE thought, ONE vision, ONE purpose, ONE desire, ONE heart and walk in UNITY, so that the world may believe in Jesus. Let's work together!!! PSALM 133: "How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!  It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore."
