UNITY

Text: Psalms 133:1 

Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] For brethren to dwell together in unity

Good and Great things happen when brethren come together in unity. For instance, the Holy Ghost came down on the day of pentecost when Jesus' disciples stayed together in unity.

Acts 2:1 says, "when the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place." The Holy Ghost wouldn't have come down if the disciples had not stayed together in one accord. They were all with one accord and in one place. If only the local churches could stay together in one accord and in one place, they would have been experiencing greater things than they are experiencing now.

If husband and wife could stay together in one accord and in one place, their family will achieve great and mighty things.

If organisations stay together in one accord and in one place, their bottom line (profit) will skyrocket.

If two friends stay together in one accord and in one place, they will achieve great feat in their relationship.

The one major (silent) criterion for the advent of the Holy Ghost on the day of pentecost was unity among the Apostles. That's the reason the scripture stated that they were with one accord and in one place.

 *It takes love for brethren to stay together in unity.* The devil fights the unity of God's people so hard, hence, God's people must also see to it that they fight and work hard, that is, they must endeavour to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of Peace. (Ephesians 4:3).

Always make it a point of duty to live in unity with brethren wherever you find yourself.

 *Bible Reading :* 

 ACTS 2:1-12.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, I receive the grace to always endeavour to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace in the name of Jesus Christ.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
